Slayer - God Hates Us All
American - 2001
Damien
There has been debate on whether or not Slayer sold out, after hearing the new album "God hates us all", you may have a pretty good idea of the answer. We all remember Kerry King stating in the Inquir article of Guitar World magazine that he uses a 7 string guitar in a few of the tracks. Did he get that guitar from #7 of slipknot? Keep your eyes open, cause next on the merchendise line is a red baseball cap with the slayer logo.
Not to mention Slayer is losing the aggression they once had, so instead of using theyre anger from today's world, they stole the idea of writing lyrics of sacrelige, careful, Glenn Benton of Diecide might burn you. Although Slayer has done that in the past, it never really was as emphisised as much as now. Though i will have to give credit to the traditional Slayer drumming that Paul Bostaph has done a great job of keeping. We all know it's no easy task playing after drum lord Dave Lombardo left the stage. Thanks to Paul, the album still had some of the old Slayer feel to it.
The song "Bloodline", written for the movie "Dracula 2000" was nessecerily placed in the album to satisfy the hunger for good slayer to true metal fans. Had it not been on, then we'd literally starve at metal's dinner table.
So in conclusion to my bashing, I must say that it is very good for Napster that they quit, because it would be surely unbearable when both Slayer and Metallica are teamed up together.
