Slayer - God Hates Us All (American)
My Rating 4 of 5 Chromosomes I have been put off a little bit by Slayer for the last 2 CD's since Divine Intervention, I thought
they had lost there edge, and there anger, that thing that makes them Slayer the ruling Black Sabbath of Extreme/ Death Metal and also the eldar statesmen to the genre. God Hates Us All starts with a little LO-Fi riff and
screaming and chanting which sets up the first song very well because you are waiting just a minute more to see if they are gonna be SLAYER! or Slayer. And they come out all guns blasting Hanneman and King blasting thru a
lightning flash of no less than 4 riffs in the first 30 seconds. Disciple is a killer track, and Tom Araya is at his 100 words per minute screaming finest in awhile. Hail Slayer are back and pissed again, and ready to lay
waste again. Paul Bostaph is at the sticks again and pounding the out some of the best double barrelled beats, cymbal rides and fills out there. Which brings me to the tracks Exhile, Disciple, Warzone, Payback and are
the most old Slayer fast and furious tracks on the CD, sheer pit desolation material. They also have some of the groovy stuff they have done moreso lately like Seven Faces, Deviance and Bloodline being the best to me.
Really there isn't to much to say, if you have heard any Slayer it is like Diablos and Reign in Blood interwoven into each other. It is eerie and epic sometimes and just sheer sonic dismemberment at a million miles an
hour. Welcome back Slayer and ascend your throne once again as the still living grandfather's of Death Metal. |
