It is that, for sure, Joe.
There was a great review of that album when it came out "God hates us all, and the new Slayer album proves just how much"
It's not bad. The bass is a bit higher in the mix than usual, but it does sound much more "Hell awaits" than anything they've done in years. Lyrics are much to articulately sung though. I prefer when Araya barks, spits, gulders and growls meself....
