The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
Repentless is the twelfth and last(?) album by Slayer. You should never say never of course but I find it highly improbable that they will ever release more music under the Slayer moniker. Kerry King made a solo album a couple of years ago – From Hell I Rise, which sound kind of like slayer but still not. Jeff Hanneman died in 2013 which means that Kerry King is the sole writer of the music...
World Painted Blood is Slayer’s eleventh studio album. Music-wise, it is a direct continuation of the previous album, Christ Illusion. Dave Lombardo has never been better behind the drum kit; I really love his drumming on World Painted Blood. But of course, even if the drums are very important on Slayer’s albums, there are other ingredients that must be fulfilled. World Painted Blood is more dynamic-sounding than anything released from the band in a long...
Christ Illusion is the tenth studio album by the Thrash Metal band Slayer. On this it sounds like they have come back full circle to their best sides. Well, almost full circle because there’s no way in hell the greatest albums from the band can be topped or replicated. But Christ Illusion comes close. You can clearly hear the same kinds of scales and harmonies as on Seasons in the Abyss and South of Heaven....
God Hates us All is the ninths Studio album by Slayer. It pointed the band back into direction it once came from. There’s not that experimental feel that Diabolus in Musica contained. Gone are the Nu Metal tendencies and back are the harmonies we all loved from South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we have a bunch of eternal classics residing on the album. I think the God...
Diabolus in Musica is the eighth studio album by Slayer. The title is in laten av translates to something like The Devil in music. It refers to the “evil” dissonance in the tritone interval. The most famous example for such a interval ought to be the intro to Black Sabbath legendary song by the same name. In my ear this is a sound that sound pretty awesome. I guess the guys in Slayer thought about...
Undisputed Attitude is by far my least favorite album by Slayer. It’s an album full of covers, well mostly covers. There is one original track, the last song on the Album – Gemini, which was written by Kerry King and Tom Araya. There are also a couple of leftovers from a side project by Jeff Hanneman, bothj written by him. Undisputed Attitude is perfectly named. It’s full speed and brutal with really angry lyrics. It’s...
Divine Intervention is the sixth studio album by the American Thrash Metal band Slayer. I think it might have been my introduction to the band as I was attending the live show of this tour here in Sweden. Of course. I also acquainted my self with the earlier albums at this point but I think Divine Intervention was the first album I ever bought with Slayer. In hindsight, I couldn’t have had a worse entry...
Seasons in the Abyss is the 5th studio album by Slayer. It seems to me that they started to find a home with this album. They did the first two albums – Show No Mercy and Hell Awaits where they started to discover their sound. They did the masterpiece Reign in Blood and the follow-up Sount of Heaven where they started to do more social commentary stuff. The songs were slower than the furious Reign...
South of Heaven is the 4th studio album by Slayer. It doesn’t have the same energy as the previous album Reign in Blood. But then again, there are very few album out there to have that kind of energy level. But it’s unfair to compare the two albums for several reasons. The songs are about other topics than Satanism and those early themes. Which they did just to f**k with people. At least according to...
Reign in Blood is the third studio album by the legendary Thrash Metal Band Slayer. It’s widely considered to be a masterpiece and a cornser stone in the foundation of the genre. I couldn’t agree more. This is the definite Slayer album. There’s not doubt about it at all! Controversy There was a bit of controversy about it though. That’s an understatement of course. According to som sources Reign in Blood was refused distribution because...
Hell Awaits is the second studio album by Slayer. Compared to the debut – Show no Mercy, Hell Waits is much more developed in the song department. It started already on the EP Haunting the Chapel and here they take it one step further. It really starting to sound like slaying now. Tom Arays still tries to sing at occasions but I think he’s starting to find his voice here. The guitars are doing more...
Haunting the Chapel is an EP by Slayer. It contains three or four song demdening on which version you listen to. Nothing strange, it’s quite common that a bonus track is including with a reissue of something formerly released. In this case we get Aggressive Perfector as a bonus. This was also included among the bonus songs on a Show no Mercy reissue. I don’t think it’s their strongest song and it certainly doesn’t top...
