"South of Heaven" is the title track and opening song of American thrash metal band Slayer's fourth studio album, released on July 5, 1988.
- Musical Shift: Written by guitarist Tom Araya and guitarist Jeff Hanneman, the song deliberately slowed down the band's tempo after the blistering speed of their 1986 album Reign in Blood.
- Signature Sound: Features a haunting, slow-building intro riff that relies heavily on the "tritone" (the devil's interval) to create a dark, ominous atmosphere.
- Lyrical Themes: Deals with corruption, human decay, and a dystopian vision of Earth turning into a living hell.
- Live Staple: It is one of Slayer's most enduring tracks and was played at almost every live show until their retirement.
