It's no problem. I'm always willing to share music I have because I believe I'm required to since I leech music off of many people.

Has anyone seen the pictures of Kerry at the library with the Christianity for Dummies books? :lol: I find some of his facial expressions funny.

EDIT: I've heard really good things about you and a Necrophagist solo. I can't remember which one. How long have you been playing and how old are you?

[Crysiss]

Rock On Garth.

My friend was talking about that tour. Im gonna have to look into it and see if they're comin around my way

[Bazarov]

I'm hoping that because this tour is only about a month long, that they'll release their album after the tour, and then tour again. That'd be awesome.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

They ****ing better come here.

[blue3]

I'm sure they won't.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

[Mr. Night V2.0]

He'll see Slayer, goddammit. They'll play Austrailia, of course. Maybe not now, but in the future. It's stupid to think they wouldn't go there.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Apparently Unholy Alliance will be coming here.

[SimonCore]

Yeah they are DEFINETLY coming to Europe and they're doinbg dates in Austrailia and Japan etc.

[Stoo]

Yeah they are DEFINETLY coming to Europe and they're doinbg dates in Austrailia and Japan etc.
When?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

When they're done going through North America I assume.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

No real reason, just making sure :)

[Stoo]

:)

Oh, I forgot to thank Butcher for that Dark Angel album.



Thanks Butcher.

:smoke:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Was the album Darkness Descends? It's a pretty good one.

[Rattlehead]

Apocalyptic Raids! i know this isn't the right place to ask, but who are Obituary and what are they like?? and to make it relevant... are they anything like Slayer?

[Mother]

They are a death metal from florida .. not like slayer. But give it a listen if you can they are one of my favorite bands.

[Rattlehead]

nice one. will do. album to get?

[Mother]

They are most well know for Cause of death...

[Stoo]

Was the album Darkness Descends? It's a pretty good one.
Yeah it was. I'm a tool I thought it was Slayer at first. :upset:

[Apocalyptic Raids]

haha.

Slayer influenced them. Gene Hoglan (DA's drummer) was their roadie in '83-'84. He is one of the people doing the gang vocals on Evil Has No Boundaries.

[Stoo]

haha.

**** aye. Had me fooled for months.

Same kind of riffs, drums. Just Slayer-like in general.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Yeah. Dark Angel are faster though :p

[SimonCore]

God, i dunno how many times i've said in this thread that Slayer have said they are coming to europe but not exactly when. Tom Araya said sometime in 'the fall'.

[Neamhtrocaireach]

The only reason i would go to Unholy Alliance would be to see Lamb Of God.

[Stoo]

The only reason i would go to Unholy Alliance would be to see Lamb Of God.
That's a nice way to bump the SLAYER thread. :p

[Neamhtrocaireach]

Yeah..... lol. Trying to cause some damn conversation.

[Bazarov]

Yeah. Dark Angel are faster though :p
Necrophobic >>>>>>>> The Burning of Sodom.

Not really, I like that song a lot more than Necrophobic.

For the most part, Slayer have finished recording tracks for their as-yet-untitled new album due out in the second half of 2006, and will begin the mixing process this week. This album is the first new studio album since 1990's "Seasons In The Abyss" that features the entire original Slayer lineup (drummer Lombardo left the band in 1992 and rejoined in early 2002). Rick Rubin, who helped solidify the much-emulated Slayer sound beginning with their genre-defining 1986 classic "Reign In Blood", is executive-producing, and Josh Abraham is producing. Working songtitles include "Catalyst", "Cult", "Supremist", and "Consfearacy".
From Slayersaves.com

Consfearacy.... sounds like a Kerry King song. =/ Not a cool song title rreally. But, Supremist and Jihad sound like they might hold up.

You can say that about any band.

[Crysiss]

I disagree.

[lightningmetal666]

What's up guys?!

I havent been listening to slayer as of late but I really want to see the Unholy Alliance tour. What a badass lineup!
I've been wanting to see Slayer LOG and COB forever.

What's the latest info on the new album so far?

[Stoo]

I uno, go to the site?

:smoke:

[Bazarov]

Newest info, is they've finished the songs and are mixing them I guess. The album title and release date are still a mystery. I haven't seen you on the forum for about a month. What's been up?

[Stoo]

Oh yeah, I read somwhere they had finished the songs. Was it in this thread I saw that? Hmm. Confused.

EDIT:

Yeah, it was lol bout 10 posts up from this one.

:smoke:

[superflyjojo]

I think I'm going to keep my expectations low for the album, so no matter what I won't be disappointed. I hated Diabolus and GHUA was only ok. Maybe this album will beat my expectations.

[Bazarov]

:lol: @ your icon. Yeah, my expectations are low still though.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

My expectations are also low.

[Bazarov]

well this has been released:
The last time speed-metallers Slayer released an album's worth of new material, it came in the form of God Hates Us All and arrived on shelves the morning of September 11, 2001.

So bass-wielding frontman Tom Araya understandably feels some apprehension about Slayer's forthcoming, still-untitled disc, which they're still working on in Los Angeles with producer Josh Abraham (Staind, Velvet Revolver). The finished product will be preceded by a digital release on June 6 (making Slayer one of several metal bands who just can't pass up the opportunity for a 6/6/06 release date).

"I'm hoping that whenever it comes out, nothing major happens," Araya said. "It's like, 'I wonder what's going to happen this time around?' "

The CD should surface in late July, he said, and feature the tracks "Cult," "Catalyst," "Catatonic" and "Jihad." At this stage, seven weeks into recording, five of the album's 11 tracks are finished and about to be put through the mixing process. Slayer still need to put the finishing touches on the remaining songs, but Araya expects the band will be finished with everything in the next week or so.

"This album is actually like a culmination of everything we've done," Araya said. "There's one song that I'm thinking will surprise everybody, because of the song itself. I'm not going to say why, because you have to keep that element of surprise, dude. Musically, it's going to blow everybody away. It's going to trip everyone out. It has all the elements of everything we've done. No one's going to be disappointed with this record. It's fast, heavy — maybe faster than anything we've done before. It's going to be brutal. It's what everyone expects from a Slayer record."

A track called "Eyes of the Insane," Araya said, is perhaps the most political song on the album. The song was inspired by an article he'd read in an issue of Texas Monthly magazine.

"The song's about the effects of war on some of these soldiers," he said. "This article — and it was a pretty trippy article — it really affected me. The entire magazine was devoted to soldiers of this new Iraq conflict that's going on. The effect that the war has had on some of these kids who're coming home and having a tough time dealing with what they've seen — I mean, some of these kids are traumatized and mentally destroyed by what they've seen. The magazine also ran an entire list of the soldiers from Texas who've died. It was several pages with pictures of these kids. It blew my mind."

The rest of the album's lyricism is standard Slayer fare: "Hate, religion — that kind of stuff," Araya said.

This summer, Slayer will preview new material on the road as part of their closing set on each night of the Unholy Alliance Tour. The run kicks off June 6 in San Diego and wraps up July 22 in Long Beach, California. Treks in Europe, Japan, Australia and South America will follow.

"For the heavier crowd, you're definitely going to get your money's worth [from this tour]," Araya said.

So anyway, I think Haunting the Chapel are now my favoirite Slayer lyrics. And I've noticed how Chapel of Ghouls by Morbid Angel has similar lyrics to Slayer's Haunting the Chapel and Necrophiliac.

[Thor]

/is seeing Slayer in Atlanta on June 25

anyone else going to that show, or any other Unholy Alliance show?

[Bazarov]

I'm seeing them on 06/06/06. :cool: I would like to see them on their last date as well.

[SimonCore]

Yeah so that's definite proof it is coming to Europe. When though?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Around the end of the year probably.

[SimonCore]

^Bah. Why can't it be in the summer! Then i won't have to look forwards to the summer coming to an end!

[Thor]

I'm seeing them on 06/06/06. :cool: I would like to see them on their last date as well.
That's also when they're releasing the new album! :thumb:

I'm pretty excited about it, but I hope they bring their game up a notch because I wasn't too impressed with God Hates Us All.

[Crysiss]

That's also when they're releasing the new album! :thumb:

Thats awesome haha. I wasnt to impressed with that album as well. It was ok but it wasnt great.

[Thor]

I mean, GHUA was just as generic as metal can get. Generic riffing, generic lyrics, generic everything.

[Nostalgia]

GHUA I didn't even buy. I listened to one of the songs on MTV once, I believe it was blood line, and I thought the vocals were terrible. Tom's voice was too distorted. It sounded terrible, in my opinion.

[Thor]

Yeah, stay away from that album if you can. It's a bad representation of the band.

They need to make another album like South of Heaven and I will be very pleased. I'm really getting into that album more and more these days.

[heavy metal kid]

I'm seeing them on 06/06/06. :cool: I would like to see them on their last date as well.

Same, first show :thumb: .

So the closing act will be brand new, gonna be one of the lucky ones to hear it first.

[Thor]

Same, first show :thumb: .

Lucky for you guys. Seeing them is good enough for me.

This will be the best metal concert to have been formed in YEARS.

[heavy metal kid]

i'm just looking forward Slayer and Mastodon, i don't like Cob and LoG too much and i have never heard the other band.

[Thor]

i'm just looking forward Slayer and Mastodon, i don't like Cob and LoG too much and i have never heard the other band.
I love love love every band on the tour (except Thine Eyes Bleed, but they're not going to be on for very long). I've actually never heard them before. Anyone care to tell me what they are like?

[Bazarov]

Mastodon yeah, they're better than most of the "mainstream" metal bands that are out right now. They have some songs I like. And I'm not really a fan of CoB or LoG.

I just listened to a song called Cold Victim by Thine Eyes Bleed. I was hoping that maybe since Tom's brother is in the band there woulb some Slayer influences maybe? No, it was some HxC Terror, As I Lay Dying stuff. :( I hear his brother used to be in an old school Death metal band called Blood Cum.

[Thor]

Blood Cum? :lol:

So basically the Unholy Alliance tour is making themselves worse by tagging along a metalcore band?

[Crysiss]

Mastodon yeah, they're better than most of the "mainstream" metal bands that are out right now. They have some songs I like. And I'm not really a fan of CoB or LoG.

I didnt know that it was toms brother in that band:)

[Thor]

I didnt know that it was toms brother in that band:)
Neither did I. It's probably the only reason why they're on the tour.

[Crysiss]

Well, They're an alright band as well. Need something to go with the LoG.

[superflyjojo]

I heard some of Thine Eyes Bleed, and I thought that they sounded more like melo-death. Either way I don't care much about the other bands, it's all about Slayer.

[blue3]

I heard some of Thine Eyes Bleed, and I thought that they sounded more like melo-death. Either way I don't care much about the other bands, it's all about Slayer.and Bodom..

[superflyjojo]

and Bodom..

Yeah, you're right. Besides Thine Eyes Bleed, Bodom is the only band I haven't seen that is playing on this tour. I missed a chance to see them earlier this year, but I'm looking foward to seeing them on June 16 in NJ! :thumb:

[blue3]

I'm seeing them in July. I have to wait so long.

[Nostalgia]

Though I haven't see them, I've heard they're worth the wait.

[SimonCore]

Your lucky you only hav to wait until July! I have to wait until October or soemthing stupid:angry:

[Bazarov]

Guess who just got 3 Slayer demos.... yeah... I did. :-D :cool:x666

Def Jam Demo
Escape from the Studio demo
Reign in Blood demo

I'm looking to get the Jeff's Home Recording Demos... according to the review on M-A, it has Jeff singing some tracks, I definitely want to hear that.

[Poofy 666]

Nice grab man! Where did you get them?

[Bazarov]

slayersaves.com on their bootleg and trades section. This guy has so many demos and bootlegs of so many bands.

[Nostalgia]

Damn it. I want to go to the concert. So what if It's my Brother's anniversary.

Slayer>wife

[Bazarov]

Seriously. Slayer concerts should be first priority over most family events.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I'm looking to get the Jeff's Home Recording Demos... according to the review on M-A, it has Jeff singing some tracks, I definitely want to hear that.
I've heard the Raining Blood demo, and it's just him jamming on some riffs. Most of the riffs didn't end up on any songs if I remember correctly.

Oh, and Jeff's vocals are just random **** he's saying while playing, nothing proper from what I remember haha.

[Thor]

Seriously. Slayer concerts should be first priority over most family events.
They probably should be. Family events can wait. Slayer waits for no one.

[SimonCore]

Here's the latest news: Songs about God and Satan Part 1: An Interview with Slayer's Kerry King - April 25th, 2006
Peter Atkinson of Knac.com recently conducted an interview with Slayer guitarist Kerry King. A few excerpts from the chat follow:

Knac.com: I read this morning that you'd just finished the actual recording?

King: "Pretty much. We're probably 70-75 percent done. Most of the basic recording's been finished, we just have to put the leads done, work out some of the lyrics and vocals and probably do a little fix-it work. We've done all the heavy lifting, I guess you could say."

Knac.com: How's it gone so far?

King: "Pretty good. We usually come in pretty well prepared, and we know what we wanna do, which is make a Slayer album! So there's not a lot of sitting around trying to figure out what the ****' going on. We usually go in and just hammer it out. By the time it's mixed, we'll probably be looking about a two months on the studio, which is pretty quick in this day and age."

Knac.com: As opposed to Metallica, who's probably going to be taking up a lot of [producer and label head] Rick Rubin's time over the next year or two.

King: "That's just a waste of time, (laughs). I don't know why anybody does that. I don't know how much of that kinda **** Rubin will put up with, but guess we'll see."

Knac.com: If that psychiatrist enters the picture again...

King: "(Laughs) That's what rehearsals are for. You work out your **** there — at least that's what we do. You're already paying that monthly rent, why try to work it out in the studio when you're paying by the day. They probably don't have to worry about **** like that, as many albums as they sell, but we do. Rubin's worked with some pretty 'unique' personalities [Johnny Cash, Beastie Boys, Slipknot, Neil Diamond] over the years, so I'm sure he's up to the challenge, but he's probably gonna have his hands full with them."

Knac.com: That was my next question. As far as the Slayer pantheon goes, would you say it's more like a "God Hates Us All"/"Seasons" kind of record or a "South Of Heaven"/"Diabulos" record?

King: "I think it's definitely got more 'God Hates' flavor to it. But I said before we even started recording what I thought it was going to sound like, which was a mix between 'God Hates' and 'Seasons', because this is the first time Dave's [Lombardo] recorded with us since 'Seasons'. And that's probably right about where it is."

Knac.com: What's the big difference between recording with Paul [Bostaph] on drums and recording with Dave?

King: "With Dave, he was the one who was there in the beginning, he created this with us. And now that he's back, it's really cool. He's still really into the music. It flows really good and when he goes into the recording you never know what he's gonna play. We'll hear it and we'll be like 'Well, goddamn! Dave's making **** up again.' (Laughs)"

Knac.com: The main songwriting duties seem to slingshot back and forth between you and Jeff [Hanneman]. Is this more of a Jeff album, or a Kerry album?

King: "I think I did most of 'Divine', Jeff did most of 'Diabulos', I did most of 'God Hates' and I think I did most of this one, too. But Tom and Jeff definitely wrote for this one too, just like with the others that I wrote the majority for."

Knac.com: How does that work, is it whoever comes up with the most stuff or the best stuff or is it just who is more inspired to write?

King: "That's probably it. It's not who comes up with the most or the best because we pretty much write for the record. There's no extra songs this time. I've got ideas I haven't finished and Jeff and Tom have some ideas they haven't finished, but when we get one we feel is done, we just present it and start learning it. If a riff don't fly it gets taken out before anyone gets too attached to it (laughs).

"Me and Jeff have been doing this for a long time and if he says that riff's not gonna be happening, nine times out of 10 we'll change it by the end of the week. Or if I think it's really gonna be cool, I'll like wait, wait, wait, I've got some lyrics that really go with it, just bear me out, and usually he comes around. That happened a lot on the last album. So there is a lot of back and forth no matter who's actually putting the songs together."

Knac.com: How many songs will be on the new album?

King: "As far as I know, there's gonna be 11, because that's how many we wrote. And that's worldwide. Usually we have a couple leftover for the foreign markets, but this time I don't think we're going to do anything extra, even cover songs, because we've already torn down the drums, we've changed studios, we're working on stitching everything together, so we'd be hard pressed to do anything else."

I bet's it a replica. :p

[Huber]

It's from the guy that made a thread about it on here. He had like 700 albums posted, most with pictures. That and it clearly says it isn't a replica in the description, so it'd be highly illegal.

[SimonCore]

I was joking ftr

[Nostalgia]

Is it signed by all of the band?

[SimonCore]

I have a picture of God forbid signed by every member of the band.

[Inpropagation]

I have a picture of God forbid signed by every member of the band.

That's not something to be proud of.

[SimonCore]

^Yes it is. Opinionism though i guess ;)

[Nostalgia]

Just bought Show No Mercy. Great album. Anti-Christ is such an awesome song.

[Bazarov]

WHAT!? After my months of whoring that album and that song in this thread, you just now get it?

Tsk tsk.

[Shady Ultima]

I love Slayer, but I've never got that album. I only have 6 Slayer cds.
Live Undead
Reign in Blood
South of Heaven
Seasons in the Abyss
Divine Intervention
God Hates us All

[Nostalgia]

WHAT!? After my months of whoring that album and that song in this thread, you just now get it?

Tsk tsk.
Yeah, I'll go plan on gettng another Slayer album then get caught buying something else. Doesn't Jeff look like a total douche bag on the front cover? when he's got the cross? Haha.

Tom's voice sounds really punky on Anti-Christ.

[Rattlehead]

i dont like punk at all. i like toms punky vocals though. Undisputed Attitude FTW.

[Nostalgia]

I hate undisputed attitude, sadly.

[Bazarov]

Yeah, I'll go plan on gettng another Slayer album then get caught buying something else. Doesn't Jeff look like a total douche bag on the front cover? when he's got the cross? Haha.

I don't care for that album, but I do like Ddamm

[SimonCore]

Undisputed album is possibly better than DIM.

[Rattlehead]

i suppose the only reason i dont mind the punkiness of UA is because is so layered up with Slayer's sounds. i actually really like Richard Hung Himself.

[SimonCore]

Thrash metal sounds abit punky anyway.

[Happy]

Thrash Metal is basically Metal with Punk elements.

Or so I'm told.

Huber: how much is that RIB costing you?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Thrash has a hardcore punk edge to it for sure, some bands more than others though.

[SimonCore]

I think Seasons has the most punky feel to it. And 'Show no mercy'.

[Rattlehead]

yeah, thrash is punk-tinged, and the lyrics are often much darker.

[Nostalgia]

Why the hell are Slayer always called "Death metal" just because they have dark lyrics doesn't mean they even come close to DM.

[Bazarov]

I don't know either really, I've always considered them thrash, which is what they are.

[Crysiss]

Why the hell are Slayer always called "Death metal" just because they have dark lyrics doesn't mean they even come close to DM.

:lol:

I often think that at times. Maybe they're Dark Thrash:p

i just got six hit parader magz and on one of the top 10 lists SLAYER was number ONE under top 10 BLACK METAL BANDS!!!!! WTF!?!?!

[Bazarov]

Dude, Slayer invented black metal. They should be. :p

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

but they are considered thrash. but no way slayer is death metal. you dont see tom growling super deep. but their lyrics are pretty death-like. i would consider them as 10% death and the other 90% as thrash

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Hell Awaits has some proto-death riffs.

[Bazarov]

I was joking. I do not think that Slayer invented black metal at all..... :-|

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

meh, but i still dont see how they would be black. nothing about them seems like it. it would be weird to see how they invented black metal (if thats true) yet just about every black metal band, or all, are from places around europe. didnt black start because of the burning churches in norway?

[HAIL TRUE METAL]

I was joking. I do not think that Slayer invented black metal at all..... :-|
then dont pay attention to my post above!!!^^^

[Bazarov]

:lol: Too late!

Slayersaves has changed their site around....

I wonder if this guy in the SSforum has uploaded more Slayer bootlegs? Time to check.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Man I downloaded all that Ripping Corpse from that thread and he says all demos and one of them is just a folder with the cover art :mad:

[Nostalgia]

People get them confused with death metal because of their lyrics. Dm has a reputation for having some sort of vile lyrics. Slayer, indeed, has that. But it's more the fact of their riffs, thrashing, heavy, distorted, and "gut-busting". The fact they're considered DM is just a common misconseption. They're purely thrash, with a lot of punk influences.

Undisputed attitude wasn't a good album, I think. The only good purpose it served was showing the punk roots in thrash metal. Tom doesn't really have a punk-oriented voice past RIB. Their riffs and Dave's beats is really what makes the band what they are.

[Bazarov]

Man I downloaded all that Ripping Corpse from that thread and he says all demos and one of them is just a folder with the cover art :mad:
That sucks...

[Nostalgia]

What is that weird kind of spiky thing Kerry always has on his wrist. I've seen it tons but never realized what it was.

[Bazarov]

it's just like a guantlet thing that he wears with spikes on it... I don't know the exact name.

What I want to know is what's up with Jeff and his catcher leg pad thing he wears? I've always thought it was odd.

[Nostalgia]

This thread needs a good bumping.

I don't know what that thing is. How long has he been wearing it?

[Kyle]

I've never really listened to them at length, but they are playing Reading Festival, and I'm chuffed about seeing them.

[Bazarov]

So I guess these are the songtitles for the new album:

Catalyst
Cult
Supremist
Consfearacy
Jihad
Eyes of the insane
Flesh Storm
Catatonic
Black Serenade

Consfearacy sounds like it's going to be really really really lame... at least lyrically.

Yeah, I have to admit that I laughed pretty hard upon reading that title. Jihad might also a bit questionable on the lyric department.

Where did you get these titles from, might I ask?

[Bazarov]

Just a thread on the SSforums.... the guy didn't provide a link, I wish he would have.

[SimonCore]

Why the hell are Slayer always called "Death metal" just because they have dark lyrics doesn't mean they even come close to DM.

they're Death speed metal.

[Nostalgia]

they're Death speed metal.
Dude...Slayer is not speed metal, they're thrash metal. Just because they have fast riffs does NOT label them "Speed" They're purely a thrash band. Not death metal at all.

[SimonCore]

Dude...Slayer is not speed metal, they're thrash metal. Just because they have fast riffs does NOT label them "Speed" They're purely a thrash band. Not death metal at all.

They said themselves they're death speed metal. But i just say they're Thrash.

[Nostalgia]

I don't know where they would get that conclusion. They have major elements of thrash and punk. Jeff grew up on punk, that influenced the band tons, trust me.

[Rattlehead]

Dude...Slayer is not speed metal, they're thrash metal. Just because they have fast riffs does NOT label them "Speed" They're purely a thrash band. Not death metal at all.
i know they aren't daeth, thats for sure. what labels a band speed metal then?

[Nostalgia]

It's a misconseption. Just because their riffs are fast and agressive, along with drums, they should be called "Speed Metal" they're a thrash band, simple as that.

They have too many punk roots to be called speed metal. Speed is really too vauge of a genre.

[SimonCore]

I always thought Speed metal was just another word for thrash.

[Nostalgia]

I'm guessing that's it. Because you really can't label them a band that because it's a little stupid. Every band will have fast and agressive riffs. (Excluding some genres)

[SimonCore]

Tbh i very rarely hear the term being used.

[Bazarov]

I've seen interviews on, I think it was from GetThrashed, and they were talking to some guitarist, I forget which band.. :lol: Man, my memory sucks. But he said back in the early years thrash was just called "Speed Metal". Also about them being called death metal... some thrash bands back then were called death metal back then, such as, Sepultura and Morbid Saint.

But yes, they are just pure thrash metal. Or well, they were.

It's King's signature model when he was sponsored by ESP for a while.

I like his ESP Abyss (Season in the Abyss video) model a lot better paint job wise.

I don't remember what really much of that video besides that they're like in Egypt... I'll have to watch it.

Get any of the first five. Preferably Hell Awaits and Show No Mercy.

Seasons is a pretty good album. If you like South of heaven, then you'll like Seasons. It has Dead skin mask which is a really great song. War ensemble is good also.

You have to get SOH. It's too important of an album to pass by. Just because it's not as heavy as RIB or Hell Awaits, it's still showing the other side of Slayer. It's showing they can be melodic, show a slower tempo, and they can still be really heavy.

GHUA I wouldn't even touch.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah, I like Die By The Sword. I haven't really heard Chemical Warfare though. What's the meaning of the song?

I found this on Slayer saves, it's talking how their new album could be their fastest yet. We'll see.


The last time speed-metallers Slayer released an album's worth of new material, it came in the form of God Hates Us All and arrived on shelves the morning of September 11, 2001.

So bass-wielding frontman Tom Araya understandably feels some apprehension about Slayer's forthcoming, still-untitled disc, which they're still working on in Los Angeles with producer Josh Abraham (Staind, Velvet Revolver). The finished product will be preceded by a digital release on June 6 (making Slayer one of several metal bands who just can't pass up the opportunity for a 6/6/06 release date).

"I'm hoping that whenever it comes out, nothing major happens," Araya said. "It's like, 'I wonder what's going to happen this time around?' "

The CD should surface in late July, he said, and feature the tracks "Cult," "Catalyst," "Catatonic" and "Jihad." At this stage, seven weeks into recording, five of the album's 11 tracks are finished and about to be put through the mixing process. Slayer still need to put the finishing touches on the remaining songs, but Araya expects the band will be finished with everything in the next week or so.

"This album is actually like a culmination of everything we've done," Araya said. "There's one song that I'm thinking will surprise everybody, because of the song itself. I'm not going to say why, because you have to keep that element of surprise, dude. Musically, it's going to blow everybody away. It's going to trip everyone out. It has all the elements of everything we've done. No one's going to be disappointed with this record. It's fast, heavy - maybe faster than anything we've done before. It's going to be brutal. It's what everyone expects from a Slayer record."

A track called "Eyes of the Insane," Araya said, is perhaps the most political song on the album. The song was inspired by an article he'd read in an issue of Texas Monthly magazine.

"The song's about the effects of war on some of these soldiers," he said. "This article - and it was a pretty trippy article - it really affected me. The entire magazine was devoted to soldiers of this new Iraq conflict that's going on. The effect that the war has had on some of these kids who're coming home and having a tough time dealing with what they've seen - I mean, some of these kids are traumatized and mentally destroyed by what they've seen. The magazine also ran an entire list of the soldiers from Texas who've died. It was several pages with pictures of these kids. It blew my mind."

The rest of the album's lyricism is standard Slayer fare: "Hate, religion - that kind of stuff," Araya said.

This summer, Slayer will preview new material on the road as part of their closing set on each night of the Unholy Alliance Tour. The run kicks off June 6 in San Diego and wraps up July 22 in Long Beach, California. Treks in Europe, Japan, Australia and South America will follow.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's fast, heavy - maybe faster than anything we've done before.
Let the hype begin...

and SS, you haven't heard Chemical Warfare before?!? :eek:

[Nostalgia]

Nah, I haven't. I never picked up Haunting the Chapel so I don't know too many songs on there. Since people are saying it's good, I'll for sure go listen to it.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Haunting The Chapel is probably their 3rd best.

[The Masked Guitarist]

i got hell awaits its oookkkk but reign in blood is soooo much better but HA is better than GHUA so good buy i guess

[Stoo]

What album's Chemical Warfare and Haunting The Chapel on?

[The Masked Guitarist]

both on haunting the chapel ep

Ugh Dang.

Haunting the Chapel was a CD. It's not just a song title. There isn't a lot of tracks on in. Four or 5 I think.

I think it's just too hard to choose only 5 top slayer songs. And Mandatory Suicide > Silent Scream.

I never liked Mandatory Suicide much, cool title though.

four.
Three, actually. Aggressive Perfector is a bonus track on the re-releases.

[Rattlehead]

so it's four.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

so it's four.
but Aggressive Perfector wasn't part of the original release, so it doesn't count.

Mandatory Suicide is easily one of my favourite Slayer songs. Abit short though, and they could have done more of the song instead of that wierd bit at the end.

so I was up really late last night and saw Vh1's top 40 Metal Songs... it was rather dissapointing, Slayer was in the teens with Raining Blood which was rather cool, but GnR's Welcome to the Jungle was placed at number 2. WTF?

[Thor]

Actually I'd like to get the entire album, if that's at all possible.

...and GnR isn't metal, wtf?

[Bazarov]

Yeah, I guess I can send you the album. Just post your email.

[Nostalgia]

VH1 Is garbage for Metal. They think the heaviest metal band is like Poison or Alice Cooper.

[Bazarov]

True.. hahaha Eddie Trunk came on and said something along the lines of we're continuing our countdown of brutal metal, and the next song was Rock You Like A Hurricane.

There was a healthy mix of thrash and heavy metal in there, but man when Korn, and System of A Down songs are placed at like 12 and 23 and stuff, it just ruins it. Sepultura was placed in there, it was surprising.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah, VH1 focuses more on like...The 80's metal. I don't know why they choose to, but they do.

They have some heavy bands; nothing too big though.

[Bazarov]

One thing I thought was odd, is that I remember once while watching Metal Mania, Eddie and Dee Snyder (I think it was Dee) were basically talking about how they don't like nu-metal bands.... but then Eddie owns VH1 so why would he even allow SOAD, Marylin Manson, and Korn to be on that list?

NP: Slayer - DDAMM

[Thor]

VH1 Is garbage for Metal. They think the heaviest metal band is like Poison or Alice Cooper.
Well they actually said that Slayer was the heaviest band out there.

[FatalEnergy]

The completely ignore Death metal, but they seemed to acknowledge that mallcore/nu-metal bullcrap. I didn't understand it. It's way too commercial, but entertaining nonetheless

[Bazarov]

It's odd yeah. I have this jaegertour magazine, and in there both Tom and Kerry are promoting Hatebreed and Killswitch... ew. And Kerry needs to stop his obsession with Slipknot.

For some reason, I think this new album is going to be better than GHUA, but still not really a good album.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

For some reason, I think this new album is going to be better than GHUA, but still not really a good album.
Yeah, that's what I think.

I think now Tom has said it's fast, everyone expects it to be really good.

[AA-12]

From the new Guitar World article, it looks to be good. If anyone wants i'll scan it tomorrow.

[Bazarov]

Yeah, that'd be cool.
