This may just be the scariest entry to The Hookup’s 31 Scary Tracks of October! Slayer’s Angel Of Death lines up spookiness just on subject matter alone. Based on Josef Mengele experiments during World War II. If you read deeper into these you will then understand just how scary this song is. After reading a book about Mengele, guitarist Jeff Hanneman composed the track on the sick things that he had read.
In 1986, the band’s label Def Jam, withheld the band’s new album Reign In Blood due to the subject matter, eventually releasing it. It is the longest track on the album and set up in a way that is more quote “normal” then most Slayer song structures. The song’s riff has been sampled from everyone like KMFDM to Public Enemy. The song was also featured in Jackass: The Movie which features Scary stunts. Overall if your looking to be scared, any Slayer song will do!
