The highly-anticipated Repentless is SLAYER’s 11th studio album, the first since 2009’s critically- acclaimed, Grammy-nominated World Painted Blood and the first with producer Terry Date (PANTERA, SLIPKNOT, SOUNDGARDEN).
The band – Tom Araya (bass, vocals), Kerry King (guitars), Paul Bostaph (drums) and EXODUS/SLAYER touring guitarist Gary Holt, who started recording Repentless in March 2014. Repentless also includes ‘Piano Wire,’ an unfinished song from the World Painted Blood sessions written by Hanneman. About the track, The 12-track Repentless is a sonic assault of brutal, ominous, lightning-fast and heavy-as-hell music with lyrics that unmask what SLAYER knows best – the terror, the corruption and the societal turmoil that dominates our world.
“The new album sounds like SLAYER’’ said Araya. “In the past, our fans have always known what to expect, this time they don’t. But we really like it, and I don’t think the fans are going to be disappointed.“
