SLAYERıS DECREE: GOD HATES US ALL
Thrash/punk/metal kings SLAYER are set to unleash their eighth studio
album Tuesday, September 11 on American Recordings. Entitled "God Hates
Us All", the album was recorded last winter at The Warehouse Studios in
Vancouver, and was produced by Matt Hyde, who also produced the Slayer
track "Bloodline" for the "Dracula 2000" soundtrack.
Originally set for a July release, American Recordings owner and
producer Rick Rubin took two of the tracks into the studio and remixed
them. The band was so happy with the results, it was decided that Rubin
would remix most of the remaining tracks, hence the later release
date.
"They sound amazing," said Slayer's Jeff Hanneman of the tracks. "Rick
gets this great bass drum sound that only he can get. This album has
the sound of 'Reign in Blood,' and 'South of Heaven,' the clarity of
'Seasons in the
Abyss,' and is as intense as any Slayer album."
"God Hates Us All" is already getting rave reviews -- the UK's Kerrang!
called it "...the ugliest, most visceral and consistently grim Slayer
album in many years. And as any true Slayer fan will know, this is a
supreme compliment." Writer Steffan Chirazi continued that you
"instantly feel that
legendary Slayer G-force; crushing mid-paced riffs, hernia-inducing
drums, and a vocal that's part hell and part desperation, all captured
in the sort of sound that's so sharp and stark you could use it to slice
through concrete." Spinıs reviewer Ian Christie wrote, "within these
simpler songs
are nerve-twitching variations and muscular micro-pauses that dance with
predatory grace. The only dark lords [Slayer] worship are
themselves."
Over the past year, Slayer has been busy contributing tracks to outside
projects, including "Bloodline" for the "Dracula 2000" soundtrack, "Here
Comes the Pain" and "Hand of Doom" for the Black Sabbath tribute album,
and for "Test", the World Wrestling Federation compilation, the song
"War Zone."
Slayer will tour the world extensively in support of "God Hates Us
All."

No mention of the fact their record company split with their former distributor. This would also account for the delay.

This is not necessarily a compliment!
Slayer rule!
