SLAYER Announces The Limited Repentless - Metal Eagle Edition By Larry Petro, News Monkey Monday, June 1, 2015 @ 4:11 PM
Repentless is SLAYER's 11th studio album, the first since 2009's Grammy-nominated World Painted Blood and the first with producer Terry Date. The band - Tom Araya/bass, vocals, Kerry King/guitar, Paul Bostaph/drums and EXODUS/SLAYER touring guitarist Gary Holt, who recorded lead guitar parts for about a half-dozen of the album's new tracks - started recording Repentless in March 2014, and made the track "Implode" available as a free download in April of that year. The band continued to record between September 2014 and mid-January 2015 at Henson Studios in Los Angeles. For the album, "Implode" was completely re-recorded from the ground up, and "When The Stillness Comes", used as an instrumental track in a Scion commercial, got a revamped intro and all new vocals.
Repentless also includes "Piano Wire" an unfinished song from the World Painted Blood sessions written by Hanneman. King had this to say: "When I hear it, I think 'Jeff.' It sounds like a Jeff Hanneman song."
"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."
As is expected from SLAYER, the band will support the release of Repentless with extensive touring across the globe, beginning this summer when the band headlines the Mayhem Festival. That tour kicks off June 26 at Sleep Train Amphitheater in San Diego, CA. The complete routing is below.

The 12-track Repentless is, according to those who have heard it, a sonic assault of brutal, ominous, lightening-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.
