Full review
After some pretty poor efforts lately, it is nice to have my ears blasted off the face of the earth again!

Not quite as good as the classic Reign In Blood as there are a couple of weak tracks but generally a great record.

It starts with the obligatory opener which I usually fast forward (thank the Lord it doesn’t form part of a song as sometimes happens, as it is really annoying to have to fast forward a minute or two to get to a song!).

Then on to mayhem! Disciple stands up to anything Slayer have created with it’s ferocity and is a joy to hear.

God Send Death is a bit more refined and good for it. This can apply to the New Faith, which has aggression and subtlety in one package.

Cast Down & Threshold are nothing to write home about, but Exile hits the spot with more thuggery and aggression than you could shake a stick at.

Best to skip Seven Faces.

Bloodline follows with a little more subtlety, but still enough aggression to be an obvious choice for a single, without turning their fans away.

More of the same follows with Deviance and Warzone is an absolute killer!

Here Comes The Pain is neither here nor there.

Last, but certainly not least is Payback, with some great lyrics and more ferocity.

This review may appear to paint a picture of a CD with no real variation and that is true to some extent, but like Reign In Blood, there is nothing wrong with that.

It may seem like there is no talent involved in simply churning out a fierce wall of noise, but how many have tried to so this and failed to create a good record? Slayer still does it best.

I simply like having my head pounded until the music stops and I can once again come up for air. I suggest you buy this too if you liked Reign In Blood.

One thing that does annoy me greatly in general (and, unfortunately also applies here), is that true fans rush out to buy it (like myself) only to find another version released later with extra tracks! It seems the real fans get punished and the bystanders get rewarded. Record companies need to stop doing this now!!
