...and it blows.
Repetitive. Check.
Structureless. Check.
Bland. Check.
It appears that Slayer, the one band of the Big 4 that people thought still "had it" after Megadeth went Radio Rock, Metallica stopped releasing music and Anthrax Joey Belladonna'd, have gone and fucked it.
I have never claimed to be a huge Slayer fan, but could always appreciate the rather "boiled to pure concentrate" approach they took to Metal, but this just doesn't go anywhere. On my first listen it took me over a minute to realise the song had ended, I'd already stopped listening.
When The Stillness Comes will be available as part of Record Store Day on April 18 if you want to buy it. I guess there's nothing more Metal than Pseudo-Masochism. Not to appear racist and hateful towards any one particular country it will be released at participating independent record stores across the globe as a limited-edition (only 5000 copies worldwide), seven-inch vinyl picture disc.
