Because where SLAYER draufsteht because even SLAYER's inside. This statement has more than two decades its validity, and can be logically apply also to the brand-new 11-tracker of the American thrash institution. Less than 3 years after the energetic "Christ Illusion" are Tom Araya & consorts times back, and dive the world into a bloody red. "World Painted Blood" is the name of the new SLAYER-violence, of the total Headbanger community duly ass will spank. And this without any compromises !!! Already the first runs of the 40-minute short is striking that the songs move continuously at a very high level, without a song would fall high. This was my opinion that is the problem with some music predecessors (especially with "Diabolus in Musica" and "God Hates Us All"), on which also always some weaker songs were represented. And even if SLAYER with "World Painted Blood" in terms of songwriting again not able to build on old feats as "Reign in Blood" or "Seasons in the Abyss", so know collectively convince especially the new songs. Should read: On the disc a few tracks are strictly represented, which could pick out as absolute highlights. For convince SLAYER with "World Painted Blood" recently over the entire album distance, where the little lahmarschigen "Americon" is merely a small depth hanger there again. The remaining shells move all without exception on gutklassigem level - and without a song would tower above the other. So we come now to the music ... and here too let SLAYER course second to none the forefront of progress. So the four murderers have finally rediscovered their taste for wutschnaubende, energetic thrash projectiles back that are down geballert in merciless ICE pace. Seriously, as brutal as in "Public display of dismemberment", "Hate Worldwide" and peppered with deadly riffs double "Unit 731" and "Snuff" SLAYER were long gone. It is remarkable in every respect, that drum god Dave Lombardo again an impeccable performance delivers, and even masters the most ferocious blast beats with the sovereignty of his own. The six string Group to Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman convinces with incredibly raw "guitar-shredding" without the SLAYER own precision would suffer. The ad published in advance "Psychopathy Red" includes even some of the craziest and most demanding guitar parts of the younger band history. In grenades like "Beauty Through Order", "Human Strain" (! Cool) and the variable opening track "World Painted Blood" the pace will initially be slightly throttled - which again gives some songs an extra punch! - Before then towards the end of the merciless Thrash lobe is unpacked again. Sic! And since the rest of the songs ("Playing with dolls" and "Not of this world") can maintain the high overall level easy when you can tell that SLAYER have sent a worthy successor to "Christ Illusion" in the race finally only. In a direct comparison of my predecessor but perhaps more like a little tick. All in all, "World Painted Blood" but become a thoroughly enjoyable album that especially in width can persuade, and which is still fun even after the umpteenth pass. Buy !!!
