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

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."

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

Replace the National Day of Prayer!

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.

brett stevens like slayer? hahaha

Apparently!

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

Hell, some people hate Possessed.

slayeerrrrrrrrrr

Disappointing album, where'd the intensity go?

In its compression I bet.

I hate how labels ask engineers to do this.

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

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.

hahaha this thread :x

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

almost spinal tappy

got his spinal tapped

no pun intended

well your no fun

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.

i think seasons was great

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

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"

You should. Slayer concerts are an experience.

Show No Mercy. 'nuff said.

just looking at that hurts my ears

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 :)

They play insanely fast and heavy with no shame and I give em props for that. I think the coolest thing to come from Slayer is the double kick drum setup!

you should listen to more slayer.

i really liked god hates us all, i don't see whats wrong with that album.

That's good for you. You're allowed to listen to shi[SIZE="2"]t[/SIZE]ty music all you want. But really, God Hates Us All and anything after that album is definitely the worst material Slayer have ever released.

[i]Bloodline[/i] is still pretty catchy

I used to think [i]Warzone[/i] was the be all end all on the top of the scale of how heavy metal can get

no, seasons was awesome

South of Heaven is the best.

Intensity =/= Good

South of Heaven had better solos. better riffs, and ten times better drumming than anything else they have done.

South of Heaven is terrible.

good joke.

Like your username.

he-yo! (all slayer is terrible)

[QUOTE=south_of_heaven 11;17755753]good joke.[/QUOTE]

I love how you always appear in this thread after not posting in forever everytime "South of Heaven sucks" is mentioned. lol

It's how Grant roles lol.

when we're talking about slayer, intensity = good. SoH is pretty intense in it's own way anyhow
