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.

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

[QUOTE=FatalEnergy]On [I]Hell Awaits[/I] the lyrics were plain evil. Not goofy like this new crap[/QUOTE]

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

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

I completely agree.

Holy man open up your eyes
To the ways of the world you've been so blind.
As the walls of religion come crashing down
How's the ignorance taste the second time around.

Slayer lyrics are always a bit...foolish.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

[QUOTE=Flash And Dash]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.[/QUOTE]

The music is great though imo.

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

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?

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

hail satan!

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.

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

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

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

Man, I'd expect you to be in bed by now. Oh yeah, no work.

That's exactly what I said at the top of the last page. :thumb:

**** 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.

My favorite Slayer song.

KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!

Dude, you're so lucky you get to live in California.

[QUOTE=SilentScream]Dude, you're so lucky you get to live in California.[/QUOTE]
I used to. It's great. Oregon is hell.

SLAYER!!!!!!!

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.

Lucky. I'd kill to see Helstar

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

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

NP- Spirit in Black \m/

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

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!

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

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