Following its success in Germany, the German-language version became a #13 hit on the popular charts in the United States and earned both artists a Gold Record. An English version, One More Sunrise, sung by Leslie Uggams, reached #98 on the same charts. It has also been performed by many other artists.

Robić was very active in recording for Germany's Polydor label, selling millions of albums and singles. He performed and collaborated with well-known artists such as Kaempfert, Freddy Quinn, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra.

His other international hits are Muli-Song (1960), Mit 17 fängt das Leben erst an (1960), Ein ganzes Leben lang (1962), Rot ist der Wein (1966), and Ich zeig' dir den Sonnenschein (1971). Less known is the fact that he was the writer of the song that later became famous as - Strangers in the Night.

However, after the tour was over, Lombardo came back and asked to rejoin Slayer. In his own country, the most memorable of his many songs might be Vraćam se Zagrebe tebi (Coming Back to You, My Zagreb), Ta tvoja ruka mala (That Little Hand of Yours), and Tiho plove moje čežnje (Silent Sail of My Yearnings).

Undisputed Attitude (1994) found Slayer reaffirming their love for hardcore punk, covering songs by Minor Threat, T.S.O.L., D.R.I. Many later critics have praised the album, however, as demonstrating Slayer's desire to grow musically and avoid repeating themselves.

South of Heaven disappointed some fans by slowing down the tempos a bit and adding touches like acoustic guitars. The powerful Reign In Blood, however, has been called an "undisputed masterpiece" and has been credited with "almost single-handedly inspired the entire death metal genre (at least on the American side of the Atlantic)" while never "crossing the line into self-parodic overkill."[1] (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:7wjqoa9abijb~T1)Kerrang! described Reign as "the heaviest album of all time".

Though Slayer never used the low "grunt" vocal style usually associated with death metal, their music — most notably on the albums Hell Awaits (1985) and Reign in Blood (1986) — can be regarded, musically, as proto-death metal and black metal. Their lyrics and album art content (such as violence, serial killers, warfare and Satan) have occasionally generated strong criticism. Slayer have found moderate success, and are known for their devoted cult following. Slayer were great fans of hardcore punk, and borrowed some of that music's emphasis on extremely fast tempos in many of their songs.
