Slayer's Jeff Hanneman: We Read A Lot From The SATANIC Bible!

From an archived 1987 interview with NME, we check out what Slayer's Jeff Hanneman said when being asked: So Jeff, what attracts Slayer to Satanism? "It provides such extreme lyrics, all that anarchic violence, ripping people apart. We were kinda serious about it when we started, but now it's old hat." What were you serious about? "We read a lot from the Satanic bible. It's not quite the opposite of the normal bible – a lot of its principles are just about being yourself, if you want to do something you do it, if you wanna have affairs you can. But we never hold daily rituals or anything." Slayer are not into Christianity in a big way, but all that talk of "red books" and worshipping Satan sounds pretty religious to me. Isn't Satanism the same old crap in reverse? "Yes, it's the same thing, you can get caught up in it just like any religion. What we're attacking, in a roundabout way, is the Christian TV conmen. It's unbelievable, the amount of money stolen in the name of Jesus." There are good commercial reasons why the media and the metal industry stay way clear of Satanism, but bands like Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax just think it's ridiculous. "Well, a lot of it is quite ridiculous, but you don't think of it as a pose, it's just something to write about which is way over the top, and is an easy way of offending people."
