That’s right new SLAYER album (release date 8/8/06). For any of you out there who don’t give a shit and think that metal is dead FUCK YOU!!. I have been a fan since 1990 Seasons in the Abyss motherfucker. Some critics will say that they peaked in 1986 with Reign in Blood. The album is widely considered as one of the greatest metal albums ever made. This opinion was supported by the band themselves when they embarked on the Still Reigning Tour in 2004. The tour featured the original lineup back together for the first time since 1990. With the return of drummer Dave Lombardo Slayer would play the entire Reign in Blood album. Famously ending the show with the title track with a huge mushroom shaped fountain raining blood down on the band.
Since I am a post 1990 fan, I was fucking 8 when Reign in Blood came out, personally I disagree with the aforementioned “some critics”. Slayer peaked for me in 1998 with Diabolus in Musica. This album feature some of my all time favorite tracks Slayer tracks namely Bitter Peace and Perversions of Pain. Don’t get me wrong there fallow up to that 2001’s God Hates Us All featured some of the best anti-christiam propaganda ever and was no disappointment. Just check out the following lines from the 2nd track Desciple:
Drones since the dawn of time
Compelled to live your sheltered lives
Not once has anyone ever seen
Such a rise of pure hypocracy
I’ll instigate I’ll free your mind
I’ll show you what I’ve known all this time
God Hates Us All, God Hates Us All
You know it’s true God hates this place
You know it’s true he hates this race
I never said I wanted to be God’s disciple
I’ll never be the one to blindly follow
Man made virus infecting the world
Self-destruct human time bomb
What if there is no God would you think the fuckin’ same
Wasting your life in a leap of blind faith
Wake the fuck up can’t ignore what I say
I got my own philosophy
This new album will feature the first new material from the original lineup since Seasons in the Abyss. I have not herd it yet and my download has about 42 minutes left to go at the time of this post. With the title of the album and the cover art I can only speculate that I am in for some very welcome anti-jesus themes lyrics screamed over more dynamic a-typical Slyer progression.
*note this post will be amended with a download link as soon as I have it ready. For those of you who don’t suck at the internet you can go to Kerazy Torrents and download it yourself. Just remember to be courteous to the members and say thanks. It could quite possibly be the best metal forum ever.
