ShockHound posted a new track by SLAYER – Hate Worldwide. The track is the second to be released for public consumption from Slayer’s forthcoming album World Painted Blood.The first track Psychopathy Red was leaked online last October, and Slayer.net reports it has been streamed more than a half-million times since. The song was composed by guitarist Kerry King, and will be available as a CD-single at Hot Topic stores beginning Tuesday July 28. Preview it NOW at ShockHound.
"It's a really cool track, and Tom's voice sounds incredible on it," said King (pictured far left). "The last line in the song's chorus is '..spread a little hate worldwide,' and that's what we've been doing for 25 years." Other song titles include Beauty Through Order, Unit 731, Playing With Dolls, Public Display of Dismemberment, and Americon.
As World Painted Blood is a SLAYER album, it deals with topics such as death and destruction, war, serial killers, and the Apocalypse. The album was recorded in Los Angeles over two time periods, during October 2008 and then between late January and March 2009. World Painted Blood was produced by Greg Fidelman, who's spent time in the studio with METALLICA and a bunch of other bands, and executive produced by long-time Slayer colleague, Rick Rubin, who suggested Fidelman for the project. He also mixed the live tracks on SLAYER'S Soundtrack to the Apocalypse.
It appears that SLAYER is hard at work on a site redesign, which they promise will be launched soon.
