REIGN IN BLOOD (R.I.B.), the third full length offering by the mighty and powerful SLAYER, is quintessential Thrash perfection.  It’s so sublime it’s practically one song with 10 distinct movements (…

There was a time when Movie SOUNDTRACKS basically sucked and the only thing that could make them even remotely palatable was the inclusion of a Metal band, really any metal band!  (Obviously NOT Euro…
