SLAYER - Angel Of Death [taken by (1986) "Reign In Blood" album] - a song for the holocaust to the concentration camps of Auschwitz, during World War II.
TRIVIA: When the "Reign In Blood" album released, the band faced numerous accusations for racism and Nazi sympathizing due to the lyrics of that song. According to the band such accusations was untrue, as vocalist Tom Araya is of Chilean origin, while drummer Dave Lombardo is of Hispanic ancestry. In addition, the band's producer and close friend Rick Rubin has Jewish ancestry, and the guitarist Kerry King had a guest appearance on the Jewish hip hop group Beastie Boys' song "No Sleep till Brooklyn".
