Editing Reign in Blood (section)

== Composition and music ==
''Reign In Blood'' is a [[thrash metal]] album that contains many [[tempo]] changes and [[Breakdown (music)|breakdowns]]. Eschewing traditional pop and rock song structures, the album's tracks are instead upon transitions between different guitar riffs. Joseph Schafer of ''[[Invisible Oranges]]'' characterized the general format of the albums tracks as "shocking open, memorable end, and a whole lot of velocity in-between." He further explained, "''Reign In Blood'' is a singular record with a singular purpose: [[adrenaline]]. They embodied it, they produced it. These songs increase heart rates. In effect the music sounds simple-to-understand and direct to the point of mathematical elegance."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Schafer |first=Joseph |title=Slayer's 'Reign in Blood' Turns 30 |url=https://www.invisibleoranges.com/slayers-reign-in-blood-turns-30/ |access-date=2025-03-26 |website=Invisible Oranges - The Metal Blog |language=en-US}}</ref>
