Tom Araya said in an interview with CBC's "The Hour" that the new album will be called "The Final Six." As previously reported, the album is due out July 25th. "The Final Six" 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", was executive-producer, and Josh Abraham (KORN, VELVET REVOLVER, ATREYU) produced it.

The (unconfirmed) tracklisting has been reported to be as follows:

01. Cult
02. Consfearacy
03. Flesh Storm
04. Jihad
05. Eyes of the Insane
06. Black Serenade
07. Supremist
08. Skeleton Christ
09. Catatonic
10. Final Six
11. Catalyst

The song "Cult" can be streamed in its entirety at Slayer.net. The lyrics and tablature for the album's first single "Cult" are now online at Slayerized.com.

OK, my bad. I removed your company name. When I see several comments on a thread all basically bashing or saying something similar coming from the same IP address, it looks an awful lot like spam.

BACK TO TOPIC!!!!

"The Final Six" is an interesting choice - do you think it could be referring to the "number of the beast" [ 666/616/whatever it is these days ] ?? I don't know if those numbers are supposed to stand for something, or what for, or anything like that, though, so if it IS referring to the beast's number, what does it MEAN?? as I said, interesting choice...

Geez you have to be from Chicago Korndork. Probably a card carrying member
of the Disturbed street team what a nerd. You should go to myspace and check out
some bands from your area like Forest Of Impaled, Grand Belials Key, Torg, Psychomancer
(close they live in Michigan City In), you have a real metal scene up there take advantage of it.

You wont see me going to someother bands page on metalunderground saying that they suck, its just rude.

irrivative drivell, music is composed on multiple levels and planes, et al aesthetic, structural, etc. to judge a band on opinion is the height of human arrogance. chord progression, templates and theory help exponentionaly, however merit and the means to an end is the pentultimate governance. dave lombardo , with concurrent return, will add to the overall gestalt of the new album . corpus edimus, ave satnans.
