Well if you like RIB, then I'd suggest Hell Awaits.. But Show no Mercy or South of Heaven you might like as well.

With the albums he's got, SoH will be far too slow for his liking. He's used to the velocity of Seasons and Reign. I know Seasons has it's slow moments, but not half as bad as some of the SoH stuff. I can only listen to the title track live.

Divine Intervention is better than i thought it'd be. I dunno i thought it wouldnt be good for some reason. What does everyone think about Diabolous in musica?

I don't like how this thread is fading away. c'mon Slayer fans!:angry: :mad:

I honestly hated Divine, I didn't like Tom's vocals at all, the only song I really liked was 213, and that's because he was talking about Joseph Dhamer. (sp?)

To be fair Tom Araya is probably one of the worst metal singers ever. As much as I hate to say it. Slayer still are my favourite thrash band.

I wouldn't call him "the worst" see how long he holds that note on Angel of Death? it's like... seven seconds. True he's not very good, but, I wouldn't call him bad.

The guitars and drums more than make up for the lack in the vocals department

Tom's vocals maybe bad now. But his voice from Show no Mercy to Reign in Blood are supreme.

Diabolus in Musica only has 3 songs I like: Stain of Mind, Death's Head, and Bitter Peace. Divine Intervention, I don't like much either only a few songs. Dittohead is the best song on there, also one of my favorite Slayer songs.

NP: Haunting the Chapel

Agreed. I'd still like to hear more bass every now and then.

Tbh i don't like DittoHead. As for Diabolous in musica, i heard Stain of mind and was expecting every track to be like that. It's a good album but i was a little disapointed.

Too each his own. I hate that album.

Hell Awaits has perfect amount of bass in my opinion. You can hear it in every song. Plus, At Dawn The Sleep has a great bass line.

[QUOTE]Slayer Forge 'Ozzfest Alternative' With Mastodon, Lamb Of God - March 3rd, 2006
For Slayer guitarist Kerry King, June 6 holds considerably more weight this year, a year that marks the 20th anniversary of the release of the band's trailblazing speed-metal album, Reign in Blood. With his penchant for satanic lyrical imagery, King pinpointed June 6 — 6/6/06 — as the ideal release date for Slayer's forthcoming album, the follow-up to 2001's God Hates Us All. But months of record label holdups have placed King's lofty goal in peril.

Of course, Slayer are not about to let June 6 come and go without some sort of acknowledgement on their end. Oh no — instead of releasing a record, they plan to launch a two-month U.S. tour with Mastodon, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom and Thine Eyes Bleed.

Dubbed the Unholy Alliance Tour, the trek will make stops in most major cities, although the actual routing of the run is still being fleshed out. Either way King's anxious to hit the road again.

"It's been 18 months since we've toured in the States," he explained. "People are going to be chomping at the bit to see us again. [Although tour runs concurrently with Ozzfest], we're certainly not going to try to make Ozzfest go away. We're just trying to offer an alternative."

According to Rick Sales, Slayer's manager of 18 years, the idea's to make the Unholy Alliance Tour an annual event "with the best bands out there." During the fall of 2004, Slayer, Slipknot, Mastodon and Hatebreed toured Europe under the Unholy Alliance tag. Sales also wants to take the tour global and said following its U.S. run, the Alliance will return to Europe, followed by stints in Japan and Australia — although, he noted the lineups would be different on each leg.

"I think we're in a different spot than Ozzfest," Sales continued. "This is more extreme and it's not involving any sort of 'radio bands.' It's a no-compromise lineup, the best of the breed. We think this is a great live event and that the tour will become bigger than the lineup. I think Ozzfest has proven that."

Slayer will deliver an hour-plus set to close out each night of the Unholy Alliance; Thine Eyes Bleed will open on all dates, followed by Bodom and Mastodon (who'll be rotating slots) and then Lamb of God. King said Slayer will debut some new material from the stage.

On Tuesday Slayer entered a Los Angeles studio, where they started recording the 11 songs that'll comprise their yet-untitled album. Rick Rubin (Jay-Z, Red Hot Chili Peppers) will executive-produce the disc, while Josh Abraham (Velvet Revolver, Staind) will turn the knobs. One of the songs has an official title ("Cult"), but all of them, King promised, will be devastatingly grim.

"There are definitely things you can't write about in Slayer, and there are definitely things people expect you to write about," he said. "Everybody expects war, Satanism or anti-religious stuff — and this record's chock-full of that."

The LP, which the band hopes to finish in time for a late June release, will be the first to feature original drummer Dave Lombardo in more than 15 years. Their last outing together was 1990's Seasons in the Abyss.

"[Drummer] Paul [Bostaph], who we did God Hates Us All with, kind of had an elbow problem, and now he's with Exodus," King said. "When Paul left us ... it was brought to our attention that Dave was available. And we figured if anybody should be doing this, it should be him."

Most of the 11 songs Slayer will record were written more than two years ago, the guitarist said. "We're hoping to do it old-school and record everything in like four weeks," he added. "We're ready. This is probably the most ready we've been since Seasons. We've been spinning our wheels in rehearsals, just waiting for the green light on this thing. Now that we've got it, we're ready to go.

"It's definitely going to be a riff-fest," King continued. "There's riffs all over the place. As much time as we've had to work on it, there better be riffs on it. I think anybody who likes Slayer, musically, is going to love it."

While Sales said Slayer's studio LP probably won't be in stores by June 6, he says the band will release a digital download, EP or something else to coincide with the tour launch.

On Saturday, MTV2's "Headbangers Ball" will feature an exclusive interview with bassist Tom Araya regarding the forthcoming album and the Unholy Alliance run.[/QUOTE]

Pfffffft

[I]Reign In Blood[/I] has some of the best vocals in metal. Period.

Sure he can't actually sing like Rob Halford, but Thrash was never about that.

If I remember right, that note he holds on Angel Of Death. :thumb:

I never have thought he's bad. He's not great, far from bad though. IMO

Yes! They are in Chicago, I might go, unless Arsis and Necrophagist get some Chicago dates :mad:

I used to like Reign In Blood and Seasons the best, these days it's Show No Mercy FTW.

:( When I saw them, I was expecting Tom to be able to hit that note. This was before I'd seen any live footage of them, and I didn't know he couldn't. Too bad he can't hit it anymore.

How old is he now? 30-ish?

Late 30's I would think.

I need to watch War At The Warfield soon.

[QUOTE=I'm Charming]I need to watch War At The Warfield soon.[/QUOTE]
I heard Tom's vocals were horrible on there.

Yeah, they aren't great on WATW.

But then again they've been no good since 1990, and even on Seasons and SOH they weren't the best. :-|

Poofy, aren't you Canadian?

[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]Yeah, they aren't great on WATW.

I only like a few of the songs off their newer albums.

Overt Enemy(actually one of my favorites of theirs), Bloodline, Disciple, Cast Down, Devience, Bitter Peace, Screaming From The Sky and a couple others.

I know they play E flat on the older stuff but the newer albums sound like they could be downtuned. Maybe it's just the totally different, much heavier tone?

I don't know what they went to on Diabolus in Musica, but they went all the way to B on God Hates Us All.

Bitter Peace is actually a pretty good song.

Crap man, this whole time I've been thinking you were Canadian. Well then, nevermind.

I know for a fact they tuned down further than E flat on GHUA. I'm not sure about Diabolous.

haha no problem :)

Both albums sound tuned down. It takes away from what they used to sound like though. I don't know, it doesn't work for me.

Im pretty sure the tuning is C#...i think...

Oh don't get me wrong on the the CD's he's good but live he's terrible. IMO if a singer can't perform live he's not that good.

[QUOTE=Butcher]I don't know what they went to on Diabolus in Musica, but they went all the way to B on God Hates Us All.

Bitter Peace is actually a pretty good song.[/QUOTE]

I'm not to sure about Diabolous but i think only a few songs are tuned down to C. And they're are Disciple, God send death, bloodline, Here comes the pain. They're may be others but i don't know for sure. I expected New Faith to be futher down but it's actually in Eflat. :)
