Yeah motherfuckers!!! This is pure brutal thrash metal at its most stripped down and violent peak. It moves at about a million m.p.h. and tears you to shreds before you can hope to defend yourself!!!
Anywho, all cheesy thrash metal cliches aside, this song is one of Slayer's fastest and frantic songs. It has more qualities of hardcore punk than of metal. But it's lyrics and the presence of solos make it metal. Also there's a fair amount of skill to the mayhemic riffage, which also keeps it from being punk.
In conclusion, this song is, as the title suggests, about Necrophobia (fear of death), and a person's overrative, paranoid imagination manifesing itself into thoughts of the hideous (and numerous!) ways death could come to him.
