Leo Slayer is the ever-popular, frizzy-haired, middle-aged Heavy Metal folk singer-songwriter from England. He first had success in the Seventies when he was writing for Black Sabbath and was recommended for a contract by Ozzy Osbourne who regarded Slayer as a genius. His first solo thrash metal single 'You make me feel like Dancing' was a transatlantic hit and won a Grammy - a success that he soon followed up with the classic 'When I need You' with its satanic lyrics, killer guitar solo and shouted vocals.
His 1986 release 'Reign in Blood' has been called "the heaviest album of all time" by Kerrang! However, controversy has followed Slayer with accusations of Nazi sympathies - accusations which he strongly denies.
