Slayer Album Update

Rolling Stone released an article on April 16th about Slayer's upcoming yet-to-be-named full-length. Kerry King, the main speaker in the article, commented basically saying how "fast" it will be and how it even surprises him. The article mentions working song titles such as "7-String" and "Drop B", and it states that the band is hoping for a summer release.

Check out the full, two-page article here:

This could be good, possibly great, possibly amazing. There's really no way to know. Wait 'till it comes out to judge.

To be honest I haven't listened much to their stuff released after 1994.

Hey SoH11, just cause the song titles suck... doesnt mean the album will. Also those are WORKING titles, which means they're not the final names.

Don't mean to burst your bubble Grant but Slayer played in drop-B on several of the songs on Christ Illusion.

Ha ha true true. I don't care what anyone says, this album is gonna rule. Christ Illusion was kick ass, so of course I have high hopes for this one.

Ya dude, I know. Wrote "working song titles" in the news article.

I know some songs like Eyes of the Insane were Drop B. I'm only worried because it was Kerry saying it, and well, Kerry has become terrible at writing songs as of late. I'm more worried about them using a 7-string guitar...This Message Edited On 04.23.09

i don't like it when bands like Slayer are shocked because they are playing "fast". Christ Illusion was "fast" for the sake of it and it wasn't even better than Diabolus in Musica, not to mention Seasons in the Abyss. Slayer have done some very cool slower stuff.

I don't think this will be worth my time. Slayer has always sucked to me. Their pre 1994 stuff was always decent, and then they started sounding the exact same with every album after Divine Intervention. Christ Illusion wasn't bad however.
