"With this new album," added King, "Tom, Paul and I put all of our ideas out on to the table, working in a more collaborative way toward the ultimate heavy outcome. And there are a few more of Jeff's songs that we might record and release in the future." Everything but the vocals had been completed, so we did the vocals and it's done. There will be a song written by Jeff on the new album. You can tell by the quality of his songwriting that this was his passion. It's also the first Slayer album without the presence of founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman, athough a Hanneman-penned song is on the final track listing.Īccording to Araya, "Jeff had always been writing and demoing songs, even up until shortly before he passed. The new album marks the first time Slayer has worked with producer Terry Date (Slipknot, Soundgarden, Deftones), Bostaph's return to the Slayer recording line-up since God Hates Us All (9-11-2001), and Holt's first appearance on a Slayer album. But we really like it, and I don't think the fans are going to be disappointed." "In the past, our fans have always known what to expect, this time they don't. "The new album sounds like Slayer," said Araya. The 12-track Repentless is, according to those who have heard it, a sonic assault of brutal, ominous, lightening-fast and heavy-as-hell music with lyrics that unmask what Slayer knows best - the terror, the corruption and the societal turmoil that dominates our world. For the album, "Implode" was completely re-recorded from the ground up, and "When The Stillness Comes," used as an instrumental track in a Scion commercial, got a revamped intro and all new vocals. For an hour and 15-minutes, Slayer heavily pummeled the audience with brutal riffs that came faster, faster and faster still."įollowing Slayer's studio sessions in March 2014 that yielded the track "Implode," Slayer recorded on and off between September and mid-January at L.A.'s Henson Studios. ".the quartet lived up to why its name is shouted like a mating call to get fellow headbangers pumped before a show. That everybody expects while still managing to blow everybody’s mind.” “More than 30 years after forming, Slayer continues to deliver the show
