Slayer

[FatalEnergy]

Heaviest....hmmm...I'd say At Dawn they Sleep

[SimonCore]

^No way. Thrash wise, it's AoD, ditto head and raining blood. Newer heavy it's gotta be Disciple.

[DeafForever]

Nah, "Christ Illusion" is pretty good. Pretty damn good, actually. It isn't the best they've ever done, but it's easily the best since "Seasons in the Abyss".

- south_of_heaven 11

[Prince Charming]

Christ Illusion is terrible. Have you read the lyrics? I found them the other day and thought... fukkkkk! I wrote better crap when I was a little kid.

Cult is good. Rest is awful.

[victim of changes]

Slayers lyrics have been foolish in the past, but im more focused on the intense crazy music they play together

[FatalEnergy]

On Hell Awaits the lyrics were plain evil. Not goofy like this new crap

[victim of changes]

thats true, guess its a new trend for them starting with GHUA but maybe they r makin an atempt to write some preety crazy lyrics, like how metallica tried going back to their roots on st.anger, just not working.

[loathed]

...the lyrics to the new album are abit... ...foolish...

[DeafForever]

On Hell Awaits the lyrics were plain evil. Not goofy like this new crap

Actually, I feel the opposite. The lyrics were incredibly cheesy on 'Hell Awaits' I thought. But I'd take songs (riff wise and such) like 'At Dawn They Sleep' or the title track over anything on 'Christ Illusion'...except maybe 'Flesh Storm'...that song is great...but yea...

I thought the lyrics on 'CI' were some of the best 'Slayer' had done so far...except for 'Catalyst'...ew

[Prince Charming]

Only lyric I enjoy from new Slayer is "New Faith"

YESS. One of the few Slayer lyrics I actually love. It's so true. :cool:

I'd rep you, but it won't let me. I did yesterday or the day before and haven't repped enough since.

[FatalEnergy]

I always thought the lyrics for Haunting the Chapel (Song) were pretty awesome. They had some really unique ideas for evil lyrics back in the day. Far more abstract than Venom or Exodus.

[Nostalgia]

I don't think any of Slayer's lyrics are "foolish" They're just really demonic. I don't think it really renders them silly.

[Prince Charming]

When you don't believe what you sing it does.

[Nostalgia]

A lot of bands don't believe what they sing. And Tom's not even Catholic, his Father's Roman Catholic and all that Tom says is the religion will remain in his heart. He doesn't follow Catholic dogma, either.

[Luc214]

Christ Illusion is terrible. Have you read the lyrics? I found them the other day and thought... fukkkkk! I wrote better crap when I was a little kid.

Cult is good. Rest is awful.

The music is great though imo.

And yeah shudder @ Catalyst: "Hail Satan" ugh.

[FatalEnergy]

I wrote a song about an Episode of Ghost in the Shell, where this guy takes young girls into his lair in the sewers and skins them alive. I don't believe in doing that. So are they lame lyrics?

[Prince Charming]

I liked Catalyst. It made me laugh instead of tear my ears off.

hail satan!

[Prince Charming]

Nope. I was talking more about religious/anti religion lyrics. Since it's such a strong subject.

haha. If I had it, I'd be in a brutal death/grind type band. I'd write sicker lyrics than CC has ever done or could dream of.

Like:
Gore/Dismemberment
Rape/Abuse/
Violent/Killing/Torture

I would do vivid descriptions and paint a picture. No general themes. It'd paint an exact mental picture of the horrid stuff.

Do I endorse ^^ that stuff? Hell no. It's great to write lyrics with though.

[Bazarov]

I'd say that At Dawn They Sleep is their heaviest...

[Apocalyptic Raids]

It's funny how you all chuckle at Catalyst for the hail satan part.

oh but it's cool on Altar of Sacrifice, right?

[Nostalgia]

I'd say that At Dawn They Sleep is their heaviest...
Man, I'd expect you to be in bed by now. Oh yeah, no work.

**** no I just got home right now from a 12 hour metal fest.. and it's 2 days long, I'm going back tomorrow, in like 9 hours... lol. But today I met all of the 1986 line up of Helstar, I met Cage, and ****ing Neil Turbin. Also I saw Juan Garcia of Agent Steel, but before I could meet him he took off, oh well I'll see him when I go back.

well I'm going to bed. Tomorrow, well just later today, I get to see Helstar again and Agent Steel... dammit, it's going to pwn hardcore.

[FatalEnergy]

Lucky. I'd kill to see Helstar

[chorbalan]

Seasons In the Abyss has pretty good lyrics mixed well with the music IMO.

[SimonCore]

^I love Seasons, all the un famous tracks on it are soo good.

NP- Spirit in Black \m/

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Seasons in overrated. It has a couple of good tracks, and the rest range from average to plain boring.

[Super Wotan]

On the lyrics talk: I don't think you have to believe what you write, though it's always better. That said though, my lyrics are always very nihilist/pagan/anti-general religion overall, and I doubt I could write that even half decent if not for having strong beliefs.

Anyway, Hail Slayer!

[UpperDecker]

I just downloaded Cult as my ringtone. Its pretty funny.

[Interviewer/surveyer]

heaviest slayer song...FINAL COMMAND!! well, no, not the heaviest, but arguable one of the best.

[FatalEnergy]

I've never understood why some people don't like Show No Mercy. Crionics is one of their best songs.

Seriously though, I think they were both for spamming.

[Po0sH]

Yo, what do you guys think of Christ Illusion. I think its pretty sick. The only thing I guess that is somewhat of a nuisance for me is the fact that the recordings are inconsistent, they sound different. I guess its from the download. I might buy it.

[Nostalgia]

I don't like it, and many other don't like it either. The lyrics on a lot of songs seem too generic for me. Like on Cult, the lyrics just sound so generic, singing about the flaws with religious dogma, and it just kind of gets annoying.

Actually, a lot of people like it. I've been moving away from this site in favor of the Slayer forums lately, and I posted a thread asking people to rate 'Christ Illusion', and I gave them Sputnik's ratings. So far, the average from about 25 voters is a 4.4/5 The lowest score so far would be a 3/5 by an individual person. That's pretty darn good in my book. Everyone on there seems to like it, except for a bout 2-3 n00bs who come in and start threads saying like "omgz this album sux hxc reign in blood 4evur!!!11"

Everyone on here seems to hate it. But outside of here, most Slayer fans are really digging it. Including me.

[[Nightbreak]]

I dunno about anyone else, but in the files I got I can occasionally hear band members talking beneath the music. It's funny.

[FatalEnergy]

You can hear that on Raining Blood if you really listen to it. Kerry says "is this right?" and Jeff says "Yeah"

[Happy]

What's that on the studio version?

And I read a bulliten from Slayer's myspace. Kerry and Jeff are appearing at Hot Topic tomorrow... wtf?

really? where, at what time? I listened, and I couldnt hear it.

...there is only one song named "Raining Blood"

I think you're confusing the album, Reign in Blood, with the song Raining Blood.

[Nostalgia]

I don't even know why people are so crazy about Reign In Blood. Most people consider it their best album, but I'm only guessing because of Angel of Death.

Hell Awaits > Anything.

Reign In Blood just has an intense chaotic assault on the senses feel, which Hell Awaits sorely lacks.

[Nostalgia]

Hell Awaits is a more evil album, focusing on more demonic subjects, that's why I feel is the best Slayer album, simply because that's Slayer's image.

[tehnub]

well the new album is miles better than god-hates-us-all
whichever way you choose to look at it

christ illusion rocks! \m/ not a bad song on it slayer is back

there are plenty of "bad songs" considering their high level of experience in the metal scene

Ah i did i put Raining Blood? Oops, sorry. FTR i have the Slayer discography; they're my favourite band.

Seriously though where abouts on the album is the speaking?

[Prince Charming]

I didn't hear it.

[manson667]

i can play south of heaven

[Stoo]

UGH! This is so annoying.

I haven't recieved Christ Illusion yet, and I dunno what to think.

I've heard people say it's a pile of crap, and then others say "Yeah, Slayers Back!"

:evil:

[Bazarov]

i can play south of heaven
Hi5

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

i can play south of heaven

I can also, on drums that is. I can also play bloodline and Seasons in the Abyss. Not a huge Slayer fan, although it is a killer band. I play some of their songs cause that is about my level of drumming.

[Benzum]

Track 5 on Christ Illusion I think, the intro is appauling, I burst out laughing after hearing the first sixty seconds or so....terrible

[Prince Charming]

Ben, are you Kalmah, formerally Swim?

[Benzum]

Correct...also tehnub, that got banned for no good reason

Hey-ho....

[SimonCore]

^Jihad is possibly the best song on the Album. The 'I will watch you burning screaming for your god!!" bit is well good!

[Shady Ultima]

Just got CI now.
I'm a pretty big Slayer fan, but I must say of the 5 Slayer Cds I had (before today) Seasons in the Abyss is my favourite by far. I also really liked South of Heaven too. Live Undead/God Hates Us All are pretty good, and Reign in Blood sits in the middle. I don't really like the cd... cause almost all the songs sound the same.

[Bazarov]

Everytime I hear someone say that the songs on RIB sound the same, I can't stand it... maybe it's just me, but I can hear clear differences in every song, and find no filler at all in that album.

[AA-12]

Same here.

[Poofy 666]

That's cause it's a good album. I've grown rather tired of most of the Slayer fans on here claiming this to be a horrible album and insist on the utter crappiness of it. I'm a member on the Slayer forums, and I'd say more than 90% of them f*cking love it. Then the other 10% are split between saying it's ok and saying it sucks. I've also noticed how high everyone here holds 'Hell Awaits' up on a shiny platter. It's a good/great album, but it's not their best. I mean, 7 songs? And if I remember correctly, the last two songs aren't that great in my book.

"Christ Illusion" is certainly a great album. I've just got a feeling that most of you so desperatley want another 'Reign in Blood' or 'South of Heaven' that you stick your nose up at this because it's not.

- south_of_heaven 11 (I have to use DeafForever caus SoH11 won't allow me to post on forums)

[Bazarov]

Hell Awaits is held on a shinny platter because of it's greatness. It's evil, it's fast, is brutal. It's classic, it is awesome.

Last 3 Slayer album are just Kerry King trying to be Slipknot bullcrap. Slayer are my favorite band, on the planet.. have been for the past 2 years, ever since I discovered them. But I won't lie to myself and say that they're still writing great riffs, they've pretty much lost it.

Slayer = my life. 'Hell Awaits' isn't really that fast, or brutal. It does have the evil thing for the most part, but I find the lyrics cheesy and almost B-Horror movie style IMO. Am I saying I don't love the album? No way, it's great, just not as great as I think you all are making it out to be.

And the Slipknot bullcrap thingy: No way. I think part of the reason why your thinking that is the production style they've begun to pick up on, which I like. They make it sound thicker, and heavier. Actually, classic Slayer riffs (palm mute + quick note + palm mute + quick note + palm mute + quick fill) dominate 'Christ Illusion'. I can see where Nu-Metal came into play on 'Diabolus' (which is growing on me slightly. Still don't like it too much) and 'GHUA'.

They haven't lost anything my friend...

[Bazarov]

Hell Awaits not that fast? Have you heard some of those riffs? Necrophiliac.. a prime example. Cheesy lyrics? No way... these lyrics are Shakespearian compared to newer

"I ****ing hate you ****ing ****er I hope you ****ing die ****ing bitch this is pay****ingback mother ****ing **** ****!!!!!"

I think this drop B guitar tone sucks, and is horrible. They need to go back to Eb, really badly.

[DeafForever]

"I ****ing hate you ****ing ****er I hope you ****ing die ****ing bitch this is pay****ingback mother ****ing **** ****
:lol:
I assume you're talking about Payback eh? Never was a big fan of that song...

Kill the preacher's only son
Watch the infant die
Bodily dismemberment
Drink the purest blood
Unrelenting need to kill
Death upon you now
Anxiously awaiting
Next in line.

Corny.

God won't touch what I've done
He cries upon my feet
A privilege pain
Beneath buried are your dead
On splintered bones I walk
Sifting through the blood
Besieged in fear
Await the coming of the God

Awesome.

Hell Awaits not that fast? Have you heard some of those riffs?

You crazy man. Of course I have! I just said that Slayer = My life, so come on!

[Bazarov]

That's pretty much all their new songs.. crap riffs filled with the F word.. why? Because Kerry thinks that makes a band a lot better obviously.

I guess we'll have to disagree, becuase I cannot stand what Slayer have become.

[DeafForever]

I guess we'll have to disagree, becuase I cannot stand what Slayer have become.
Agree to disagree eh? I can live with that.

I'm not gonna say I absolutely love the new Slayer over the old Slayer. I mean, I do really, really like 'Christ Illusion'...Hell, I think it's awesome...but if they came out on their next album sounding like 'South of Heaven' I'd literally be found in the hospital from a seizure from the sheer awesomeness of it.

[FatalEnergy]

Are you kidding me? That new crap is completely horrible. It borders mallcore about 50% of the time

[Suicide_Punishment]

The Music on CI reminds me of SITA which is a Good thing. But the Lyrics and Vocals still dont please me. I dont like how Tom has to yell the lyrics in almost every song or has to say them so damn fast. I also miss the classic Screams.However the songs i do enjoy are:

The eyes of the Insane
Jihad
Cult
Supremist

Quality over quantity.

They haven't lost anything my friend...
Tom's vocals are crap, and have been on a consistent slide since 1990. Jeff and Kerry's solos are worse than ever. Cult anyone? I though I recognised that solo, then I realised it's exactly the same as the one on Disciple! And the lyrics are just ****ing abominable.

Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war

Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
:rolleyes:

And the Slipknot bullcrap thingy: No way. I think part of the reason why your thinking that is the production style they've begun to pick up on, which I like. They make it sound thicker, and heavier.
The production on Christ Illusion sucks. The guitar sound is thin, the tone is horrible and overall the album sounds as sterile as a Necrophagist record.

Nowadays all the Hot Topic kiddies think Slayer is one of their beloved bands whose debut album came out post-2000. I kid you not, this group of them I ran into once were discussing In Flames. They said "Soundtrack to Your Escape has to be considered one of the greatest debut albums of all time, right up there with Pantera's Reinventing the Steel and Dimmu Borgir's Puritanical"

:smash:

[Nostalgia]

I remember hearing a quote for Kerry talking about how politics have no place in music, but yet, Cult's lyrics are totally anti-Christian, and they're not even really clever. Though religion isn't really a political stance, you can oppose Christianity easier than pointing out its flaws. That's why I think old Slayer is so much better. They sang demonic-related music, without basically trying to humilate Christianity.

I didn't see that Headbangers ball, but I know that Tom does have a good deal of grey in his beard, so I would'nt doubt it if that was him...

[Storm In A Teacup]

He looks 60.

[loathed]

Tom is already 45...its not uncommon for him to grey...

but i'll have to look at him...really looks 60?

[pate]

He looks pretty damn old.

[FatalEnergy]

Probably all the cocaine and meth and **** they did back in the day.

[Shadows]

Dave Lombardo is the only one who isn;t starting to show his age. Maybe it's just the sunglasses he's been wearing. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Araya has been offered senior citizen's discounts when he goes shopping.

:lol: :lol: Senior discount on Hot Topic items.

I don't think Jeff looks so old. The pics I've seen of him only show a little gray on his goatee.

[playguitar]

He doesn't look that old, just a little worn. Now Hetfield...grampy?

[pate]

Hah. Truf.

A little gray goes a long way. It's hard to be a tr00 metalhead when even your hair isn't as dark as your heart should be.

[pate]

...but Jeff's blonde.

[Shadows]

Gray is lighter than blonde! Do you not understand???!!

[pate]

But you said gray equal bad.

[Shadows]

It was a typo. Cut me some slack, it's 2 am here.

[pate]

Got it. I was quite confused.

[playguitar]

I don't get it, so I'll just say...
"Jesus saves, listen to you pray
You think you'll see the pearly gates
When death takes you away."

[pate]

You go to the church, you kiss the cross
You will be saved at any cost
You have your own reality, Christianity
You spend your life just kissing ***
A trait that's grown as time has passed
You think the world will end today
You praise the Lord, it's all you say

JESUS SAVES!


a pet peeve of mine, is Slayer noobs that yell out, "Jesus Saves no one!" holy crap. Maybe it's just a plague in San Diego.. but I've had people walk by me when I'm wearing a Slayer shirt and they'll yell that out. You know what it is though? It was that stupid VH1: Growing Up Metalhead and that stupid comedian who talked about when he heard Reign in Blood for the first time.

[Interviewer/surveyer]

what does everyone think of the new slayer album. I think its quite bad actually, they really don't cover any new ground and only 3 songs are worth listening to.

[Bazarov]

I'm not fond of it at all.

[UpperDecker]

I actually can't stop listening to it. At first i thought it all sounded average and boring but now i like every song (some more than others). I really don't know why people are saying it sucks.

Agreed. I also hate it when people come up to me and go (jokingly) 'Slayer rawks so hard dude!!!'. That gets a fist in their gut from me. Or like that fat fu*k on the 'Warfield' DVD who was talking about having 'mental connections' with anyone who was wearing a Slayer shirt...he just needed another twinkie, that was his connection...

I love it.

[Nostalgia]

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel, too.

lol, thats embarrassing.

[Bazarov]

I've never had anyone say that to me, but I'd be pissed. I've had people say that Slayer sucks. I'd much rather them do that. I remember once I was wearing a Metallica shirt and some douche was all, "Nice Metal-licka shirt." I wanted to smash his skull.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

So, i hear the new album is super satanic....

[Nostalgia]

No. Shut up.

Thats just some funny sh1t right there...

Are tellin me to shut up?

[Nostalgia]

No.

[Bazarov]

So, i hear the new album is super satanic....
So Satanic that Lucifer decided he should just hand Hell over to Slayer themselves.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

k, i was gonna say...

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

So Satanic that Lucifer decided he should just hand Hell over to Slayer themselves.

Lol, I dont know if they are that badass.

[Bazarov]

Believe you me, Slayer are that badass and more.

[Poofy 666]

Specially now.

Forget their 80's stuff.

[lamb_of_goddrummer]

Lol, ok ill take you guys' word on it. So do they castrate Lucifer when they take over or do they have a cold one with him?

[playguitar]

Lol, ok ill take you guys' word on it. So do they castrate Lucifer when they take over or do they have a cold one with him?

Both. And then they take over heaven, and Kerry plays the bagpipes all day.

[FatalEnergy]

Tom rapes angels.




Tom Angelripper that is.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Onkel Tom \m/

[DeafForever]

I've come to find out that I can't listen to old Slayer and then new Slayer. Like, if I'm listening to "Christ Illusion" and then try and put in "Haunting the Chapel", it just doesn't sit right with me. I have to go through something else. It's kinda weird.

I love both albums though.

[Drone]

I just bought the new album. I think it is AWESOME. Flesh Storm is amazing.

[The Negation]

I dont like the new album much.
But I think I might go see them on the Unholy Alliance tour when it hits here in November because...I can.

[pate]

Onkel Tom \m/

Hell yes.

[Stoo]

I don't have Christ Illusion yet. I don't know what to expect, such mixed opinions with Slayer fans.

[Poofy 666]

Download it first. Then delete it because it sucks :)

Spend your money on other stuff. There are way better new releases right now than that.

[Stoo]

Yeah but it's Slayer.

There are always gonna be better albums out than the one you wanna buy.

I already ordered it anyway.

[Poofy 666]

Haha, I'm just kidding.

I think its funny how half of the Slayer fans are hailing this as the best thing they have released since Seasons, while the other half say it sucks monkey testicles.

[Stoo]

EXACTLY!! UGH.

That's why I dunno what to expect. Bet it's like GHUA. Coz some people liked that, most didn't as much as earlier work, but it could have been worse. Lol.

[Bazarov]

It's bad. You were better off just downloading it and then if for some insane reason you liked it, then buying it. Oh well. For me, Slayer up to Divine Intervention is pure excellence.

[UpperDecker]

EXACTLY!! UGH.

That's why I dunno what to expect. Bet it's like GHUA. Coz some people liked that, most didn't as much as earlier work, but it could have been worse. Lol.

I don't have GHUA so i can't compare it to that but I'd say that its a mix between Reign In Blood and Seasons. This cd is so good. I'm trying not to play it out but it will happen and that will be a sad day.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

The new album is pretty average, but it's nowhere near as bad as the previous two albums. It has it's moments.

Overall I'd give it about 40-50%.

[pate]

I really like Flesh Storm, but don't care for the rest.

[Shadows]

I almost bought it but stopped myself just in time. I'm glad I didn't; I like CI but I'd rather save my money for new Deicide next week.

[pate]

Indeed, the new Deicide owns.

[UpperDecker]

Does anyone else really like breakdown at the end of Catatonic? Its awesome.

[Stoo]

I got Seasons In The Abyss and South Of Heaven today.

Not listened yet... can't be arsed I'm eating curry pies. soo good.

Anyway, pointess post.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

South of Heaven is great, and Seasons is ok.

[victim of changes]

Seasons is possibly their best album.

[[Nightbreak]]

Seasons = Reign > Hell Awaits > Show No Mercy > CI > Divine Intervention > SoH for me. I'm not putting in the rest, and the only one I havn't heard is HtC, which I should probably go and get now.

I find SoH a bit boring really, it sounds really flat. The title track is excellent until you hear the live version on Live Decade of Aggression, which whups it's arse, and Mandatory Suicide is the only other killer song on there.

[Prince Charming]

Soh behind CI? Have you lost your mind?

[[Nightbreak]]

Nope, it's more my style of music and the production alone makes it better. SoH, as I explained in the post you obviously ignored the rest of, sounds very flat, and too slow. The verses in the title track should be at least 1.5 times faster, like in the Decade of Aggression version (which kicks all kinds of arse).

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Damn ****ing right you should get Haunting The Chapel, it's their finest hour.

[pate]

Hell yes it is.

[The Negation]

Damn ****ing right you should get Show No Mercy, it's their finest hour.

:thumb:

[Bazarov]

The first 4 by Slayer are a necessity I think, after that, it's a matter of how much of a fan you are.

[Shadows]

I would say first 5 by Slayer. I don't like South of Heaven much but I really dig Seasons in the Abyss, which seems to be a crazy opinion by Slayer fan standards.

[pate]

For the first five plus HTC, I'd go:

HTC > SNM > HA > Seasons >>>>>> Reign >> SoH

[Huber]

All I know is right now, I'm listening to one kickass song.

NP Antichrist

If I had to put them in order, it'd be a strong tie between Show No Mercy and RIB, and then Haunting the Chapel, Hell Awaits, South of Heaven, and last but not least Seasons.

That order changes a lot though.

[pate]

The Antichrist \m/

[DeafForever]

SoH > Seasons > RiB > SNM > CI > HA > HTC (Its an EP. But those three songs indvidually = bliss) > DI > GHUA > DiM > UA

[The Negation]

SoH sucked on epic levels

[Bazarov]

Fools! South of Heaven is great.

[The Negation]

Its roadkill. For serious.

[Nostalgia]

No, it was a good album. Most people are missing the point of its entire existence.

[Stoo]

which is

[Nostalgia]

It was experimental. When Slayer came out with Show No Mercy, it was their first and it was really thrashy, demonic/satanic lyrics. After Show No Mercy, Hell Awaits had the same concept: hell-induced lyrics, satanic image, along with a whole thrashy album. When South Of Heaven came out it was different. Spill The Blood is so hugely overarted. It just showed a whole different side to Slayer that hadn't been seen on their first two albums.

People think of the whole album as trash because "It wasn't up to par with the thrashy tempo of their two earlier releases". Some songs actually had a meaning with current events, not to say they're better for having lyrics that are focused on politcal aspects/controversial issues, hence Silent Scream.

I can see where people can find the idea of the production to the album to suck, but the idea an concept of the album is what made it so great.

[DeafForever]

Nay, South of Heaven is a masterpiece. I worship every song off that album.

but the idea an concept of the album is what made it so great.

I don't believe it was a concept album, but it was the only album that they actually sat down and planned out. They knew they couldn't outdo the tempo that was present on 'Reign in Blood', so they decided to try out something new.

I can see where people can find the idea of the production to the album to suck,

I honestly can't figure that one out yet. I think the production is great on that, and I especially love Tom's voice. Some people might think it sounds flatter (his voice), but I feel it sounds smoother, and more sinister, giving it more of a Criminal/Evil tinge to it...

Spill The Blood is so hugely overarted.

....? You mean under-rated?


...'Live Undead' makes me orgasm.

[MudvayneFreak666]

the new record rules you guys. what's wrong with it? it's classic slayer back!

[Apocalyptic Raids]

South of Heaven was just a slight change in direction from Reign In Blood. I wouldn't say anything Slayer have done is experimental in the slightest.

...'Live Undead' makes me orgasm.
Yeah, but it would be much better if it were actually live.

[The Feeding]

okay, any metalhead will INSTANTLY recognize the riff from Raining Blood, or Angel Of Death. I like the riff from Silent Scream and also the intro riff from Jihad bc its so odd.

[DeafForever]

Yeah, but it would be much better if it were actually live.

Good call :thumb:

the new record rules you guys. what's wrong with it? it's classic slayer back!

WORD TO THAT

[Nostalgia]

Hahaha, yeah, I meant it's underrated.

[SimonCore]

Live Undead makes me not want to be a Slayer fan it's so cheesy!!

About 'Christ Illusion' it's definetly there best since seasons, better than divine i'd say (even though Dittohead is one of my favourite Slayer songs) diabolous was just embarrasing (Stain of mind the exception) GHUA generally was average however i'm a huge fan of disciple and New faith.

Has anyone heard the older version of 'Here comes the pain'?? When I d'loaded it it says it's from an album called 'WCW mayhem' so it must be off a wrestling soundtrack. Anyone know?

[pep]

I think it appeared on the WCW Mayhem videogame or something like that. Im not so sure though.

[SimonCore]

Hmm, well it's much better than the one on GHUA.

[DeafForever]

Live Undead makes me not want to be a Slayer fan it's so cheesy!!

Ohhh how I hate you now.

South of Heaven (album) is Dave's best work. Agree?

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I would agree with that.

[victim of changes]

Maybe Christ Illusion

[SimonCore]

Maybe Christ Illusion

^Makes sence. He can only get better as time goes by. Until he looses his physical strength, but that hasn't happened yet.

Anywho can someone tell me why the production is better on Show no Mercy than it is on Haunting the Chapel and Hell Awaits?

[MudvayneFreak666]

Maybe Christ Illusion
yes dudes. His drummin on here totally beats rain in blood and south of heaven. he's gotta be my favorite drummer, mostly becaue he's in slayer

[pate]

Calm down MF.

[victim of changes]

Lombardo's insane, it's that much sweeter for a listener of slayer if u play drums.

[HNLzero]

Man, Tom Araya looks so old now.

[victim of changes]

lol yea well at least hes still got his hair

[UpperDecker]

I already asked this but noone answered. What do you think of the breakdown during the end of Catatonic? Its so simple yet so awesome. I have to hear it atleast once a day.

[SimonCore]

I find Catatonic quite annoying because it sounds like it's gonna take off and get really fast but it never progresses. I like Flesh storm but it goes on a bit too long.

[see spot run]

I'd really like to know what kind of sunglasses Kerry King wears. They're wicked.

(In particular the kind from the poster in Guitar Worlds "Metal Heroes Magazine")

[Bazarov]

I kind of like the sideburns thing he had going on... when my sideburns are finished coming in, I'll difinitely try them out once. :lol:

[victim of changes]

i've had sideburns since i was 12, lol no joke. I mean full thick ones too of course


worthless post

[Bazarov]

You're lucky. Facial hair doesn't like me. I remember a kid in 8th grade.. he was huge and must of had a testosterone surge because he was really big, full of acne and a full on beard.

I was totally listening to Slayer today in my computer multimedia class. Our teacher had a heart attack over summer and ever since the first day of school we've had subsitutes that don't know what to do, so I just bring my cd's and talk to people. It's great.

[Bazarov]

Just found out a local band, PC Deathsquad is writing a new song dedicated to Slayer called: "God Hates Your Riffs". I find this funny. When they get it up on their myspace I'll totally post it in here.

[Bazarov]

It will most difinitely rule. They also have another song called, "**** Metallica" which uses their song titles... Hopefully this song will blow away the Metallica one.

On a positive note on Slayer, Haunting the Chapel still rules.
