The Extreme Music Enthusiast(@TheExtremeMusi1):The dramatic intro in Slayer's “Seasons in the Abyss” is thanks to Dave Lombardo. He builds tension expertly. Instead of simply keeping the beat, it’s his fills—similar to Bill Ward’s work on “War Pigs”—that gradually lead us to a certain point, at which he starts to groove.
