Beyond the Veil of Belief | Cult | Slayer

"Cult" is a song by American thrash metal band Slayer, released on their 1985 album "Reign in Blood". The song's lyrics are often interpreted as a critique of the religious fanaticism that can lead to violent acts.

The song's chorus repeats the phrase "I'm the one who's gonna make you see" several times, which some have seen as a commentary on the tendency of fanatical beliefs to lead people to commit violent acts in the name of their faith. The lyrics also contain references to cults and mass hysteria, with the repeated refrain of "I'm the one who's gonna make you see" suggesting a sense of possession or mind control.

Musically, "Cult" is a fast-paced thrash metal song with aggressive guitar riffs and pounding drum beats. Tom Araya's bass playing adds depth and complexity to the song's rhythm section, while Dave Lombardo's drumming provides a driving force behind the song's energetic pace.

The song has been praised by fans and critics alike for its intense energy and aggressive riffing. It is often included on lists of Slayer's best songs, and is widely regarded as one of the standout tracks from "Reign in Blood".
