Slayer performs on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'

Although I don't particularly like Jimmy Fallon's brand of humor, I do appreciate that he isn't afraid to have metal acts perform on his show (it seemed like Conan used to do this a lot too in this timeslot). Granted, Fallon probably doesn't book the bands, but I imagine he might have some say in the matter.

Check out Slayer's performance of "Hate Worldwide" below off the album World Painted Blood. I haven't actually listened to that record in awhile, so maybe I'll give it another spin.

Dave Lombardo v. The Taxi

I enjoy me the new Slayer as much as I enjoy me some drunken hijinks. Listen to legendary drummer Dave Lombardo tell the tale of the Taxi Tackler.



Slayer: "Snuff"
If you like it support the band and buy: World Painted Blood

Friday Rocks

So does the newest Slayer track "Hate Worldwide". World Painted Blood will soon be here.

More Slayer Leaks Online: "World Painted Blood"

Another track has leaked off World Painted Blood and is available on the Slayer's MySpace.

I think that the new song is definitely cooler than "Hate Worldwide" and "Psychopathy Red", although the production still doesn't sound all that great to me (curse you Greg Fidelman!).

I know bands like capturing that "raw" sound, but I think Seasons in the Abyss and South of Heaven had better production than this.

Anyways the song itself is an epic five-minute track that has a slower groove to it. I'm digging all the variations in riffing going on and the usual chaotic solos.

Decibel gave the album a 9/10, so I'm looking forward to hearing the whole thing on November 3.

Slayer Unveil "World Painted Blood" Album Cover

Four limited edition covers that form together to make a bloody world map. The album is called World Painted Blood. Get it?

Collect them all.

Speaking of blood I had this song stuck in my head earlier today. It's called "Bloodline" off of God Hates Us All. An album that has some good tunes, but shitty production (this video sounds better than the CD).

Slayer Releases Another Track: "Hate Worldwide"

You can check out the new Slayer song "Hate Worldwide right here.

Is it just me or do the guitars sound a bit too "happy" for Slayer??? The tune is another short number in the vein of "Psychopathy Red". It's not bad, but "Seasons" part II this is not (I'm only saying that, because that's what the band compared it to). Plus the production feels a little weak.

"Hate Worldwide" will be available for purchase at Hot Topic stores tomorrow as a single, while "World Painted Blood" is due out later this year.

UPDATE: Song available below.

Slayer and 3 Inches of Blood Album Info

Today both Slayer and 3 Inches of Blood announced the titles of their forthcoming albums.

Slayer's new CD is entitled "World Painted Blood" and should be out sometime late summer. The album is being produced by Greg Fidelman, who received some criticism after working on Metallica's "Death Magnetic". Kerry King said that the record's songwriting was split about 50/50 between him and fellow axe-slinger Jeff Hanneman, which sounds good to me. Hanneman is an underrated guitar player and talented songwriter.

"Psychopathy Red" has been out for awhile now, but you can get in another listen below for a taste of the new CD.



I also found this video on YouTube labeled as Slayer performing a new single on the Henry Rollins Show which made me laugh. The headbanging in the beginning to the music is pretty awesome.



As for the new 3 Inches of Blood album, that one is going to be called "Here Waits Thy Doom" and it should be out on September 8. This will be an important CD for the band's career, so hopefully they can put together some good catchy metal music.

"Advance and Vanquish" is still the band's best in my book, but "Fire Up the Blades" had some good tunes as well (see below).
