They played it back a few times. Rubin and Hanneman gave Araya a collective mnebb and started talking amongst themselves. Araya decided it was the right idea, wrong execution; he could do better.

"Tell you what," said Araya. "Let's try it again."

And take two is the unforgettable scream that launches the album.

Hanneman and Rubin heard the shriek and started highflying each other like two linebackers who just watched a kicker make a last-second field-goal for the win. They tried a few more takes, but the scream had been screamed on the second take.

"It was a magic moment," says Araya. "As soon as I did it, they knew, and I knew, too: This is what it is, this is what it needed. I went for it."

Rubin's eyes would light up when the band nailed a moment, but you had to look closely-they were usually lit up. Whether the band were hitting a groove or a reckless speed run, the producer would nod his head and lean back and forth, feeling the vibe. And when it was really good, he'd let them know, in a rich, mild voice: "Yeah, that's good. I like that."

The beginning of the album's end required some faith and infernal inspiration. One of the Reign's most electrifying moments faced some resistance.

On the album, "Raining Blood" opens with the sound of rain, followed by squealing guitars that sound like a mix of screaming souls and whalesong, interrupted by a rapid succession of three echoing blows. Unlike the "Angel of Death" scream, Hanneman had planned this flourish. And unlike the renowned howl, it didn't sound so cool. Tom hated the drum intro as it appeared on Hanneman's tape.
