Slayer - Back In The Studio
The thrash legends Slayer are back in the studio to record the 11th album of their career. World Painted Blood, their latest output, came out already five years ago. Tentatively set for release in early 2015, this new record will be the first since guitarist Jeff Hanneman's passing and since drummer Paul Bostaph rejoined after Dave Lombardo was kicked off the band. The band has shared some pictures from the studio sessions. Check them out!
The album will be released on Nuclear Blast Records through the band's own label imprint, closing out a 28-year relationship with Rick Rubin and American Recordings.
Now all you can do is wait to hear the final result. Meanwhile, you can always listen to the new song "Implode" released earlier this year as a foretaste.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 01.09.2014 at 16:01 True, he'd rather listens to really shit pop punk (there is some good pop punk out there as well, but he seems to have a penchant towards the truly crappy kind  )But saying the only good Slayer album is Show No Mercy but mentioning Angel Of Death is somewhat strange, don't you agree?

Written by Boxcar Willy on 01.09.2014 at 18:41  In the sense of meaning 25 and saying 25 you're like GodBuster. But he said that 25 is almost 30 and only nipickers would make a problem out of it. At least you admitted the booboo So, all (except for liking crappy pop punk) is forgiven

Written by Lord_Regnier on 02.09.2014 at 03:14 Am I the only one posting here who thinks that that album was already a immense step down?  At the time I regarded it as Slayer's attempt of trying to make it big by watering their music down and becoming way more melodic than needed. Only one or two good songs on that album.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 02.09.2014 at 03:26 Honestly? I think it is their best album. Riffs, variety, production, vocals, everything is as it should be.

The "Big 4" was something created by Lars Ulrich, for those who are arguing. It was an attempt to bring together four of the first american thrash metal bands (and the most successful/ overrated).

Is this really absolutely necessary? Ya know, it's not really as if Slayer have anything left to prove to anybody, they've already secured their spot in the metal history books as one of the most influential bands of all time, at this point (esp. with Lombardo gone and Hanneman dead) continuing on is really just beating a dead horse. People respect em enough already, just call it quits and enjoy your legacy, why don'tcha?

Written by Auntie Sahar on 06.09.2014 at 17:25 I can't really understand that why big bands like Slayer cannot accept the fact that musicians are not like factories, they can't produce more and more products with better quality every year !

Written by Auntie Sahar on 06.09.2014 at 17:25 People have a hard time retiring from something they've done for a long time, especially if they enjoy it - you see it with musicians and athletes mostly. Adjusting to middle age and role changes is a really difficult thing for people to do. It would be nice if they released something of a modern day masterpiece and rode off into the sunset though.

Written by Troy Killjoy on 06.09.2014 at 17:34 Totally understandable. Personally, if I were King or Araya and wanted to continue releasing material, I'd stop putting it out under the name of Slayer, but that's just me. Don't really think that "modern day masterpiece" will happen, but never say never I guess. Also, whatever happened to Araya wanting to retire, anyway? Like seven years back or so, around the time of Christ Illusion, he was like "I can only see myself doing this for like 2, 3 more years" or something along those lines.

I really have high hopes on this one. Only those guys can restore some of the faith lost in recent years.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 02.09.2014 at 03:26 In my opinion, "South Of Heaven" was, to a certain extent, a case of watering down after the extreme "Reign In Blood", especially with those weak vocals. I see "Seasons In The Abyss" more as some kind of return to form after "South Of Heaven".

Written by deadone on 08.09.2014 at 04:26 I don't think SOH is bad at all. I like it. The only part I don't fancy much is the vocals. But when I listen to "Decade Of Aggression", I like the SOH songs as much as any other. As for SOH being better written than SITA, I don't know. Both albums have great songs but also a few weak ones.
