Slayer

[UpperDecker]

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.

Yea, its pretty good but its only 4 songs. I've heard people say that its better than Reign in Blood which is very untrue.

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Quality over quantity.

[pate]

Indeed. I find Reign extremely overrated. It's ok, but not this landbreaking album, and HTC is just ****ing awesome.

[Apocalypticon]

HTC is good, but Show No Mercy tops all.

[Pickles]

I just got Slayer's newest CD. Overall I'ld give it a 7/10. It still sucks but it's a big improvement from past CDs. I hope this shows Kerry that he needs Dave Lombardo.

It's funny how the two bands that they're criticizing are two of your favorites, and yet, you are such a loyal fan, heh.

You think 7/10 = suck????

[lightningmetal666]

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.

What a fitting title for a Slayer tribute song. Apparently Slayer and God are mortal enemies.

[Perhaps Crickets]

he's a more than slighty confuzzled sea lion.

[lightningmetal666]

I really didn't like the new album. Cult is cool, but all the songs sound bland and generic. Nothing really stood out for me.

I've got a bad feeling that thrash is dying out.

[Bazarov]

Haven't seen you on here in a long while. :wave:

Yes, the new album is pretty bad.

Thrash is pretty much dead except for the underground bands. San Diego has a few good ones. There's quite a bit I hear up in the LA area, but according to FatalEnergy most are poseurs and doing it to be trendy. I'd like to make a thrash band if I had more creativity, I'm more of a, "cover other bands' songs guy".

[Apocalyptic Raids]

I've got a bad feeling that thrash is dying out.
it's been pretty much dead since 1992. Most of the bands still going from the 80's aren't really great anymore.

As Butcher said, there are these newer "retro Thrash" bands which are somewhat enjoyable, though they tend to be rather bland sometimes. I would rather listen to Pleasure To Kill for the 100th time than hear some band trying to imitate that album.

[Benzum]

Yes, the new album is pretty bad.



It's not bad, just a little out of it's time, but Jihad is a pile of crap, pissed myself at that intro

I wish they would do more with the vocals in the studio

Raids is right about the 1992 thing, although there is new thrash around, we don't classify that

[pate]

Municipal Waste is about the only worthwhile new thrash.

EDIT: Add Horrorscope to that

[Benzum]

Municipal Waste isn't thrash, it's a crossover band.
There are plenty of decent thrash acts, or at least bands who encorporate thrashy elements into their brand of noise

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Municipal Waste isn't thrash, it's a crossover band.
Thrash and Crossover are so closely related that in most cases that distinction need not be made.

It depends on the band, really.

[Benzum]

I thought an exception should be made for Municipal Waste, because let's face it, they own hard

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Indeed they do.

[south_of_heaven 11]

Yes, the new album is pretty bad.

I still think 'Christ Illusion' is awesome on all levels :cool:


Whenever I listen to 'Decade of Aggression' and have 'Hell Awaits' flow right into 'The Antichrist', something near me always gets broke. \m/

[playguitar]

Slayer absolutely destroyed both the shows they played on Decade of Aggression.

[south_of_heaven 11]

Hey Butcher, I was re-reading your sound-off for 'Christ Illusion', and you said its barely better than GHUA and that sh*tfest that was 'Diabolus in Musica' (which is growing on me still, btw)...but you have 'Diabolus' rated higher than 'CI'....:confused:

....eh?

I've got a bad feeling that thrash is dying out.

Destruction's 'Inventor of Evil' owns

[Bazarov]

My opinions have changed since I first rated those albums.. I've just never bothered to go back and change it. I forgot what I even rated it. I'd probably give it a 1.5 now...

[thrashman77]

seriously, after seasons they like hit it real hard.. divine interventions was bad in my opinion, and people are saying how god hates us all is a hard and great slayer album, but it really sounds nothing like thrash i once knew, honestly i will not be able to stand it for one second if one guy sings disciple again.

and the knew album, i mean really there riffs seem just to simple by the looks of whats coming (though i liked psychopathy red, but i hated the other tracks). when i defended slayer when critics said there so called talent is simplify same paced thrash drums, just fast strumming the lowest note and occasionally adding a twist, i usually denied and was in bliss in my ignorance. but now, after this... i'm losing hope in my fav thrash band, or perhaps metal band...

anyone else feel this way

[witchxrapist]

They were never good.

[Meatplow]

I'll probably listen to World Painted Blood when it comes out.

I don't hold high hopes for it though.

[Itwasthatwas]

They were never good.

way to be wrong

[Aaron]

Slays for days.

[Countorus]

there isnt anything wrong with divine intervention

[rasputin]

slayyyuuuurghhhh

[Stevie]

what's the point of thinking one second about new slayer?

[Bazarov]

Was blasting my Show No Mercy cd while driving to and from work.

[Countorus]

nice work

[rasputin]

what's the point of thinking one second about new slayer?

cuz slayer

[witchxrapist]

Was blasting my Show No Mercy cd while driving to and from work.

ya well i blasted underoath on my way to school and neil perry on my way home

[Countorus]

wat u do that for

[witchxrapist]

idk, to listen to good music

beats the hell out of listening to slayer

[Countorus]

leaving argument now

[Meatplow]

I keep my bible in a pool of blood

i'm gonna give this new album a shot

[Meatplow]

Yeah, the production sounds so weedy to me, the guitar tones feel like this annoying buzzing sound most of the time it feels like it misses the mark with intensity.

Album has its good moments, and some very mediocre ones. Public Display Of Dismemberment was impressive.

[The Feeding]

good for you, I'm still trying to figure out if it's worth anything

[Meatplow]

I never thought the taste of you,
Would be the only thing to make me bleed
All alone in my funeral home
Playing in blood there's just got to be
Something wrong with me

[Meatplow]

http://www.bravewords.com/news/121039

pretty damn godawful review right here

[The Feeding]

such a fanbow review

[south_of_heaven 11]

Surprisingly, World Painted Blood is a good album. Americon (ITZ ALL BOUT THA MUTHA****IN OIL LOL) and Human Strain are the only two songs that I really can't stand to listen to. Hate Worldwide and the title track aren't as bad as they were as singles for some reason...I can't put my finger on it, but when I listened to the album as a whole, both those songs were elevated from complete sh*t to painfully mediocre.

Best tracks by far are Unit 731, Psychopathy Red, Snuff, and Public Display of Dismemberment (growing to love this one even more). I also really dig Beauty Through Order, and Playing With Dolls is actually pretty interesting to me. Not of this God could've been so much more awesome had they tossed out the middle section.

...and it needs better production.

[Meatplow]

Yeah those four you mentioned were my favourite, Public Display the only one i've been tempted to put on repeat for the past 20 minutes though.

I really didn't like Playing With Dolls until toward the end, listening to it again I could probably get used to it.

[BassDemon333]

Listened to Reign in Blood, South of Heaven, and Seasons in the Abyss back-to-back today for the first time in a while. Forgot how good those albums were.

I have World Painted Blood but havent listened to it yet. Apparently it's good ****.

[C.O.A.]

new album is wack.

[Bazarov]

idk, to listen to good music

beats the hell out of listening to slayer

Mappy, are you ever going to not be a faggot?

[witchxrapist]

I'm a fag because I like good music over Slayer?

[rasputin]

jesus christ mappy

[Meatplow]

yeah keep the h8 to a minimum plz

[Mother]

I'll have to chek this out, It seems far fetched that both two of the big Thrashers have put out a good album this year.

[feav233]

Slllllaaaaaayyyyyyyeeeeerrrrrrr

[Meatplow]

did anyone see the "fans rule" section on that live DVD they had

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQA9ty5eCuY

hell, its on youtube

[Bazarov]

I'm a fag because I like good music over Slayer?

Yeah man, Underoath is some manly stuff. Very good music also.


God you're hopeless. But for some reason, I love you.

[interviewer02]

I'm a fag because I like good music over Slayer?

Slayer was good in the 80's...lets not forget that.

[Bazarov]

Anyone who listens to Underoath or Korn, really has no musical opinion that should be listened to or taken seriously...

[Carl Sagan]

underoath > slayer

[Jaundice]

KoRn is cool enough.

[SlightlyEpic]

anyone with a different opinion to me must be wrong

[Bazarov]

Nah, you're all wrong.

[interviewer02]

Anyone who listens to Underoath or Korn, really has no musical opinion that should be listened to or taken seriously...

Korn used to be amazing too.

Yeah, I really hate Underoath, they annoy the **** out of me, I can't stand 'em. They have a good drummer though.

[The Feeding]

I enjoyed Korn until whatever album followed Issues and Follow The Leader really wasn't that good. Underoath has always put out quality material, I need to check out Aaron's band The Almost sometime

[Conservationist]

New Slayer is an improvement, if you ask me.

"World Painted Blood is both a return to form and transition for Slayer. The heavy riffs are back, but the songs are written more like AC/DC would write them. The result is a toe-tapping, fist-pumping, blasphemy-screaming ride through hell on an economy ticket. It's not the progrock-influenced epic style of older Slayer, but it's a quick study and a ripping terror: simple but effective."

- Brett Stevens, Examiner.com (Slayer - World Painted Blood: "Simple but effective" (http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-10472-Houston-Metal-Music-Examiner~y2009m11d7-Slayer--World-Painted-Blood-Simple-but-effective))


Roughly what I think of it. It's not old Slayer, but it's better than anything since Seasons in the Abyss.

[Conservationist]

Director of the National Day of Slayer takes time to chat with The Right Hand Path webzine about metal, SLAYER!!!, and the National Day of Slayer's quest to replace the National Day of Prayer with heavy metal.

The Right Hand Path: National Day of Slayer interview (http://therighthandpath.wordpress.com/2009/11/14/the-right-talk-exclusive-interview-with-jt-director-of-national-day-of-slayer-task-force-of-the-national-day-of-slayer-llc-a-non-profit-corporation-in-the-state-of-wyoming-the-united-states-of-a/)


Replace the National Day of Prayer!

[Bazarov]

I thought this was only for when 06/06/06 rolled around. They still are doing this? Oh well. Too bad no local radio station will play Slayer 24hrs for the day. I mean ****, for 2 Christmases one radio station played 24 hours of Metallica... ugh. Good thing I don't listen to the radio anymore.

[Nostalgia]

brett stevens like slayer? hahaha

[Conservationist]

brett stevens like slayer? hahaha

Apparently!

But it's hard to really hate Slayer, although some people do it.

Hell, some people hate Possessed.

[lak89]

slayeerrrrrrrrrr

[Meatplow]

Auschwitz
the meaning of pain
the way that i want you to die

[Itwasthatwas]

Disappointing album, where'd the intensity go?

[Meatplow]

http://i46.tinypic.com/28cdq39.jpg

In its compression I bet.

I hate how labels ask engineers to do this.

[Conservationist]

I agree. It totally loses dynamic and texture. Distortion sounds more like a keyboard.

[Bazarov]

Slayer lost their intensity around South of Heaven man.... it's an alright album, Seasons is so-so Divine Intervention kinda blows... then, well the rest sucks.

[AA-12]

hahaha this thread :x

[Stevie]

i just found out that slayer have cancelled their uk tour because tom has a bad back

almost spinal tappy

[Countorus]

got his spinal tapped

[Stevie]

no pun intended

[Countorus]

well your no fun

[Bazarov]

they're just a bunch of old dudes now. Pretty soon they'll be turning their concert volumes down and come on stage using hover 'rounds.

[rasputin]

Slayer lost their intensity around South of Heaven man.... it's an alright album, Seasons is so-so Divine Intervention kinda blows... then, well the rest sucks.

i think seasons was great

[lak89]

i really hope i get to see them before they retire, i missed them this time round on their tour in australia..

[Jude]

I used to hear them back before I got into Opeth and In Flames and be like "God damn that sounds horrible just a bunch of noise"

Then I just heard a review of their new album on NPR, of all places, and I was just like, "damn, that sounds really bland"

[Bazarov]

i really hope i get to see them before they retire, i missed them this time round on their tour in australia..

You should. Slayer concerts are an experience.

[unusedprogram46]

Show No Mercy. 'nuff said.

just looking at that hurts my ears

[Conservationist]

I understand this viewpoint. It mirrors mine, except that I think they're trying to make enough cash to retire, and for commercial radio metal, their latest is exceptional.

I will still probably stick to my BLASPHEMY and DEMILICH CDs instead :)
