Much more important is that Slayer build with their tenth album, "Christ Illusion", her style formative masterpiece "Reign In Blood" (1986) and Lost diverse publications make weak können.Obwohl some songs from "Christ Illusion" already two to five years older ("Catalyst" was meant for the predecessor), the band sounds fresher than ever. Content as always not mince words taking (in "jihad" of course is about the attacks of 11 September 2001), Slayer supply from a good album, which is based on the usual trademarks and therefore should meet the expectations of fans. Offering varied riffing impressive hardness and the usual evil phenomenon, it is the perfect appetizer for the upcoming tour.
And if one considers the new Slayer CD into their hands, steals a feel a certain familiarity. This is the first album of Slayer in the original lineup since "Seasons In The Abyss" - and exactly like Slayer communicate with their cover artwork identical at first glance too. The typical, drawn artwork of "Christ Illusion", which looks as if it were due to the character of a child arts, draws a line under the slightly more advanced design artwork the last Slayer albums. Much friends will not make Slayer so well - but that they do not want too.
And Why Tom Araya's voice is bearable, no one knows for sure, and the more sophisticated music lovers who also appreciate Slayer, puzzle for over 20 years around it, why in spite of this unbearable bad, atonal and antimelodiösen voice repeatedly Slayer CDs attacks. This puzzle will not be solved, even "Christ Illusion" is no answer. Only good thing is clear why Dave Lombardo is still the best Metal drummer, and why Kerry King can operate a guitar. This means that three quarters of the riddle of Slayer solved! Quickness and hardness are, as promised, the right tags for the new disc of Thrash Metallaner. But what can I tell you about the big-hard riffs of the duo King / Hanneman or the uncompromising speed, go with those Slayer to work? Who has not experienced the typical guitar solos Hanne Mans or the relentless drum work LombardoŽs Needless to say that Slayer bring their technical skill to the point - without that the songs overloaded to playful sophistication wirken.Erwähnenswert, however, is that between pressure wave-like hardness and relentless speed "slower" (ie slow tracks for the band itself, because a slow song of Slayer hättŽich like to hear) tracks found their way to the plate. Tracks like "Black Serenade" or "Eyes Of The Insane" dig in properly and become lodged in the ear canal. For the production of the new album Josh Abraham was in charge, accompanied by Rick Rubin. And since all good things come in threes, we sat next to Lombardo and Rubin also with Larry Carroll on old acquaintances. This also designed already the cover of "Reign In Blood", "South Of Heaven" and "Seasons In The Abyss". Today he is responsible for the visual carnage on "Christ Illusion" (which is behind the visible here cover, this is just a picture of what is done about it, but you can lose weight by buying the CD and then watch), which in California already caused protests from conservative circles. The motif itself refers to a line of text in "Cult" What we arrive at the lyrics that as usual the themes of war, hatred and religious cover ("Jesus is a bloodbath.") -. And topical issues. "Religion is Hate, religion is
Fear, religion is a was ... "brüllsingt Tom Araya in the song" Cult ".The predecessor" God Hates Us All "was released, ironically, on 11 September 2001, with" jihad "describe Slayer turn this event from the perspective of a suicide bomber. That they thus go on thin ice, you know his own words !!! Too much criticism is likely to be spared Slayer, musically speaking, even though this album for people aged 30 is probably nothing at all, I myself was also very surprised about this brutal hardness that still has a tune, and I gefälltŽs einfach.Und after me but after some time were a bit "too slow" become MetallicA then, this was just the thing to fear right again !!! And The interlocking of the bursting of hardness and speed numbers and with some slower pieces they create an intense album that is simply not boring. So if you want to leave once again knock the convolutions soft relish to then unaware, but happy, from the laundry look, this is the place.
