Sounds fecking Great. Carrying on from Christ Illusion which was their greatest CD for many years.

Was it?  :?

I thought Christ Illusion was a big let down after 'God Hates Us All' and 'Diabolus In Musica' which (imo) were their best albums since Reign In Blood.  GHUA is actually my fave Slayer album if push comes to shove.

The new song sounds like a cross between the RIB-era stuff, but also quite remenicent of the 'Undisputed Attitude' album.  Looking forward to it.

To me Christ illusion marked the return of the old Slayer gone is the downtuning and back is the high speed riffs and furious Lombado drumming.  :D

I'm half with HTH on this

+ 1 GHUA is my favourite slayer album

-1  But I think this song sucks.

I dont like christ illusion either. Its just........dull. So very dull.

I think I'm going off slayer, actually. Yes, definately going off slayer.

there are plenty other bands doing the business and for Slayer to be this good all these years down the line is an achievement in itself (Metallica haven't managed it). 

the new Bloodbath album is spot on, and Benediction's new stuff sounds promising too (only heard one track on the Terroriser mag cover-cd).  Napalm are putting out consistently good albums too - the last two are probably my fave stuff and I've been into ND since I was at school in the late 80s.  The new Satyricon album is more of the same too if you liked Now Diabolical (I did).

Its true, they are the only one of the Big Four that havent faltered.

New bloodbath?!?!

Must. Have.

Testament are still rocking, too. I love Formation of Damnation.

Yes, new Bloodbath... I think it's a little too new-school for my tastes. It's good, but it's more like Nightmares Made Flesh and less like Resurrection Through Carnage, and I would've had it the other way.

Still, Akerfeldt and the band are sounding fantastic.

^ +1, what he said.  the new album is nothing like RTC, but thats the only stuff they've done that does sound that way.  it's a shame really as the guitar tone is really quite unique and sets the album apart a little in a genre where many bands can sound samey.

I'm really liking 'Wake Up And Smell The... Carcass' at the minute - must've missed that album when it came out.  Got some good riffage on there, though not typical Carcass stuff (i.e. nothing like Putrefaction).

I remember when that stuff came out when we were at school - the song titles were a source of much amusement.  Righteous Pigs were another similar band (sure Bill Steer was in them).
