Jeff Hanneman

Jeff Hanneman (born January 31, 1964, Oakland, California USA) is best known as a guitarist of the thrash metal band Slayer and as the primary author of Slayer's classic song Angel of Death: arguably one of the most famous thrash metal songs in existence. Hanneman also wrote the music for many of Slayer's classic songs such as 'South of Heaven', 'War Ensemble' and 'Seasons in the Abyss'. Slayer's later albums became dominated by Hanneman's song-writing, forming a music/lyrics writing partnership with Tom Araya, which can sometimes over-shadow the creative input of Kerry King into the band.
