The wedding of Adam Schwartz and Katherine P-G took place late last month and had Slayer as soundtrack. As the tradition dictates: religious celebration after a good engagement and reception for the guests with a party.

Since the groom likes good old rock and roll, the wedding ballad got out of hand when the DJ sent Slayer’s “Raining Blood” and the mosh pit was formed.
The classic made thrash metal’s most enthusiastic guests excited, and a mosh pit quickly formed, which eventually involved the bride.
Check out the energy of Slayer inside the wedding, which had no record of injuries:
The song
One of Slayer’s biggest hits, “Raining Blood” was written by Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King. D. X. Ferris said that “when Hanneman wrote the song, he envisioned a scene from a dark street or bloody back alley”, and later went on to say that the song “described a banished soul awakened and hungry for vengeance.”
The second verse was written by King, who “pick up on Hanneman’s title and in his new direction”. The song, along with the rest of Reign in Blood, was recorded in 1986 in Los Angeles, California, with producer Rick Rubin.
Hanneman explained that:
“it’s about a guy who’s in Purgatory ’cause he was cast out of Heaven. He’s waiting for revenge and wants to fuck that place up.”
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
