Slayer 06/06/06 'Cult'

R0B75 · 1 Jun 2006 at 22:53

Is anyone else looking forward to 06/06/06?

Not only is it National Slayer Day (lol) but it also see the release of 'Cult' from there forthcoming new album.

The snippet of Cult on here sounds awesome, sounds like Slayer delivering their promise of another heavy album like God Hates Us All.

I really hope they announce the title and release date of the new album on the 6th too as it's also the day they kick off the 'The Unholy Alliance'.

More information here

Other than England winning the World Cup, this for me is the most exciting thing this summer.

It's also my birthday, and I have 2 maths AS level exams - oh the joy! pity I can't be partying like you.

I'll talk to my mate about this slayer release although I'm sure he'll already know about it, the big slayer nutcase.

ouch dude, shame about the exams. i have an exam that day in biochemistry (hence the last day of the year)

can you not party after the exams?

God hates us all wasnt a good album, hopefully the genius that is dave lombardo brings back that killer touch to the new album

It's all a matter of opinion. For me, GHUA was the best album since Seasons In The Abyss and lies third behind Seaons and Reign In Blood as their best.

Me loves Slayer.
Me can't wait.

Can't you young folk go and find your own music?

lordi's eurovision entry is also out on the same day

Can't wait for the new album but I'd read it had been delayed and wasn't coming out on 6/6/6 now?

Edit:

The band is currently working on a long-awaited new album (due out July 25) that was to be released on June 6, 2006, evoking the Number of the Beast. However, due to recording diffuculties, Kerry has changed the date and used June 6 as the launch date of his personal website. This album will be the first with original drummer Dave Lombardo since Seasons in the Abyss. A small snippet of their song "Cult" from the new album is available at www.slayer.net

Edit again: Seems I misread the first post

6/6/6 is also the theatre date for The Omen. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0466909/

I hope you don't include me in that, i'm not that young! I'm old enough to have liked Slayer for nearly 20 years.

Still loving the snippet of Cult on the Slayer site, the song is gonna rock!

Hmm, I was 40 when System Of A Down released their first album and really I should have been listening to Frank Sinatra.
You win.

ANGEL OF DEAAAAATTTHHHH.

Get the Slayer on people.

R0B75 · 6 Jun 2006 at 15:52

'Cult' is on iTunes for 79p. I went home at lunch and tried to get it but went in circles round the iTunes account creation and ended up being late back from lunch without getting to hear it! AARGGGHHH!

Oh, and I still have Slayer on in the car!

R0B75 · 6 Jun 2006 at 18:34

Just downloaded the single from iTunes and it ******* rocks.

Even though I loved God Hates Us All, I'm happy to say that 'Cult' betters anything from that album IMO. I recommend you download this ASAP.

"Religion is hate, Religion is fear, Religion is war

Religion is rape, Religion's obscene, Religion's a whorrrree!"

Now how do I burn this ****?
