Description

Two-time Grammy winning Slayer have been described as one of the great American rock bands of the last 30 years. Their membership of The Big Four Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax the four bands that defined the thrash metal genre secures their place in music history. Indeed, few bands come close to matching the intensity that Slayer brings to its live shows. With songs that mirror the turmoil and aberrations of our society Gods terrifying global genocide, the chaos of our broken political system, the hideous minds of serial killers, Slayer remain crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream. Slayers founding member Jeff Hanneman passed in 2013 and Exodus guitarist Gary Holt has been filling in since. Paul Bostaph , who was Slayers drummer from 1994 2001, has rejoined bassist/vocalist Tom Araya and guitarist Kerry King, and is back behind the kit.

Repentless (originally released in 2015) was SLAYERs first new studio album since 2009s critically-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated World Painted Blood. The twelve songs were produced by Terry Date and recorded between August 2014 and mid-January 2015 at Henson Studios in Los Angeles. The bands rabid fans had already had a taste of whats to come via the frenetic Implode (offered in its demo form as a free download) and the limited Record Store Day release of the haunting When The Stillness Comes, which sold-out in a matter of hours. However, the albums centrepiece is the title track. Repentless is my Jeff tribute, says Kerry King. I call it the HannemAnthem. Its my perspective of Jeffs perspective, its what I thinkif Jeff wrote a song for himself Repentless would be it.
