World Painted Blood

The mighty Slayer has confirmed a release date for the band's 10th studio album: World Painted Blood will be released on Monday 2nd November. In addition, Slayer has revealed the complete and correct track listing for the album that can be found on the band's newly-designed, just-launched website: www.slayer.net

"As we're so excited about World Painted Blood," said the band's Dave Lombardo, "we wanted to do something special for the packaging, and have been working with some really cool ideas. They've taken time to get just right, and with our headlining the Mayhem tour for most of the summer, it's just taken that much longer to get all these great ideas exactly the way we want them."

There will be three different editions of World Painted Blood - a limited edition CD with multiple CD covers, a deluxe edition CD/DVD, and a high-quality, 180-gram vinyl edition; specifics for all editions will be detailed shortly.

"We hope our fans will like everything about World Painted Blood as much as we do," Lombardo continued. "Recording this new album has been one of the greatest experiences we've had as a band. We were together during the writing process more than we had been for past albums, we worked more collectively, everyone's suggestions and ideas were heard and considered, and that camaraderie is definitely heard in the new album.

  • I first heard Slayer in 1998. I was 11 at the time. My older brother just bought the Diabolus In Musica tape. I'll probably make a pussy out of myself but at first I was so fucking afraid of this whiteheaded motherfucker on the cover that I didn't want to get anywhere near this tape. But finally curiosity won. I've put the tape in, pressed play and I waited. It was on side A and the first track was Bitter Peace. At first it was normal. Some guitars, some drums. Just music. But after about ...

  • I still remember this day as it was yesterday..... Heavy Sound Festival in Belgium (1985).... You guys joined us at the festival bar drinking beers, telling jokes.... This was fun ! From that day on, Slayer was in my heart.
  • i went to my first slayer concert either in 2012 or 2011 and everybody was headbanging including me and it was a fucking awesome concert
  • Me and My friend went on a bike ride the day before the mayhem fest in scranton in 2012. I got into a really bad bike crash and broke 2 ribs and brused my left hip. The next day i went and i was in so much pain but i still fucking moshed to every Anthrax song, every Slipknot song, and every fucking Slayer song. I will not let anything get in my way to see and mosh to SSSSLLLAAAAYYYYYEERRRR!!!

Ive seen them live 9 times so far over the years, twice in the UK and 7 times in Ireland, 6 times in Dublin and once in my home city of Cork. I recently moved to Edmonton, Alberta in Canada and long for Slayer to come back here, so I can put my gigs into double digits!!! Being a metal drummer of 20 years, Dave Lombardo and Paul ...

    Back in July, on Friday the 13th in Tampa, FL, I went to Mayhem and saw some of the heaviest and most entertaining bands in the business. Now even though I was backstage for Anthrax and moshed with some former marines during Motorhead, Slayer's performance was the most unforgettable. From the time between the end of Motorhead's performance and the beginning of Slayer's, the anticipation was killing me. Slayer would be playing right in front of me very soon, one of the greatest, if ...

    One moment you write good things on the computer and the next moment, the manager bans you. Believe me, I have experience. I got banned when I wrote a topic on my South Park account on July 17. I asked a question that did not exist. That's what banned me. I have autism. I have always had a learning disbility. Do you think you will have some compassion for me? Being banned sucks. I just need to get rid of this "disease" and hope I don't end up going on "vacation" from the computer. I don't ...
  • Mayhem Fest in Chicago this SATURDAY and we got screwed! My husband was taking our son Miles who is 9 to the concert. Miles is really into heavy metal. He went with Mike to see Iron Maiden 2 weeks ago. Anyway, there is N. O WAY that I will allow Miles in the pit. That is just insane. The other option... a refund, but then my kid loses out on a great concert. He has already seen the Slayer set list online. Live Nation fucked up royally! They double sold the seats and now we have to pay the ...

    Thank you Brothers! The show in San Bernardino last night was out of this world! It was awesome seeing so many youngsters in the crowd singing every Slayer song word-for-word! I have been a diehard Slayer fan for years! This was my 13th Live Slayer show! I got my first taste of "Slayer Live" back in 1986, in Hollywood @ Madame Wong's when I was 15. It was like church... I've been a loyal fan ever since. As long as you guys keep playing shows, I'll keep banging in the pit! You guys are The ...

i want it now. but im poor so cant
lol

I want all the different & i don' t want to wait more.

I think its fair to say we all want the 4 different covers and the deluxe version, so why isn't somebody doing a package where you can order all 4 covers together to make sure you get them? I would definately order it. I love collecting Slayer merch...and I'm sure there's millions of us that do.....

How much longer? It's like waiting for the school holidays when you were a kid!!!!..........

It is finally here. And it was worth the wait. It's not just my excitement speaking but I trully believe this is they're best album to date. It has a bit of everything and more besides. I'll say no more at the moment as you will all have your own copies soon enough and we'll all exchange views then. As it is I'm wasting valuable listening time writing this....ha ha ....

Wow. What an album. Get's better with every listen.....

all slayer fans...check out the underground king of deathrap! NECRO new album DIE! in stores Feb 2010...cop one or DIE!

When are the other covers going to be released ?
Having just 1 of the 4 covers is fucking torture.

World Painted Blood.

When I first heard Psychopathy Red I got it into my head that the entire album would be that angry when it finally got released......how wrong was I.

The album to me is like a creature that changes it shape but in a savage evil twisted way.
World Painted Blood as track 1 gives a false sense of security with its intro but then it punches you in the fucking head leaving the listener (me) almost dazed, the next 3 tracks just leaves you reeling......then another knock out punch with Hate Worldwide and if that's not enough to keep you focused you get a massive punch in the guts with Public Display of Dismemberment.
By now I was thinking that this is enough punishment for any self respecting metal head then Human Strain is without a shadow of a doubt the track that will floor you and leave you speechless wondering "what the fuck have I done to myself this time" or more to the point what the fuck have Slayer done to me this time.
Americon bursts into life and sets your mind up for the onslaught that is Psychopathy Red, Playing with Dolls is the difference maker and the title almost leads you to believe that it will be a nice mellow track......like fuck it is, onto the final act of violence that is Not of this God.

After hearing the album for the first time I was totally shocked thinking Slayer had gone through some form of metal transformation and I remember feeling that this new album would put a lot of critics in their place, after the 18th time of hearing it (in the first day) I felt proud that buying a copy of Show No Mercy (on picture disc) in 1984 would lead me here to 2009 where I am stunned by the recording quality, the creative edge and the brutality that World Painted Blood presents us with.

Thank you Slayer.

A couple of months later and WPB still sounds as good as the first time I heard it. I still think it's Slayers finest album and I firmly believe it will stand the test of time like RIB has. OK it's not genre defining or as cutting edge as RIB was in 1986 but nothing ever will be again will it? I don't think Slayer could have done anything to make it any better (other than maybe giving it to us for free!!!) and I can't wait to see the live show when they reach us here in the u.k.
