Slayer’s got a new album coming out, Repentless, and they’ve released a track to get people excited. That track is also titled Repentless.
This is some straight up Slayer. The drums are crazy fast, as per usual, and the band sounds tight as hell. There’s even a kickass guitar solo up in there. I love me some kickass guitar solos.
If the whole album matches this level of metal, I am there on day one.
This is crazy amazing. More banjos should be in metal. They’re already fast instruments, so it’s a natural progression into getting it into something more shredtastic. And this guy shreds with his banjo the whole way through. I like the guy playing the spoons at the end too.
Hey so Slayer’s guitarist, Jeff Hanneman, passed away yesterday. So today we’ll be listening to Slayer. As stated by Alex Navarro: “Listen to Slayer. Right now. Listen to it as absurdly fucking loud as you can. Don’t stop until your neighbors complain, or you pass out.”
Here’s Seasons in the Abyss
Then follow the recommended other songs because everyone needs thrash in their life. It’s as important as riboflavin.
You know a song rules when the double kick sounds like a helicopter flying by. Here’s Slayer with Raining Blood. One of the many songs in Guitar Hero 3 that made my arm feel like it was going to fall off.
I’ve been on a thrash metal kick for a few days after being recommended Suicidal Angels. So iPod’s loaded up with them and some Slayer, and now I feel like demolishing a house when I should be writing about stuff at work. According to the Wikipedia, Suicidal Angels are a Greek thrash metal band, continuing to reinforce that you have to look outside of the US to find good current metal.
Anyway, here’s their official video for Bloodbath, with probably the most metal intro of metal. I love me some metal intros, especially when it takes a full minute of shredding before the vocals kick in.
