The Slipknot frontman gives Slayer’s latest album two thumbs-up. Get your tickets for Slayer now!

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has had the following to say about Slayer’s latest offering, ‘World Painted Blood’:

“I love this album, and I love it for three reasons: It’s go the ferocity of the older stuff, it’s got the growth of the newer stuff, and it’s razor-sharp; the production on it is really good, the performances are smokin’, it’s probably some of Tom’s best lyrics yet, and… I just couldn’t stop listening to it, and it was fantastic top to bottom; I was really stoked. ”

“When you grow up a Slayer fan, you expect certain things from a Slayer album and this album had it all and I was really stoked about it. (The production’s) almost got that old-school feel to it — nothing is wet, like the ’80s. Everything is just reefed in the mix and raw. It’s a great album. It’s not just a collection of songs put under the heading of an album. You can listen to the songs and they’re good, but then you listen to the album as a whole, and it’s amazing. And I think it’s just a lost art in this day and age, and this is like a true, true album, and I’m really stoked that it’s Slayer doing it.”

‘World Painted Blood’ is out now.
