Tom Araya | Jeff Hanneman | Kerry King | Dave Lombardo
Seasons in the Abyss est le cinquième album studio de Slayer, paru en 1990.
Critique
Bien qu'il soit, au niveau du style, dans la continuité directe de son prédécesseur (South Of Heaven), Seasons In The Abyss présente la particularité d'être beaucoup plus accompli sur le plan de la production, des compositions musicales et des textes. Cet album est d'ailleurs souvent considéré comme étant le meilleur du groupe, bien que les tenants du Slayer extrême lui préfèrent Reign In Blood. Il est vrai que Seasons in the Abyss est une œuvre très réussie, dans laquelle on retrouve des classiques de Slayer, tel que War Ensemble qui est joué au début de chaque concert, ou bien le fameux Dead Skin Mask.

PAROLES :
Spoiler:
1. War Ensemble
[Hanneman/Araya]
Propaganda death ensemble Burial to be Corpses rotting through the night In blood laced misery Scorched earth the policy The reason for the siege The pendulum it shaves the blade The strafing air blood raid
Infiltration push reserves Encircle the front lines Supreme art of strategy Playing on the minds Bombard till submission Take all to their graves Indication of triumph The number that are dead
[CHORUS] Sport the war, war support The sport is war, total war When victory's a massacre The final swing is not a drill It's how many people I can kill
[CHORUS]
Be dead friend from above When darkness falls Descend into my sights Your fallen walls Spearhead break through the lines Flanked all around Soldiers of attriction Forward their ground Regime prophetic age Old in its time Flowing veins run on through Deep in the Rhine Center of the web All battles scored What is our war crimes (Era forever more...war)
Propaganda war ensemble Burial to be Bones shining in the night In blood laced misery Campaign of elimination Twisted psychology When victory is to survive And death is defeat
[CHORUS] Sport the war, war support The sport is war, total war When the end is a slaughter The final swing is not a drill It's how many people I can kill
2. Blood Red
[Hanneman/Araya]
Peaceful confrontation meet war machine Seizing all civil liberties Honest ballotation among banshee Spilling blood throughout humanity
You cannot hide the face of death Oppression ruled by bloodshed No disguise can deface evil The massacre of innocent people
Deviated lies fear blinding on your eyes Enforcing their truth through a gun Aggressive discipline and barbaric control Thousands of people cannot be wrong
You cannot hide the face of death Oppression ruled by bloodshed No disguise can hide the evil That stains the primitive sickle
Blood red
Growing opposition with words as ammunition Expressions of life's liberties Aggressive discipline and barbaric control Spilling blood throughout humanity
You cannot hide the face of death Oppression ruled by bloodshed No disguise can deface evil The massacre of innocent people
Blood Red
3. Spirit In Black
[Hanneman / King]
Welcome to my world Involve yourself within my dream Experience a life Just like your mind thought not to be Take a look through time As past or present words to be I rule this inferno Enthroned for eternity
[CHORUS] Coils of the serpent unwind Buried beneath you will find Deep in the halls of the damned Spirit in black till the journey's end (Spirit in black till the end)
Spirits damned to rot Amidst the brimstone fireballs Eyes of the dead Watching from their living walls Broken glass reflections Show your flesh eaten away Beyond the gates I'll take you Where the blood forever rains
[CHORUS]
Afterlife confessions Tell me who you used to be Looking on in wonder As I show you it was me Burning from within You know one spark is all it takes Hear the piercing cries of all Who found that hell awaits
Living nightmare can't you see You really have no choice Faded memories haunt you Listen closely to my voice Feed me all your hatred Empty all your thoughts to me I can fill your emptiness With immortality
Welcome to my world Involve yourself within my dream Experience a life just like your mind thought not to be Take a look through time As past or present words to be I rule this inferno Enthroned for eternity
4. Expendable Youth
[King/Araya]
Gun down cold on a raw deal Home turf my battlefield In no one's way caught in a crossfire Stray bullets can kill
[CHORUS] Expendable youths Fighting for possession Having control the principle obsession Rivalry and retribution Death the only solution
Inured soul lies on the ground Head blown off face down Lying in a pool of blood An accidental death homicide
[CHORUS]
Struggling to survive The drug induced warfare To have control and principle obsession Expendable youth fighting for possession Violence is only a friend
[CHORUS]
5. Dead Skin Mask
[Hanneman/Araya]
Graze the skin with my finger tips The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies the means Provocative images delicate features so smooth A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon
[CHORUS] Dance with the dead in my dreams Listen to their hallowed screams The dead have taken my soul Temptation's lost all control
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes Lose all mind control rationale declines Empty eyes enslave the creations Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
In the depths of a mind insane Fantasy and reality are the same
Graze the skin with my finger tips The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means Incised members ornaments on my being Adulating the skin before me
Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes Lose all mind control rationale declines Empty eyes enslave the creations Of placid faces and lifeless pageants
[CHORUS]
6. Hallowed Point
[Hanneman/King/Araya]
High velocity bullet at close range Can damage the mind Shattering the skull shredding the brain Severing the spine
Bury a round of lead in the chest It's quite an impression Imagine the innards of your soul The infliction
[CHORUS] Instinctive regression With intent to kill No regard of human life Or the blood spilled
Riddled convulsions Confetti of flesh Scattered helplessly Losting your control of physical Facilities
Release the slide to cleanse inside Prepare to anoint Snap the tongue in the groove discharge To make my hallowed point
[CHORUS]
The power of a gun Used with conviction Disperesed on excursions Randomly kills its victims
My sweet revenge Bitter in depression The thrilling release Of a hatred deep persuasion
The power of a gun Used with conviction Diffused compulsions Unending repercussions
Violent emotion Screaming revolution Spasmic convulsions Death an empty gun
7. Skeletons Of Society
[Kerry King]
Minutes seem like days Since fire ruled the sky The rich became the beggars And the fools became the wise Memories linger in my brain Of burning from the acid rain A pain I never have won
Nothing here remains No future and no past No one could foresee The end that came so fast Hear the prophet make his guess That paradise lies to the west So join his quest for the sun
Shades of death are all I see Fragments of what used to be
The world slowly decays Destruction fills my eyes Harboring the image Of a spiraling demise Burning winds release they fury Simulating judge and jury Drifting flurries of pain
Deafening silence reigns As twilight fills the sky Eventual supremacy Daylight waits to die Darkness always calls my name A pawn in this recurring game Humanity going insane
Shades of death are all I see Skeletons of Society Shades of death are all I see Fragments of what used to be [x2] Skeletons of Society
Minutes seem like days Corrosion fills the sky Morbid dreams of anarchy Brought judgement in disguise Memories linger in my brain Life with nothing more to gain Perpetual madness remains
Shades of death are all I see Skeletons of society Fragments of what used to be Skeletons of society
8. Temptation
[Kerry King]
Have you ever felt the need To see more than you can see Look into uncertainty Reflections of treachery Would you leave the world behind Endless life is here to find Can I interest you in lies Sell your soul for all it buys
[CHORUS] Play with your insanity Shatter your reality Pulsing in your blood
I can satisfy your greed For now all your debts are free I have all eternity To quench all the death I breed Recreate the rules of play From now things are done my way None have ever won my game Crucified them all in flames
[CHORUS]
Have you ever danced with the devil His temptation ever summoned you Ever penned your name in blood Let possession slowly swallow you When you stand under full moonlight The attraction mesmerizes you Have you ever wondered why It seems that evil you're attracted to
Reach out to my hand Step back in time's sand Genetic wasteland Far beyond death
9. Born Of Fire
[King/Hanneman]
Join in my quest to leave life overturned Spanning the world wave of doom Spewing out death with the evil I've churned Awaken the dead from their tombs Love turns to lust the sensations I've felt Exploring the pleasures of sin Making the best of the cards I've been dealth Adjusting the odds so I win
Unleash all my burning wrath Potential killing machine Take down all who block my path Enjoying all that's obscene... born of fire
Prince of all darkness initiation Ritually baptized in flames Next to the throne my abomination Spreads horror throughout the domain Master the art that controls the impure Inherit the infamous keys Thousands of centuries I will endure Tyrant of all the prophecies
Some have called me Satan's son A name I cannot deny Wielding fury that's second to none Far to vile to confine... born of fire
All things dead must rise again When twilight's blanket falls Splattered red you'll find my den Blood dripping from the walls
Dreams born of desire Shaped and forged within the fire Twisted, warped, deranged I see The world's corrupt insanity
Dreams possess nightmarish figures Burning can't escape the embers Lost are those who trust the Liar Satan's son I'm born of fire
10. Seasons In The Abyss
[Hanneman/Araya]
Razors edge Outlines the dead Incisions in my head Anticipation the stimulation To kill the exhilaration
[CHORUS] Close your eyes Look deep in your soul Step outside yourself And let your mind go Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die
[CHORUS 2] Close your eyes And forget your name Step outside yourself And let your thoughts drain As you go insane... go insane
Innate seed To watch you bleed A demanding physical need Desecrated eviscerated Time perpetuated
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS 2]
Inert flesh A bloody tomb A decorated splatter brightens the room An execution a sadist ritual Mad intervals of mind residuals
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS 2]

Ahhhh Seasons in the abyss......... Je dois dire que même si mon coeur balance entre cet album et Reign in blood, je crois qu'il penche quand même plus vers cet album. Difficile de les comparer quand même, parce que chaque titre de Reign in blood c'est une grosse claque dans la figure, c'est court mais violent!! Pour Seasons in the abyss c'est un peu différent, on s'en prend plein la tête aussi, mais c'est disons plus abouti peut-etre, enfin en tous cas un véritable chef d'oeuvre cet album, assurément une des perles incontestées du thrash metal!! Une seule chose a dire pour résumer: WAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mes préférées seraient quand même War Ensemble, Expendable Youth, Dead Skin Mask et Skeletons of society, mais un pur chef d'oeuvre dans son ensemble.
De toute façon, pour moi il est clair que Slayer est incontestablement le meilleur groupe de thrash de tous les temps! Et quand on entend un album comme Seasons in the abyss, ça ne fait vraiment pas l'ombre d'un doute!
