GOD HATES US ALL
By DARRYL STERDAN
GOD HATES US ALL Slayer (American / Universal) Well, maybe He does - but we're sure God hates Slayer just a little more. After all, these California speed-demons have spent two decades working to bring about His downfall. God Hates Us All, their dozenth black mass, finds the fearsome foursome once again committing every musical sin in the Good Book. Sin No. 1: The nail-pierced and blood-spattered Bible on the CD booklet. Sin No. 2: Lyrics like "I keep the Bible in a pool of blood so that none of its lies can affect me" - one of the album's more light-hearted couplets. Sins No. 3 - 24,000: Every second of this hellacious 40-minute musical assault, whose 13 soul-destroying invocations of unquenchable blood-lust lean more toward the psychotic frenzy of Reign in Blood than the bludgeoning trauma of South of Heaven. Add it up, and just listening to this album will send you to hell. Actually, if you've even read this far, chances are you're doomed. As far as we're concerned, though, if hell's jukebox is full of Slayer tunes, warm up the lake of fire for us. (More on: Slayer) Track Listing |
