Synopsis

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. Deluxe version includes a DVD of Playing With Dolls, a 20-minute animated horror short directed by Mark Brooks (Metalocolpyse) and featuring new Slayer music.

CD Reviews

Deluxe Edition is not worth the extra dollars.
Hudson | Greenville, SC | 11/03/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I'm a huge Slayer fan. This album is great, even though it's pretty short, clocking in at under 40 minutes. All Slayer fans will enjoy the album, but no one should buy the "Deluxe Edition". The DVD contains a short film called "Playing With Dolls" that is truly terrible. Incredibly amateur film making. For those who are buying the deluxe version to hear the non-album track "Atrocity Vendor", all you get is about a 30 second clip of the song, not the entire thing. The song was omitted from the album, and is simply not available yet. All the videos in the 20 minute film follow this structure, just 30-45 second clips of Slayer's new songs woven in with this horrible film. There are no complete videos or anything, nor any extra bonus features.



Like I said, I love Slayer, and I really like the new album, but you would be much better off buying the standard version for much less money (unless you just want the cool case). Trust me, the 20 minute film is not worth your extra dollars. I expected much more, which is why I gave this product 4 out 5."

"Slayer have once again shown why they are the best. This album is better than Christ Illusion. It's more focused, more aggressive, and more sinister.

It's all here: All-out speed, chugging/moshable grooves, insane guitar leads, Araya's timeless vocals (both gruff and spoken/softer), and the magnificent drum work of the inimitable Dave Lombardo. All of that is meshed together in such a razor-sharp manner, that you can't help but be blown away.



As for the extra DVD...eh. Not such a big deal.



If you've EVER liked Slayer, get this CD now. You will not be dissappointed.

Slayer is, without a doubt, the most consistent and reliable Metal band of their generation.

"This is one of the best Slayer recordings. There are actual songs here and a little diversity in the songwriting. It flies by on the player because it is that good from front to back. Buy it!!"
