Slayer's Reign in Blood (1986) was a landmark thrash metal album
Thrash metal emerged in the early 1980s under the influence of hardcore punk and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal,[73] particularly songs in the revved-up style known as speed metal. The movement began in the United States, with the leading scene in the San Francisco Bay Area. The sound developed by thrash groups was faster and more aggressive than that of the original metal bands and their glam metal successors.[73] Peter Steel of Type O Negative described thrash as a form of "urban blight music" and a palefaced cousin of rap.[74]

The subgenre was popularized by the "Big Four of Thrash": Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer.[75] Three German bands, Kreator, Sodom, and Destruction, played a central role in bringing the style to Europe. Others, including San Francisco's Testament and Exodus, New Jersey's Overkill, and Brazil's Sepultura, also had a significant impact. While thrash began as an underground scene, and remained largely for that for almost a decade, the leading bands in the movement began to reach a wider audience. Metallica brought the sound into the top 40 of the Billboard album chart in 1986 with Master of Puppets; two years later, the band's ...And Justice for All hit number 6, while Megadeth and Anthrax had top 40 records.[76]
Though less commercially successful than the rest of the Big Four, Slayer released one of the genre's definitive records: Reign in Blood (1986) was described by Kerrang! as the "heaviest album of all time."[77] Two decades later, Metal Hammer named it the best album of the preceding twenty years.[78] Slayer attracted a following among far-right skinheads, and accusations of promoting violence and Nazi themes have dogged the band.[79] In the early 1990s, thrash achieved breakout success, challenging and redefining the metal mainstream.[80] Metallica's self-titled 1991 album topped the Billboard chart, Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction (1992) hit number 2, Anthrax and Slayer cracked the top 10, and albums by regional bands such as Testament and Sepultura entered the top 100.
