[QUOTE=Apocalyptic Raids]haha.

[B]Slayer influenced them[/B]. Gene Hoglan (DA's drummer) was their roadie in '83-'84. He is one of the people doing the gang vocals on Evil Has No Boundaries.[/QUOTE]

Fuc[I]k[/I] aye. Had me fooled for months.

Same kind of riffs, drums. Just Slayer-like in general.

Yeah. Dark Angel are faster though :p

God, i dunno how many times i've said in this thread that Slayer have said they are coming to europe but not exactly when. Tom Araya said sometime in 'the fall'.

The only reason i would go to Unholy Alliance would be to see Lamb Of God.

That's a nice way to bump the SLAYER thread. :p

Yeah..... lol. Trying to cause some damn conversation.

Necrophobic >>>>>>>> The Burning of Sodom.

Not really, I like that song a lot more than Necrophobic.

[QUOTE]For the most part, Slayer have finished recording tracks for their as-yet-untitled new album due out in the second half of 2006, and will begin the mixing process this week. This album is the first new studio album since 1990's "Seasons In The Abyss" that features the entire original Slayer lineup (drummer Lombardo left the band in 1992 and rejoined in early 2002). Rick Rubin, who helped solidify the much-emulated Slayer sound beginning with their genre-defining 1986 classic "Reign In Blood", is executive-producing, and Josh Abraham is producing. Working songtitles include "Catalyst", "Cult", "Supremist", and "Consfearacy".[/QUOTE]
From Slayersaves.com

[I]Consfearacy[/I].... sounds like a Kerry King song. =/ Not a cool song title rreally. But, [I]Supremist[/I] and [I]Jihad [/I]sound like they might hold up.

What the hell is that?

[QUOTE=Slapping Penguin]All Slayer songs sound the same[/QUOTE]

You can say that about any band.

I disagree.

What's up guys?!

I havent been listening to slayer as of late but I really want to see the Unholy Alliance tour. What a badass lineup!
I've been wanting to see Slayer LOG and COB forever.

What's the latest info on the new album so far?

I uno, go to the site?

:smoke:

Newest info, is they've finished the songs and are mixing them I guess. The album title and release date are still a mystery. I haven't seen you on the forum for about a month. What's been up?

Oh yeah, I read somwhere they had finished the songs. Was it in this thread I saw that? Hmm. Confused.

EDIT:

Yeah, it was lol bout 10 posts up from this one.

:smoke:

I think I'm going to keep my expectations low for the album, so no matter what I won't be disappointed. I hated Diabolus and GHUA was only ok. Maybe this album will beat my expectations.

:lol: @ your icon. Yeah, my expectations are low still though.

My expectations are also low.

well this has been released:
[QUOTE]The last time speed-metallers Slayer released an album's worth of new material, it came in the form of God Hates Us All and arrived on shelves the morning of September 11, 2001.

So bass-wielding frontman Tom Araya understandably feels some apprehension about Slayer's forthcoming, still-untitled disc, which they're still working on in Los Angeles with producer Josh Abraham (Staind, Velvet Revolver). The finished product will be preceded by a digital release on June 6 (making Slayer one of several metal bands who just can't pass up the opportunity for a 6/6/06 release date).

"I'm hoping that whenever it comes out, nothing major happens," Araya said. "It's like, 'I wonder what's going to happen this time around?' "

The CD should surface in late July, he said, and feature the tracks "Cult," "Catalyst," "Catatonic" and "Jihad." At this stage, seven weeks into recording, five of the album's 11 tracks are finished and about to be put through the mixing process. Slayer still need to put the finishing touches on the remaining songs, but Araya expects the band will be finished with everything in the next week or so.

"This album is actually like a culmination of everything we've done," Araya said. "There's one song that I'm thinking will surprise everybody, because of the song itself. I'm not going to say why, because you have to keep that element of surprise, dude. Musically, it's going to blow everybody away. It's going to trip everyone out. It has all the elements of everything we've done. No one's going to be disappointed with this record. It's fast, heavy — maybe faster than anything we've done before. It's going to be brutal. It's what everyone expects from a Slayer record."

A track called "Eyes of the Insane," Araya said, is perhaps the most political song on the album. The song was inspired by an article he'd read in an issue of Texas Monthly magazine.

"The song's about the effects of war on some of these soldiers," he said. "This article — and it was a pretty trippy article — it really affected me. The entire magazine was devoted to soldiers of this new Iraq conflict that's going on. The effect that the war has had on some of these kids who're coming home and having a tough time dealing with what they've seen — I mean, some of these kids are traumatized and mentally destroyed by what they've seen. The magazine also ran an entire list of the soldiers from Texas who've died. It was several pages with pictures of these kids. It blew my mind."

The rest of the album's lyricism is standard Slayer fare: "Hate, religion — that kind of stuff," Araya said.

This summer, Slayer will preview new material on the road as part of their closing set on each night of the Unholy Alliance Tour. The run kicks off June 6 in San Diego and wraps up July 22 in Long Beach, California. Treks in Europe, Japan, Australia and South America will follow.

"For the heavier crowd, you're definitely going to get your money's worth [from this tour]," Araya said.[/QUOTE]

So anyway, I think Haunting the Chapel are now my favoirite Slayer lyrics. And I've noticed how Chapel of Ghouls by Morbid Angel has similar lyrics to Slayer's Haunting the Chapel and Necrophiliac.

/is seeing Slayer in Atlanta on June 25

anyone else going to that show, or any other Unholy Alliance show?

I'm seeing them on 06/06/06. :cool: I would like to see them on their last date as well.

Yeah so that's definite proof it is coming to Europe. When though?

Around the end of the year probably.

^Bah. Why can't it be in the summer! Then i won't have to look forwards to the summer coming to an end!

That's also when they're releasing the new album! :thumb:

I'm pretty excited about it, but I hope they bring their game up a notch because I wasn't too impressed with [I]God Hates Us All.[/I]

Thats awesome haha. I wasnt to impressed with that album as well. It was ok but it wasnt great.

I mean, GHUA was just as generic as metal can get. Generic riffing, generic lyrics, generic everything.

GHUA I didn't even buy. I listened to one of the songs on MTV once, I believe it was blood line, and I thought the vocals were terrible. Tom's voice was too distorted. It sounded terrible, in my opinion.

Yeah, stay away from that album if you can. It's a bad representation of the band.

They need to make another album like South of Heaven and I will be very pleased. I'm really getting into that album more and more these days.

[QUOTE=Butcher]I'm seeing them on 06/06/06. :cool: I would like to see them on their last date as well.[/QUOTE]

Same, first show :thumb: .

So the closing act will be brand new, gonna be one of the lucky ones to hear it first.

Lucky for you guys. Seeing them is good enough for me.

This will be the best metal concert to have been formed in YEARS.

i'm just looking forward Slayer and Mastodon, i don't like Cob and LoG too much and i have never heard the other band.

[QUOTE=heavy metal kid]i'm just looking forward Slayer and Mastodon, i don't like Cob and LoG too much and i have never heard the other band.[/QUOTE]
I love love love every band on the tour (except Thine Eyes Bleed, but they're not going to be on for very long). I've actually never heard them before. Anyone care to tell me what they are like?

Mastodon yeah, they're better than most of the "mainstream" metal bands that are out right now. They have some songs I like. And I'm not really a fan of CoB or LoG.

I just listened to a song called Cold Victim by Thine Eyes Bleed. I was hoping that maybe since Tom's brother is in the band there woulb some Slayer influences maybe? No, it was some HxC Terror, As I Lay Dying stuff. :( I hear his brother used to be in an old school Death metal band called Blood Cum.

Blood Cum? :lol:

So basically the Unholy Alliance tour is making themselves worse by tagging along a metalcore band?

I didnt know that it was toms brother in that band:)

[QUOTE=Crysiss]I didnt know that it was toms brother in that band:)[/QUOTE]
Neither did I. It's probably the only reason why they're on the tour.

Well, They're an alright band as well. Need something to go with the LoG.

I heard some of Thine Eyes Bleed, and I thought that they sounded more like melo-death. Either way I don't care much about the other bands, it's all about Slayer.
