In the original lineup, King, Hanneman and Araya contributed to the band's lyrics, and all of the band's music was written by King and Hanneman. The band's lyrics and album art, which cover topics such as serial killers, torture, genocide, organized crime, secret societies, occultism, terrorism, religion or antireligion, fascism, racism and war, have generated album bans, delays, lawsuits and criticism from religious groups. However, its music has been highly influential, being cited by many bands as an influence musically, visually and lyrically; the band's third album, Reign in Blood (1986), has been described as one of the heaviest and most influential thrash metal albums.
Slayer released twelve studio albums, three live albums, a box set, six music videos, two extended plays and a cover album. Four of the band's studio albums have received gold certification in the United States. Slayer sold 5 million copies in the United States from 1991 to 2013, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and over 20 million worldwide. The band has received five Grammy Award nominations, winning one in 2007 for the song "Eyes of the Insane" and one in 2008 for the song "Final Six", both of which were from the album Christ Illusion (2006). After more than three decades of recording and performing, Slayer announced in January 2018 that it would embark on a farewell tour, which took place from May 2018 to November 2019, after which the band disbanded.

I Hate You
Slayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They way you look
Makes my stomach turn
The way you think
Is no way at all
God you really think you have balls
Ain't it true
I hate you
And everything you do
You walk around like a fucking dick
And every time you're near
You know I get real sick
You're so stupid
There's nothing in your head
God how I wish that you were dead
I hate you
Ain't it true
I hate you
And everything you do
You were just a waste of sperm
They way you look
Makes my stomach turn
The way you think
Is no way at all
