Just gave the new Slayer a play through (Spotify posted today). It's not bad. I've never been able to get heavily into them but if you're even mildly a fan of their music or metal in general its definitely worth a listen.

I'm a huge metal fan, but I've never enjoyed Slayer. Especially not their later offerings, this one included. On another note it has been an awesome fucking summer for metal in general, which is kinda rare imo. Some of the heavy hitters have really delivered as well, which is always, well.. exotic. For instance I'm loving the new Amorphis and Symphony X.

Agreed. I enjoy a majority of Slayer's music but I really do not care for the vocals. I think more than anything I appreciate the fact they've been an inspiration for a lot of metal bands that have come along since then.

This summer I have played the new Lamb of God to death and still love it. Also really digging High on Fire and Byzantine's new albums.

Now that I can agree with! The first statement that is, not the mentioned albums haha.

EDIT: if you're in the mood for some awesome thrash, I always recommend Trials. They're fantastic. https://trials.bandcamp.com/album/this-ruined-world
