One of the things that attracted me to metal was a moral point made in songs by bands such as Black Sabbath, Metallica, and others, but the thing really disappointing about Slayer is that they just want to sensationalize the dark side for morbid lyrics. "Angel of Death" is a song written about one of the most despicable characters of the 20th century, Dr. Josef Mengele, the "Butcher of Auschwitz" who performed horrific, gruesome experiments on his victims for the "benefit" of the Third Reich. He was actually able to elude Nazi hunters for decades when he was found dead after merely drowning in a shallow pool of water on the coast of Brazil. It makes you want to scream, WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?? One of the worst performers of crimes against humanity, and he escapes the gallows poll.
