Slayer bench <---- funny!!

Whoever is promoting the album is doing a great job! Everyone is talking about the cover art (both pro and con) but I've not heard anything about the music. So they ARE getting people to talk about the new album. Makes you wonder if the "bench ads" were not just a stunt... knowing full well that they would cause Joe Public to go ape shit and get people talking.

You can't get better Promotion than that. Public controversy. I don't know how much the bench ads cost but I'll bet that it's cheaper than radio and more people wil see and hear about these "outrageous" ads.

Sport the controversy, sales support
The sport is controversy, total controversy
When victory's a sale out
The final swing is not a stunt
It's how many albums I can sell
:D

Promoting one's album does not make that band "commercial" .... besides this bench stunt isn't a national thing they did.. it was in one area of Cali... if you want to talk about promoting a album commercially then it would be advertising a Testament album in a nationally distributed magazine (let's say Metal Maniacs magazine) by a big major or indie distributing company or label... :Smug: :rolleyes:

I thought you didn't like Slayer ? You are posting a play on their lyrics. You know you at least like "Seasons".....

No I don't like Slayer but 'War Ensemble' and 'Seasons In The Abyss' are two songs that I really enjoy, again not enough to get any album.

NP: Armored Saint - 'Dropping Like Flies'

Now this is the Flo that I know. You are posting monster !!!


Bryant
ahah well I used to be a posting whore :saint: Not anymore...


Now listening to the new album on Myspace, and it sounds pretty good to me so far, the first 2 songs seem even better than "Cult"...
 
I'm offended by these images, the only time I want to see Slayer on a bus seat is when its been etched;)
 
CHRIST ILLUSION (2006)
Flesh Storm

Take a deep breath
'Cause it all starts now
When you pull the fuckin' pin
The shrapnel burns
As it tears into the skin
Ever wonder what it takes
To be questioning your faith
This is what it's like
When it happens every Goddamn day

Violence is our way of life

Shards of life
Like confetti in the air
The flesh storm grows
As it breeds despair
You hear screams in the distance
Fighting the resistance
Not cries of war
These are just the sounds of pain

It's all just psychotic devotion
Manipulated with no discretion
Relentless War

(Lead - Hanneman)

Killing's in stlye
And it's now the main event
The cameras are whores
For the daily bloodshed
Like a junkie
Hungry for a fix of anything
The media devours
And feasts upon the inhumane

Violence is our way of life

It's all too fuckin' clear
We can never coincide
So let's all drink
To genocide
All the venomous sights
Border on the arcane
In times of war
Everything is bound by pain

It's all just psychotic devotion
Manipulated with no discretion
Relentless
Warfare knows no compassion
Thrives with no evolution
Unstable minds exacerbate
Unrest in peace

(Lead - King)

There's no future
The world is dead
So save that last
Bullet for your head

Only fallen have won
Because the fallen can't run
My vision's not obscure
For war there is no cure
So here the only law
Is men killing men
For someone else's cause

It's all just psychotic devotion
Manipulated with no discretion
Relentless War

Catalyst

(All Leads - King)

Attitude is my addiction
I live life with no regret
Unlike you it's my conviction
That sets me apart from the rest

I live for competition
Your cynicism only makes me stronger
I am the culmination
Setting the standard that all will follow

I live it every day
Don't know another way

Within my eyes there's devastation and fury
You can't understand
In my fight
Win by attritionI bring it with all that I fucking am

You never dealt with such rejection
Licking your wounds that won't fucking heal
You've never seen so much aggression
I am the scream to your fucking silence

I live it every day
Don't know another way

Attitude is my addiction
I live life with no regret
Unlike you it's my affliction
That creates the template of all that I am

You know and I know
No matter what you say
You'll be beaten today
Like every other day

Something about you
Keeps you from letting go
Of lame obsessions
Built up inside you
Forget the guesswork
You're starting at the source
Gazing into my eyes
You'll see there's no remorse
'Cause this is my war
All day and every day
It's all about the conflict Yeah!

Bring on the competition
Your pessimism only makes me stronger
I am the culmination
The fucking standard that all will follow

I live it everyday
Don't know another way

Skeleton Christ

Unbound God's creation
Has grown into the sinner
Abandoned innocence
Impenitent transgressor
Escape mortality
They say your life can change
If you take God's hand
Embrace rebirth
Your cleansing's so divine
To be reborn in God's eyes

You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the second coming
Life's too short to be focused on insanity
I've seen the ways of God
I'll take the devil any day
Hail Satan

(Lead - King)

Your faith has atrophied
And rots in hell's asylum
Despondence tears you down
A free-falling social stain
Escape atrocity
They say your life can change
If you take God's hand
Embrace rebirth
Your cleansing's so divine
To be reborn to God's lies

You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the second coming
It's all a fuckin' mockery
No grasp upon reality
It's mind control for
Compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ

You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the second coming
I laugh at the abortion known as Christianity
I've seen the ways of God
I'll take the devil any day
Hail Satan

(Lead - King)

You'll never touch God's hand
You'll never taste God's breath
Because you'll never see the second coming
It's all a fuckin' mockery
No grasp upon reality
It's mind control for
Compulsory religion and the Skeleton Christ

(Lead - Hanneman)

Eyes of the insane

A soldier's heart
Reflecting back at me
I keep seeing mutilated faces
Even in my dreams
Distorted images
Flashing rapidly
Psychotically abusing me
Devouring my brain

The eyes of the insane
On a demented campaign

Tortured spirits
Will not let me rest
These thoughts of mutilated faces
Completely possessed
Fragmented images
Flashing rapidly
Psychotically abusing me
Worming through my head

Shell shock battle fatigue
Overwhelming anxiety
Flashbacks panic attacks
Death raising it's ugly face at me

Go to make it stop
Can't take it anymore
The dead keep haunting me
They just keep coming back for more

The eyes of the insane
On a demented campaign
Flashbacks panic attacks
Death raising his ugly face at me

Got to make it stop
Can't take it anymore
Death's face keeps haunting me
It just keeps coming back for more

(Lead - King, Hanneman, King, Hanneman, King)

Got to make it stop
Can't take anymore
Death's face keeps haunting me
It just keeps coming back for more

A soldier
Of misfortune
I owe my pain and suffering
To this hell
These demons
Ripping through my soul
Evil's relentless hostility
Won't let me sleep

Shell shock battle fatigue
Devastating insanity
Flashback panic attacks
Death's riding he's coming for me

Jihad

I have witnessed your death
I've seen it many times
Your tortured scrams
Your decrypted little mind
A father's son
With pathetic eyes that bleed
Twins in the end
Begin and let the brothers fall

I will see you buried alive
Screaming for your God
I will watch you die again for him

God won't touch what I've done
He cries upon my feet
A privilege pain
Beneath buried are your dead
On splintered bones I walk
Sifting through the blood
Besieged in fear
Await the coming of the God

I will watch you die again for him

Blood is raining downward
The stain reflects the sun
Conquer divide within
Terrorize the mind
I have seen the end it's yours
Rosary in hand
Your selfish flesh it melts
Spilling from the sky

I will see you burn alive
Screaming for your God
I will watch you die

This is God's War
God's War
This God's War
God's War

War of Holy principles
I'm seeking God's help in your destruction
Slit the throat of heathen man
And let his blood dilute the water
Bury your dead

Fuck your God erase his name
A lady weeps insane with sorrow
I'll take his towers from the world
You're fucking raped upon your deathbed

This is God's War
God's War
This God's War
God's War
Fucking Holy War

(Lead - Hanneman, King)

Be optimistic, happy and calm
Show no fear or anxiety
Smile at the face of God
And your reward will be eternity
Holy warriors
Your patience will be justified
Everything is for him
You must not comfort the animal before you kill it
Strike as champions at the heart of the nonbelievers
Strike above the neck and at all extremities
For it's a point of no return for almighty God
God will give victory to his faithful servant
When you reach ground zero you will have killed the enemy
The great Satan

Consfearacy

(All Leads - King)

I need to redefine
All the things I hate today
Politics that fail
From a president derailed
I hate the shit economy
It might as well be sodomy
I know that in the end
I'm expected to pretend

But I can't relate
To your verbal idiocy
No one's in control
When the government's the enemy


So light the fuse
Impose your views
Consfearacy
Is anarchy

Actions of hostility
Breeds conformity
Annihilation will begin
Extermination from within

So light the fuse
Impose your views
Consfearacy
Insanity

I need to redefine
How I see the world today
Seems that all the war
Didn't even up the score
It's only mind pollution
There is no resolution
Still I know that in the end
I'm expected to pretend
That I can't think for myself
Blame it all on someone else
Half hearted smile
While you look the other way
I can't relate
To your verbal idiocy
No one's in control
When the government's the enemy

So light the fuse
Impose your views
Consfearacy
Complacency
Is your demise

Catatonic

Fear is just interpretation
Feeds my motivation
Our time together is
A bloodbath of serenity
Plead no more
There's no confusing the finale
Excitation
My rancid passion is electrified

Accept this
My religion of torture
I can't see any purity
Just imperfection and obscenity
My blood soaked hands devise
Your slow methodic demise
Asphxiate the world
It's blind without me

Catatonic
Catatonic
I'm numb in priceless solitude
Exhilarating keeping pieces of you near

(Lead - King)

visions of decapitation
My mental masturbation
I try to resurrect
Your consciousness your intellect
Once so pure
Your pain excites and it tests me
Excitation
The empty state emitting from your eyes

Embrace it
My religion of tortue
All I see are the impurities
The imperfections and obscenities

(Lead - King, Hanneman)

Accept it
The religion of torture
Excitation
The rancid passion coming from your eyes

My blood soaked hands devise
Your slow methodic demise
Asphyxiate the world
It's blind without me

Catatonic
Catatonic
I'm numb in priceless solitude
Exterminating all the voiceless multitudes
I can't stop because it's so hypnotic
Catatonic

Black Serenade

Terrorize frozen eyes stare deep in me
Paralyzed inside death breeds on your pain
Pretty lace lie in hate you wear my scars
Terrified you find that you push me too far
Your repulsiveness reminds me of dead flesh
Rotting corpse the smell of your putrid fucking soul

Petrified that I decide the moment of your death
Belongs to me the taste is sweet it's so unreal

Your God weeps, it bleeds, it begs for me
God is letting you recover

(Lead - Hanneman)

Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Scream your song the Black Serenade
Live in fear a mind insane

Voice inside my head
Your face still shows itself to me
Telling me you're dead
Staring at your lifeless body
I saw you fucking die
My mind's tearing itself apart
Screaming from the inside
Release this pain from my fucking heart

Destroy the empty shell
Smash away the haunting fear
I hate your endless stare
Watching as I fuck your corpse

Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Walk on through a tortured mind
You'll scream your song in time

Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Flesh is burnt the Black Serenade

Live in fear no coming back

(Lead - King)

Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Walk on through a tortured mind
You'll scream your song in time

Welcome to my Black Serenade
The entrance to my hell your pain
Flesh is burnt the Black Serenade
Live in fear death is back

Cult

Oppression is the holy law
In God I distrust
In time His monuments will fall
Like ashes to dust
Is war and greed the masters plan?
The bible's where it all began
Its propaganda sells despair
And spreads the virus everywhere

Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscure
Religion's a whore

The pestilence is Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
No man upon the crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice. Six six six

(Lead - Hanneman)

Corruption breeds the pedohile
Don't pray for the priest
Confession finds the lonely child
God preys on the weak
You think your soul can still be saved
I think you're fucking miles away
Scream out loud here's where you begin
Forgive me father for I have sinned

Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscure
Religion's a whore

The target's Fucking Jesus Christ
I would've lead the sacrifice
And nailed him to the crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice. Six six six

Jesus is pain
Jesus is gore
Jesus is the blood
That's spilled in war
He's everything
He's all things dead
He's pulling on the trigger
Pointed at your head

Through fear you're sold into the fraud
Revelation revolution
I see through your Christ Illusion

(Lead - King)

The war on terror just drags along
My war with God is growing strong
His propaganda sells despair
And spreads the violence everywhere

Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscure
Religion's a whore

There is no fuckin' Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
No man upon the crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious inbecility
I've made my choice. Six six six

(Lead - Hanneman)

Supremist

Crushing all your worthless goals
I define control
Your pain's my fucking ecstasy
So putrid is my world of tyranny

To accentuate your desperation
Flesh from bone I'll rip and tear
I hate the fact that we breathe the same air

Helpless as I dominate
I won't celebrate
Until you've all been crucified
I can not rest till everyone has died

I can't stand the victim in you
Infecting everything that I do
I will eradicate
Obliterate depopulate
Divine atrocious suffering
Cleansation of the weak
Supremacy

Pissing on your faith
Incinerate God's whore
Perpetual is my reign
I will eat your soul

(Lead - King)

Must maintain control of the weak

(Lead - Hanneman)

Must maintain control of the weak
Must contain the minds of the free

THE ALBUM IS OK
 
Well the promotion for the album seems to have worked. Christ Illusion should debut in the top ten next week according to projections!:headbang: I know I picked up my copy Tuesday and I think it's pretty killer. Even though I haven't listened to it to much because Kathy stole it.:lol: Didn't even get a chance to put it on the Ipod. She's digging the CD also!

I think once all the consevative groups see this album way up on the charts they will make a big stink about it. That will bring more publicity, thus more sales!:heh: Gotta love it.
