The mixing really ruined this album and makes it almost unlikeable overall. The shitty vocals do't do it either.

Slayer did not sell-out or slump in the 90's compared to most of their other American contemporaries. Divine Intervention is a fucking slap in the face of anyone thinking they were going to slow down like Megadeth/Metallica or just simply start to suck because of a new bad singer (Anthrax).

Then Diabolus In Musica happened

DIM is slightly experimental, but there's classics on it. Bitter Peace, Scrum, Screaming From The Sky, In The Name of God, Unguarded Instinct, Point..

Going Nu-Metal (or groove) when it's the most commercial metal sub genre is not what i would call experimental to be honest.

I think it's mostly caused by Hanneman writing all but one song which only half the album has groove features. Jeff was in incredible pain due to arthritis during the Divine Intervention tour. I see it as him using the easier one finger power chord, the banned by the church tuning. The album retains the evil vibe that's inherent to all real Slayer albums, it still has those Hanneman evil riffing totally absent from Repentless except for the one song he actually wrote on it (and was better on the WPB 7"). I think they were taking hints from Rubin who also in the same year produced System of a Down's self titled. No way is it flawless, the songs I mentioned do not groove. Bitter Peace is a masterpiece the intro and how it explodes still works almost 20 years later. Got to be Hanneman to make a half-thrash/half-groove album possible to listen in its entirety.
Something the much approved Christ Illusion fails to do so, in my opinion. Thankfully WPB came and the old school Hanneman signature all over plus King's stuff was actually great too. The last Slayer album, Repentless does not exist.

Ok this is a difficult album but music changed a lot in the few years leading up to Renewal. At the time I remember this getting great reviews, and for me it remains one of Kreator's best albums, I still have massive respect for them for all their 90's albums which were all unique and fantastic. I remember it was a shock when it came out hearing how different it was, compared to how we all expected it to sound but the songs on this are great, so aggressive backing up some of the best lyrics of any metal album. Approach with an open mind, this is different....... Europe After The Rain is still my favourite Kreator song of all time. Grunge hit but Kreator survived!!

''Winter Martyrium'' seems like a good name for a melodeath or meloblack band/album.

Stupid rating/assessment of a great album. How dare you give "Renewal" a 2.5 and consider it a "slump" of an album.
|

Cause for Conflict is the zenith of their experimental era imo but yeah this album has been unjustly bashed and misunderstood.
|
| |
Btw if I recall correctly Mille supposedly wanted this album to be produced by Rick Rubin. What would have been the final results is a question that I think will remain unanswered for all the eternity...
