it says my IP was already currently downloading it..hmmm

can you give us a quick review of the 3 tracks rock?

TheRock · 06-14-2006, 10:18 AM

They are fast, they are aggressive and Slayer sounds pissed the **** off. Lombardo's drumming is probably the highlight of these tracks.

I'm not happy with production as Araya's vocals aren't that good, and are too loud in the mix.

Most of the riffage has a modern sound to it, there are a few headbangable riffs that could easily be used in Speed or Death Metal tracks. Hanneman and King give you more of those Solos that made Slayer famous. ie King's whammy wah-wah solos, and Hannemans shredding, you can just tell its Slayer playing when you hear these solos.

It isn't the old Speed/Thrash/Proto-Death style of Metal from Reign in Blood or Hell Awaits. It sounds somewhat like Divine Intervention era Slayer, with more Speed and Brutality and a modern sound, and possibly a SMALL hardcore influence (stop-start tempo in some riffs, as well as a "breakdown" in the track Cult).

If I had to compare this to other Slayer albums, I'd say it sounds like Divine Intervention with more speed and brutality and better drumming - You can thank Mr Lombardo for that.

Hey The Rock,

Thanks for the downloads. I heard the 'Cult' before, I liked it. Hopefully their new album stays original and can be planned in the gym 24/7.

Peace.

3 songs don't an album make. We'll see if the whole album is the same.

Nice to see they have the dueling solos of yore.

That sucks. My favorite Slayer release is easily Show No Mercy. I did not much care for Divine Intervention

Should have never left in the first place

Disclamer: I have not listened to any of the tracks save for "Cult" so shut the hell up

haha "ironmass exclusive"
anyway, I for one am definitly not pissing away money to these guys anymore. After the abomination that was known as .. *sigh* God Hates Us All, i'm never giving money to Slayer again. I heard one of the songs, and despite not being able to judge from just one song, I thought the song was terrible. The only thrash bands i'll still buy NEW albums from these days are:
Fastkill
Sauron
Nocturnal
Nocturnal Fear
Sacred Reich
Wolfen Reich
Tandus
Exodus
Agh, I have to go now but i'll edit and post the rest later. At school now but will post when I have a chance at home.

You can listen to Cult on their myspace page.

The vocals aren't good at all.

I prefer the old style, Hell Awaits is still my favorite.

Now i'm home.

Other thrash bands i'll buy NEW albums of:
Skitzo
Incinerator
Barbatos
Kings Evil
Beast Petrify
Raped God
Zubirun
Terror Squad
Grim Force
Wounds
Break the Silence
Hirax
Witchburner
Narcotic Greed
Ferscape
The Nomads
Stagnant
Soiltary
Cut Throat
Random Violence
Incriminated
Wasteland
Violator

Sadly probably none of you have had the pleasure of listening to more than 4-5 of those bands that I listed, if that.. I hate to sound like an elitist here or something, but those are all seriously underground bands and none of them are from like the states or england or anything. They mostly all have a teutonic thrash sound to them, and they are all amazing amazing bands. Though of course a few aren't underground, those would be Exodus and Sacred Reich. The only two known thrash bands to this day that I will still support.

EDIT: OH SNAP! And Dark Angel! If they ever produce anything in the future i'll surely get that, and pray that it is as amazing as Darkness Descends. MAN 1986 was a good ass year. And i'll support Sodom/Destruction as well, kind of forgot about them somehow. Got my mind on Maylasian bands and junk.

I doubt those were my exact words. Raw production is ok. Bad mixing is not. Any other irrellevant arguements you wanna start?

Hell Awaits is easily their best. Followed closely by Reign in Blood and Show No Mercy. If I had to give this latest album a number rating based on those 3 tracks (which are radio edits), it would be 65/100. Compared to Hell Awaits which I'd give 90/100 to.

I don't like number ratings, but it is easier than posting a 500 word essay. So I'll make an exception this one time...

Chosen one, are you name-dropping again?

**The Chosen One** · 06-16-2006, 06:14 AM

Whats name dropping? And does it have to do with homosexuality?

I quite remember the convo, I could go back and check the chat logs :sneaky: but it went something like this:

-Me (commenting on an album and/or track you had sent me): You seem to only like stuff with terrible production quality
-You: Production quality doesn't matter
-Me: I guess, but not when it sounds like someone is crumpling paper in the background
-You: Like Moonblood
*Converstation shifts to discussiong as to why Moonblood release their albums on Vynil to be "kvlt" as you put it.

This really doesn't have to do with anything, I just like rustling your feathers.

builtbeast · 06-16-2006, 12:30 PM

His conversations with me are much different, I wouldn't be able to post them here.
