Free Music Notes for Christ Illusion
Free Music Review: good
Hit: 4 Stars
I love Slayer. You see a mutilated Christ in a pool of blood, and they don't just do it for shock. They do it to make a point, and IMO they make a very accurate point about the world we live in. (Here's a hint: Don't take their lyrics literally.) As usual, the Kerry King tracks and Jeff Hanneman tracks are very obvious. Hanneman has a nasty, brooding style, whereas King has an uber aggressive, thrashy style. Slayer weren't happy when Rick Rubin decided to produce the new Metallica album instead of a new Slayer album (I believe Tom Araya was quoted as calling Metallica a sinking ship...which might be true).
Anyway, it's a good album. I think it has a good balance of slow, brooding songs and brutal, thrashy songs. Tom Araya's voice just gets more menacing every album.
It's music for when you're pissed off. The more angry I am, the more I'm entertained by the album. Some people use metal as (IMO, positive) anthems (see Battery, by Metallica) and some people use it to vent (see Devildriver). Slayer is at the intersection of satire, rage, social critique, and doin' it for the sake of doin' it. (Any song with the words "Hail Satan!" in the lyrics is instantly awesome and metal.)
Christ Illusion Poster
The fastest, heaviest and darkest band on earth retakes its unholy throne with Slayer's first studio album in six years and its first studio effort with the original lineup, including drummer Dave Lombardo, since 1990's Seasons In The Abyss. Produced by Josh Abraham (Velvet Revolver, Staind), music from the album will be first available on June 6, 2006—that's right, 6/6/06.Widely considered to be the most important metal band ever, Slayer has re-affirmed that the opinion with its latest album, Christ Illusion. First released last summer, the album sold over 62,000 copies its fist week. Now a very special package of Christ illusion will be re-released that includes the new song "final six", an alternative version of "Black Serenade" PLUS a DVD with nearly 15 minutes of special Live & Tour footage as well as the "Eyes of the insane" video.
