Slayer Finish Recording New Album
Band Photo: Slayer (?)
For the most part, SLAYER — Tom Araya (bass, vocals), Kerry King (guitars), Jeff Hanneman (guitars), and Dave Lombardo (drums) — have finished recording tracks for their as-yet-untitled new album due out this fall, and will begin the mixing process this week. This album is the first new studio album since 1990's "Seasons In The Abyss" that features the entire original SLAYER lineup (drummer Lombardo left the band in 1992 and rejoined in 2003). Rick Rubin, who helped solidify the much-emulated SLAYER sound beginning with their genre-defining 1986 classic "Reign In Blood", is executive-producing, and Josh Abraham (KORN, VELVET REVOLVER, ATREYU) is producing. Working songtitles include "Catalyst", "Cult", "Supremist", and "Consfearacy".

Slayer and Mastadon were worth counting...Lamb of God...meh, SLAYER!!
and Broken Face...dude. Slayer havnt disappointed yet, and how long have they been going? there's so minimalistic a chance that they would go metallica-style now, after all these yeas of solid metal output, that there's just no point bothering to wonder if the release will be good or not. we already know it'll break all hell loose. and with Rubin executive-producing, i think it's safe to say this'll be one of the biggest selling metal (nu-metal bs not included) albums of the year. contending, obviously, with Tool's new effort.
OH HELL YEAH THIS IS THE BEST f***IN NEWS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can relate brokenface. I don't think they will ever sell out metallica style, but I can't help worry a bit that this release may not stand up to the hype. First, Paul is gone and Dave is back. Now I'm the first to admit that Dave is a legend and played a major influence in the evolution of metal; however, Paul is the man( just listen to shovel headed kill machine). Second, I'm always weary when something gets pushed back multiple times. Last, Tom is having a hard time with his vocals. I hope i'm wrong.
Metallica sold out
Pantera pwn every band ever, so that doesnt really count
Black Sabbath are all deaf, let's hear them make good music now (a pity, really)
Iron Maiden are gods of the oldschool, but I'd listen to Slayer over them any day
Judas Priest introduced power chords and such, but Slayer clearly wins
Megadeth - please. they'r worse than metallica (well, metallica's OLD albums, anyway).
oh, and all that Good Charlotte owns is a blow-up doll of a man...probably of Kerry King or Tom Araya, since they'r so manly and all.
on the topic, sevenchurches is actually a pretty good name - if you dont know why, then you dont know your oldschool music at all, my friend.
wow a lord agony for slayer great, 1 u r a f***en dipsh** not to recognize slayer's talent its one thing to say u dont like them but to say they blow ur a f***in fag, 2 only fags refer to themselves as a 3rd person, 3 no one on ur list above in post 28 own slayer except the older albums of megadeth and metallica, 4 u dont know metal history if sevenchurches is a bad name to u ever heard of possessed? and 5 coco is the sh**tiest name on this entire site and master of puppets (which happens to be my fav. album of all time) is a kick a$$ song and album dipsh**
cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
it is easy to compare u with lord agony except he hated a sh** band u hate an amazin band u both did annoyingly long posts bout how much u hate the band mostly stuff bout how the band must be destroyed and all he cared bout was annoyin the fans, the other differences is that he was smarter then u and he can atleast spell and doesnt say stuff like me just defendin my thought or watever, slayer pantera and lord agony own ur ass
aight coco, what the fuhckk is wrong with you, get off of this site, what are you, some 16 year old preppy boy that cuddles with mommy so she will buy you some abercrombie and fitch, lacoste, hollister, american eagle, polo shirts?
lets face it, slayer has proven themselves as being one of the the top metal bands in history, and there still going!, youve gotta respect that shhit, they've been around since the beggining, and have written amazing drum solo, heavy fuhckin guitar riftss, amazing sound, from a amazing band.
so you can go listen to you gayy emo music ( as i lay dying, it dies today, coheed and cambria, good charlotte, sublime),
theres a sale on abercrombie long sleeve polo shirts, maybe you should go check it out - www.abercrombie.com , maybe if you suck up to your mom enough she'll buy some for you, you stupid fuhckin prep
ya coco, i guess if you think slipknot is emo, you have to be one of the most stupidest fuhcks around, like for christ sakes, i guess you have never listened to -pulse of the maggots, duality, before i forget, scream, etc etc.
ya, i guess your right slipknot is emo... knot
lick your moms c u n t you preppy 16 year old
cut this ****in' crap off this forum. coco,if it takes to admit that u r right to shut ur flapping mouth, then so be it, u r right in ur own mind,ok, now happy?ur kiddish, straight to the c*** thought process has been deciphered down to the feiry pits of hell. don't vent ur frustation so desperately that u end up making a joke of urself, which u've eventually did. take that dead skin mask off ur sullen brain and come to terms wid this fact that slayer is a benchmark for nervewhacking heavy/thrash metal music.
i've got only 2 more words 4 u, it's a sincere advice, it's a much needed bloodline 4 u---GROW UP.
please don't write with numbers in your words. if you know 1337, i'v got no problem with that, but trying to look like a cool "sk8er" or whatever really isnt cool at all. Not attacking you, just try and type properly for the rest of us, please. you'll find you tend to get a lot more respect, too.
seriously coco, you need to cut out the gay stuff, everything you say is c o c k sucker, and f u c k ed in the ass, being gay, just because you're scared of who you are doesn't mean you have to act like b****, but i will admit the sh** you say does make me laugh.
to bee a guy named coco just tells me one thing only. truly a fa**ot. u say u r not ignorent, well by what ive read so far it tells me that u r a hippocrite.(that means your ignorent, and stupid i might add) one thing i always say: your either a slayer fan, or a metallica fan. other than old school metallica fans most metallica fans wouldnt know what TRUE metal was if it punched them right in the throat. and plus who here wanted to know ur opinion? i know i sure as hell didnt. "oh, slayer sucks!" why dont you do the world a favor and hang yourself in your closet. and stay in there. dont come out. fa**ot.
and you say all this sh** about old metal not returning, open your fuc_in eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!! anyone can see in the midst of all this hard core emo bullsh_t true metal is comeing back with it. have you ever heard of a little band called obituary? who just came out with a new cd and is in the middle of touring? have you ever heard of the haunted? and the like hundred other old school metal bands that are reforming? its because heavy music is ultamitley making a HUGE comeback. this time with the diversity of sounds that is in heavy music it will never die down again. metal has never been dead. not if you live, breath, and believe in true pure fuc_ing metal..........
i'm going to disagree with ONE point, and one point only - it IS possible to be a fan of both Metallica AND Slayer simultaneously. I am. hell, I even like metallica's newer stuff, though not anywhere near as much as, say, MOP or AJFA. Don't think I've ever heard a Slayer song I havn't liked, much less an album, too.
Oh, and for the record, change your name - calling yourself fuc_coco just gives coco more attn. and that is pretty much the last thing I want coco to have.
first, to the point. it's about time for some new stuff from slayer, can't wait. also agree with post 68, lot of good sh** out there that needs more exposure. now sying all that one thing needs to be dealt with. COCO, OH COCO, COME OUT AND PLAY!!!!!!!!! you little piece of sh**, who do you think you are any way? first of all, your not old enough to remember the good old days of metal, but maybe you could ask your mom, cause i was f***in her while black sabbath, judas priest, iron maiden, uriah heep, rainbow, deep purple, ronni james dio, ozzy, krokus, van halen (first album!), and countless others that i cant remember cuase i've fried too manybrain cells, were playing. the best part of you, coco, ran down the crack of your mama's c** filled ass. dont bother with your usual "cocksucker, d***s in the ass, blowjobs, ECT>>>>>> comebacks, all you have to do is take any 1 of your posts and just change the names, cause all YOUR sh** sounds the same. so come on with it and we'll just get pure evil with your stupid ass!!!!!! HIMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (better ask somebody first, though)
Slayer puts out great albums, put on great shows (because they don't do a lot of theatrics and props and crap...the music speaks for itself) and even if you don't like them, give credit where credit is due. Slayer is one of the founding bands in metal and without them and other bands of that time, we wouldn't have the metal scene we do now. COCO...chew on a rocket launcher, OK pal? I mean, it is large and phallyc-shaped...so it's right up your "alley". So to speak, of course.
COCO PUFF, LISTEN HERE SON, I KNOW YOURE TRYING TO PISS EVERY ONE OFF ON PURPOSE.-EVERYONE IS ON TO YOU. WE ALL KNOW YOU LISTEN TO GREENDAY AND LIMP DIZKIT AND ALL THAT TYPE OF sh**. YOU CARRY AN I-POD AND GET YOUR HAIR DONE AT THE SALON. YOUR DADDY MAKES A sh** LOAD OF MONEY AND IF YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO GO TO THE SHOWS, YOURE THERE FOR THE FASHION. I'M WITH STORM HAMMER- GIVE CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE, GO OUT AND BORROW " RAINING BLOOD " FROM A REAL METALHEAD( IF YOU HAVE THE BALLS TO GET NEAR HIM) LISTEN TO IT , AND GO SLIT YOUR WRISTS IN YOUR GARDEN BATH TUB WITH YOUR MACH 3 . I DARE YOU TO TELL A SLAYER FAN WHAT YOU WROTE RIGHT TO HIS (OR HER) FACE -----THEY WILL BEAT YOUR GLAM LOVING a$$ TO f***!!!!
THIS IS TO EVERYONE ELSE WHO LOVES TECHNICAL MUSIC: IF YOU HAVENT YET, GO BUY THE NEW CANNIBAL CORPSE ALBUM "KILL" IT WILL TEAR YOUR f***IN HEAD OFF!!!!!!

hey coco, it's about time to let you know whats up. i'm drunk, f***ed up and would kick your 15 year old a$$ if we were face to face. first of all, learn how to spell. the way you post only shows how stupid you really are. your parents didn't raise you right, thats the problem, second, your obssesed with d***, come out of the closet and admit your gay, quit callin your boyfriend a b****, and join a gay web site so that you can talk about anal sex with others like you. (teenage gay boys). third, actually try to listen to metal, instead of boy george, george m icheals, elton john, and frankie goes to hollywood. your gay lifestyle, although it doesn't offend me it bores me., no one wants to have to read your repeating, long, same old sh** posts. you are a waste of oxegyn and an extreme embarassment to society, who wishes you were dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have nothing worthwhile to say, and you have not the capability to come up with an original, intelligent thought, anyway. keep your mind on your 8th or 9th grade issues and leave talking about deep topics to the adults.. keep this in mind, NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK, NO ONE GIVES A sh** ABOUT YOU, INCLUDING YOUR ENTIR, AND I MEAN ENTIRE, FAMILY, NO ONE WANTS TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE WASTE OF SPACE YOUR POSTS TAKE UP, AND WE HAVE ALL FALLEN BACK A THOUSAND YEARS OF EVOLUTION BY JUST BIENG EXPOSED TO YOU. PLEASE, FOR THE GOOD OF ALL MANKIND, GO AWAY. i would say that i eagerly await your response, but it would be a repeat of one of your previous posts, seeing as you are uncapable of more than one thought a month. so f*** YOU, DIE AND GET f***ED BY A GAY DEMON IN HELL,COCO.........HIMMM!!!!!
oh, im sorry to talk about your butt f***in buddy like that. maybe if you could spit each otherts c***s out of your mouths long enough, between the two of you you might actually come up with something intelligent to say. and read the posts dumb f***, a lot of people have a problem with coco, so suck my big hairy d***. HIMMM!!!!
deathbringer, you emember me and you know that i keep on topics and usually post respectfully, but a$$holes like this coco only respond to one form. do something about this little 15 year old p.o.s. that apparently does nothing but post stupid sh** like this only to piss people off. HIMMM!!!!
took my dog for a walk in the park today, wouldn't ya know it, stepped in a big pile of COCO.. your not even worth the energy anymore dude, your too easy. it's not even fun kicking your a$$ anymore. go on, reply with your usual boring stream of gibberish no one can understand. maybe instead of your incoherent rants you could tell everyone what it was like getting your a$$ kicked and being made a fool of by HIMMM!!!!
on and on and on and on and on and on and on, now i just skip through your posts and i dare you to let people in the real world talk to you cause if you do you will get your a$$ beat like the little b**** you are. and if you hate rap why do you type like they talk maybe you were a test tube baby that got poked in the head alot.
red devil, "AND APPEREARD UNTO ME A DARK FIGURE ON A WHITE HORSE, WITH HELL FIRE ABOUT HIS HEAD, AND THE SOULS OF THE DAMNED ABOUT HIS FEET, WHEN HE SPOKE IT WAS AS THE SOUND OF THUNDER, AND BOLTS OF LIGHTNING SHOT FROM HIS EYES. HE HELD THE KEY TO OPEN THE GATES OF HELL, TO LET LOOSE THE DEMONS, HUNGERING FOR THE TASTE OF HUMAN FLESH, YEA, TO DEVOUR THE VERY SOULS OF THOSE WHO BELIEVED THEMSELVES TO BE RIGHTOUS.
