"... their most underrated ... "
- PopMatters.com
"Four Stars ... having refined themselves to a laserlike focus, South of Heaven introduced tempo shifts that didn't dim the band's considerable power ..."
- Rolling Stone
Slayer had the unenviable task of following up 1986's Reign In Blood, considered among the band's best, however South Of Heaven rose to the challenge and became Slayer's second record to make the Billboard 200 chart and the band's second American gold album. Produced again by Rick Rubin, the material has been called "slightly more mainstream" than Slayer's previous efforts, although no less heavy.
