Album Description: Slayer is the premier thrash metal band on the planet. Since 1983 the band has defined a genre and thrived where many have come and gone. Consistently releasing acclaimed albums and delivering brutal live shows, Slayer is a revered and respected fixture in the hard rock/metal landscape now and forever. World Painted Blood is the most vital and exciting metal release in recent memory. Produced by Greg Fidelman and Executive Produced by Rick Rubin (the same team responsible for Metallica's Death Magnetic) the songs are intense and performed at a level only reachable by the masters of their craft. From epic statements like the title track and "Hate Worldwide," to the fast, punk/thrash outbursts of "Snuff" and "Psychopathy Red," to the dark theater of "Beauty Through Order" and "Human Strain" there is nothing backward-looking about World Painted Blood; it's the sound of a band effortlessly earning their relevance in 2010.
Album Description: 2009 release from one of the veteran Metal band. Nine studio albums, thousands of live shows and nearly three decades into a career that's made them one of the biggest and most important Metal bands in the world, the members of Slayer know exactly what kind of music they make: brutal but beautiful, punishing yet precise. A fresh Slayer record is a thing of terror but also one of trust: You can depend on what you're getting even if you're unprepared for it. As guitarist Jeff Hanneman says, ''At this point, I think a Slayer album pretty much speaks for itself.''

Good Stuff!
I will start off by saying if you go with the straight download, then the production of this album could be better. If you change the equalizer settings to fit your taste as I did, then this is a kick-ass Slayer album. Most of the reviews I have read to this point are close and on point; but if you are a Slayer fanatic such as I--- then this IS for you! I don't break down the individual songs, but all are worthy of listening too. Download the album, add a bit more bass to the EQ and feel the drums ... Read More
