Let's hope it's a good effort. Although the arrangement/songs are good on World Painted... the prodution was crap. Really thin guitars. Same guy who did Death Magnetic I believe. They need the soudn beefing up again like God Hates us All.

On a related note, I read that Tom and Dave are Catholics. Struck me as a bit hypocritical considering their music and it's changed my view of them somewhat now!

Lyrical concepts are likely to tackle subjects such as Satan, war, death, and murder.

Why should that matter at all? If a person writes a book or directs a movie about evil/satan/ect. you don't expect them to be some satanic bastard, why should it be any different if somebody writes music about it?
It's just a gimmick, and a damn good one at that. Can't wait for the new one.

Album cover has to be a pic of Jeff's rotted arm or it's a mega-fail

aliasp · February 8th, 2012, 07:17 PM

Regarding Tom & Dave's catholicism - I listened to a great interview with Tom on a local radio a year or two ago.

He pretty much said that the 4 guys you see on stage are merely cartoon characters of the real men themselves. As he said once they are off the stage they are just normal men, some with families and so forth. Tom came across as a very nice, polite and friendly person. Basically he stated his time as a triage nurse (or hospital orderly I think it was) inspired a lot of his song writing. He writes mostly about the horror and war themes whilst Dave, Kerry wrote mostly about the religious, satanic stuff.

But at the end of the day it isn't his mantra - it's simply lyrics - well from Tom's point of view. I have read that Kerry is pretty much what you see is what you get on and off stage.

So in reality the perception that life imitates art is still blurring the lines.

Heard that about Tom, havent heard that about Dave, but Kerry and Jeff write most the lyrics and music anywayz.

not fussed on slayer,good news for those who do

spacebeer · February 10th, 2012, 03:25 PM

Hope it'll be better than the last few abums, IMO SOIA was the last classic...

Anthrax_Mosher · February 10th, 2012, 07:33 PM

World Painted Blood was pretty good, didnt care for SOH, SITA, and the rest of the 90s stuff.

timmyc · February 11th, 2012, 05:39 AM

I reckon Christ Illusion is their best record since SITA. Killer record start to finish..... I don't think people gave that record the time or listens that it deserves.

Only the greatest hardcore band of all time. Talk about underappreciated, at least in the US....

I think the guy maybe got 'sick of it all' (SOIA) and 'god hates us all' (GHUA) confused? That's all I came come with to make sense of that post haha.

Alteredmindeath · February 11th, 2012, 03:57 PM

Last good abum was Christ Illusion. Slayer needs to pick it up if they want to impress. They think because they're big now they can rush out half assed albums.

South Of In Abyss

Umodian · February 11th, 2012, 07:47 PM

Good to hear. World Painted Blood had a few too many songs, but still quite good, their best since Divine Intervention IMO.
I hope they do more songs like "Playing With Dolls" though, that was really awesome. (And *GASP* different!)

Also, South of Heaven kicks tremendous amounts of ass.

WOW if you don't know who Sick of It All is you have serious problems. They are a NYC hardcore band that shows how hardcore music is done. The aren't some metalcore garbage. They are one of my personal favorite bands of all time
