Slayer-Repentless(my review)



Everybody awaited what album Slayer could record. After Jeff Hanneman's death Kerry King became only songwriter and lyricswritter in band. He needed also a new guitarist for concerts. Then Gary Holt became a new Slayer guitarist. What a pity that Gary didn't write some songs for Repentless.
Maybe Kerry didn't want. I don't know. But he could allow him.
Like every album also Repentless has good and better songs. Some riffs are fascinating like "Repentless", "Implode" or "When the stillness comes". Some riffs are something new for Slayer, for example "Atrocity vendor" or "Pride in prejudice". And for example "You against you" has the serious, rolling riff and good video. The thing why is Repentless album so called "new" that Slayer did never recorded an instrumental song. "Delusions of saviour" is the beginning of it all. When I listen it I says to myself "It's pretty mysterious". And just such riffs are interesting for Slayer. Just in the same atmosphere is song "When the stillness comes" which has intro in style of "Seasons in the abyss" or "Spill the blood".
In slower tempo is "Pride in prejudice" which has a strong structure and good sound. I like a video and how Tom sings here. And for those who like faster songs are great-Repentless, Take control, Chasing death, Implode or Piano wire.
Piano Wire wrote Jeff Hanneman before his death. And it sounds awesome.
And for some who hates this album for not very good, fast songs I says-here are good and better songs, fast and also slower. I don't know why somebody hates Repentless album for not very good ideas.
Look at South of heaven where Slayer also changed some ways and then South of heaven became very favourite.
Maybe Repentless could be better but Kerry King mastered it admirable. Kerry did give his soul to this album. And it's main that Slayer is still alive.
