How can no one have commented on this one? To me, this is Slayer at their peak. They have slowed down the tempo on this album, but a lot of the songs have a great atmosphere to them. The heaviness has not been decreased either. The title track and "Behind The Crooked Cross" are among the band's best songs.

South of heaven is probably one of best thrash metal album next to Metallica's Kill 'em All and Megadeth's Peace sells. Slayer did the Judas Priest cover fuckin bad ass. Priest would be proud.

Great Thrash Metal album, Uff que decir de este Diamante del Thrash personalmente tambien el mejor de la banda muchos diran que Reign es mejor pero este tiene mas ritmo al compas y no tan desenfrenado como el Reign, la critica y prensa "especializada" dijera en su momento que fue lo peor de la banda jaja me los paso por el huev.. a la prensa especializada ese tipo de temas acompasados se ven en Behind The Crooked Cross, South Of Heaven, Mandatory Suicide, Ghosts Of War 9.5/10 Jewel

Claro que sí, otro clásico del Thrash Metal. soy fan acérrimo de Slayer y para mí este es otra obra de arte. Claro, diferente al Reign In Blood (para mí su obra cumbre) pues este es más limpio y mas técnico. "Mandatory Suicide" TEMAZOOO!! "South Of Heaven" otra joya. Hail Slayerrrr!!! 9.8/10

Classic Slayer album with some songs that made the band huge in its style...not a killing album to me but solid enough to grab anybody's attention..."South Of Heaven" is the best cut in here IMO...some other good moments are tracks 4,5,6 & 7...83/100

The opening riff on the title track, the first thing you hear on the disc, has to be one of the most evil-sounding riffs ever! People were shocked, and some even squawked "Sellout!" because South Of Heaven doesn't have the constant, blazing speed of Reign In Blood. There are definitely moments of it, but Slayer shows how slow thrash can still be deadly in its own way. Overall though, I don't think South Of Heaven is quite as strong as either Reign In Blood or Seasons In The Abyss, but it's still one of the three classic Slayer albums. My favorites: the title track, "Behind The Crooked Cross," "Mandatory Suicide," "Read Between The Lies" and "Spill The Blood."
