"Reign in Blood" in the Modern

For a long time the metal ears were faced with no more weighty burden, but in 2006 it happened that the thrash cronies Tom Araya, Kerry King, Jeff Hanneman and Dave Lombardo catch up with us with new fuel. "Christ Illusion" is the title of her new work in a traditional way and again a pure predestination for controversial discussions. The provocative cover probably already come across many a critic duly before the head, even if you really expect from Slayer after thirty years otherwise. As indicated by the artwork and the album title suggests, the phonogram concerned mostly with religious extremism. Largely this is to be criticized mainly by the texts, which I have to say that the band in this case too it stiffened convulsively argumentative, challenging and to be "evil". So remember the lyrics in some ways not a serious criticism, but rather on exaggerated pseudo-Satanism fuss. I would have rather often wished for a proper review as. In titles á la "Cult" or "Jihad" is uttered What brings because even eternal "Hail Satan-roar" when the real message does not arrive? Provocation is all well and good, but the lyrics are partly simply exaggerated. Well, on a musical level there is, however, absolutely nothing to complain about! A glaring Monsterriff chases the next, every great guitar solos attaches itself to the following. Completing the sound is additionally through the typical aggressive and unique Tom Araya- "singing".

In my view, is here a really high-quality old-school trash album that sounds fresh and new at the same time. The five years that has left the band for "Christ Illusion" have time, definitely worth it. Musically one can speak here of one of the most sophisticated, but also most uncompromising Slayer CDs. It binds primarily in terms of speed extremely to the roots of the band. There are no slow, melodic pieces - that's his toughest and most uncomfortable Thrash variety. Slayer make any beautiful music, but music that can beat almost any metal heart beat faster. From the texts we can finally deliver what you want. Still, I see "Christ Illusion" clearly deserving 5-star recordings on.
