Gli Slayer si sono sciolti.

Hanno concluso, così sembrerebbe, la loro carriera con un concerto a Los Angeles il 30 Novembre scorso.

Ho pochi minuti a mia disposizione, sperando che la mia connessione ad internet regga...da qualche giorno qui da me è un dramma collegarsi a Debaser, porca troia.

Quindi iniziamo subito e sono incazzato nero per una serie di circostanze, tra le quali quello scritto in homepage che mi ha rivoltato lo stomaco e mi ha fatto salire l'acidità di stomaco...da star male.

E quando sono così messo male, anche a livello di ansie e paranoie che abbondano durante le festività, ecco che ho bisogno della Musica violenta, delle sonore mazzate uditive. Ho bisogno degli Slayer...dannazione.

Repentless Killogy è un doppio CD live registrato sempre a Los Angeles nell'Agosto del 2017.

Non c'e più Jeff Hanneman passato a miglior, o peggior vita.

Dave Lombardo ha lasciato i compagni da tempo.

Ma i sostituti Gary Holt e Paul Bostaph tirano fuori gli artigli e colpiscono a morte.

Gli anni passano e si sente; soprattutto nella prestazione vocale di Tom Araya; ha perso quel tono assassino che lo ha reso famoso. Per più di 30 anni ha urlato dietro ad un microfono rovinandosi voce e corde vocali. Ma ha poca importanza tutto questo per me.

Perchè i 21 brani sono autentiche rasoiate, fendenti mortali suonati alla solita folle velocità. Un Thrash Metal che non ha alcun tipo di paragone. Nessuna band riesce ad avvicinarsi alla furia cieca generata dai quattro cavalieri dell'Apocalisse...Il male in musica...

Ho letto tante di quelle "puttanate" in rete a riguardo di questo live. Molti sostengono che non hanno più la forza degli esordi, che svolgono un compitino senza infamia e senza lode alcuna...la penso diversamente, nella maniera più assoluta.

Potrei stare qui delle ore a raccontare delle sensazioni che ho ricavato nell'ascolto della band. Ma è forse del tutto inutile...e poi non ho molto tempo come ho già detto...sono stanco ed ho sonno...

Ed allora mi basta citare gli ultimi SEI brani che vengono suonati uno di fila all'altro, senza interruzioni, senza che Tom Araya annunci (come sua consuetudine) i titoli: questa volta non è necessario.

32 minuti di caos luciferino: Seasons in the Abyss, Hell Awaits, South of Heaven, Raining Blood, Chemical Warfare... ne resta ancora una.

Non può essere che ANGEL OF DEATH...

Chi conosce la band ha capito già tutto, ha capito che non serve dire altro.

Grazie di tutto Slayer; grazie anche per le tante botte prese ai vostri concerti...almeno sei (ancora il numero del diavolo...) se ho ben contato.

Gli SLAYER si sono sciolti...Bastarda la vita...POSTMORTEM...

Adesso va meglio, non di molto ma va meglio...WAR ENSEMBLE...

Ad Maiora.

(Lyrics - Hanneman; Music - Hanneman, King)

Screams and nightmares
Of a life I want
Can't see living this lie no
A world I haunt
You've lost all control of my
Heart and soul
Satan holds my future
Watch it unfold

I am the Antichrist
It's what I was meant to be
Your God left me behind
And set my soul to be free

Watching disciples
Of the satanic rule
Pentagram of blood
Holds the jackal's truth
Searching for the answer
Christ hasn't come
Awaiting the final moment
The birth of Satan's son

Screams,
From a life I live
Torment,
Is what I give
Torture,
Is what I love
The down fall,
Of the heavens above

I am the Antichrist
All love is lost
Insanity is what I am
Eternally my soul will rot [rot... rot]

09   Disciple (00:00)

Drones since the dawn of time
Compelled to live your sheltered lives
Not once has anyone ever seen
Such a rise of pure hypocracy
I'll instigate I'll free your mind
I'll show you what I've known all this time

God Hates Us All, God Hates Us All
You know it's true God hates this place
You know it's true he hates this race

Homicide-Suicide
Hate heals, You should try it sometime
Strive for Peace with acts of war
The beauty of death we all adore
I have no faith distracting me
I know why your prayers will never be answered

God Hates Us All, God Hates Us All
He Fuckin' hates me

Pessimist, Terrorist targeting the next mark
Global chaos feeding on hysteria
Cut throat, Slit your wrist, shoot you in the back fair game
Drug abuse, Self abuse searching for the next high
Sounds a lot like hell is spreading all the time
I'm waiting for the day the whole world fucking dies

I never said I wanted to be God's disciple
I'll never be the one to blindly follow

Man made virus infecting the world
Self-destruct human time bomb
What if there is no God would you think the fuckin' same
Wasting your life in a leap of blind faith
Wake the fuck up can't ignore what I say
I got my own philosophy

I hate everyone equally
You can't tear that out of me
No segregation -Separation
Just me in my world of enemies

I never said I wanted to be God's disciple
I'll never be the one to blindly follow
I'll never be the one to bear the cross-disciple

I reject this fuckin' race
I despise this fuckin' place

16   Mandatory Suicide (00:00)

Murder at your every foot step
A child's toy sudden death
Sniper blazes you through your knees
Falling down can you feel the heat
Burn!

Ambushed by the spray of lead
Count the bullet holes in your head
Offspring sent out to cry
Living mandatory suicide
Suicide

Holes burn deep in your chest
Raked by machine gun fire
Screaming soul sent out to die
Living mandatory suicide
Suicide

Lying, Dying, Screaming in pain
Begging, Pleading, Bullets drop like rain
Mines explode, Pain sheers through your brain
Radical amputation, This is insane

Fly swatter stakes drive through your chest
Spikes impale you as you're forced off the crest
Soldier of misfortune
Hunting with bated breath

A vile smell, Like tasting death
Dead bodies, Dying and wounded
Litter the city streets
Shattered glass, Bits of clothing and human deceit
Dying (in) terror
Blood's cheap, It's everywhere
Mandatory suicide, Massacre on the front line

17   Hallowed Point (00:00)

High velocity bullet at close range
Can damage the mind
Shattering the skull shredding the brain
Severing the spine

Bury a round of lead in the chest
It's quite an impression
Imagine the innards of your soul
The infliction

Instinctive regression
With intent to kill
No regard of human life
Or the blood spilled

Riddled convulsions
Confetti of flesh
Scattered helplessly
Losting your control of physical
Facilities

Release the slide to cleanse inside
Prepare to anoint
Snap the tongue in the groove discharge
To make my hallowed point

The power of a gun
Used with conviction
Disperesed on excursions
Randomly kills its victims

My sweet revenge
Bitter in depression
The thrilling release
Of a hatred deep persuasion

The power of a gun
Used with conviction
Diffused compulsions
Unending repercussions

Violent emotion
Screaming revolution
Spasmic convulsions
Death an empty gun

18   Dead Skin Mask (00:00)

How I've waited for you to come
I've been here all along
And now that you've arrived
Please stay a while
And I promise I wont keep you long
I'll keep you forever

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead cold flesh pacifies the means
Prevoking images delicate features so smooth
A pleasant fragrance in the light of the moon

Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

In the depths of a mind insane
Fantasy and reality are the same

Graze the skin with my finger tips
The brush of dead warm flesh pacifies the means
Incised members ornaments on my being
Adulating the skin before me

Simple smiles elude psychotic eyes
Lose all mind control rationale declines
Empty eyes enslave the creations
Of placid faces and lifeless pageants

Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control

Dance with the dead in my dreams
Listen to their hallowed screams
The dead have taken my soul
Temptation's lost all control

19   Born Of Fire (00:00)

Join in my quest to leave life overturned
Spanning the world wave of doom
Spewing out death with the evil I've churned
Awaken the dead from their tomb
Love turns to lust the sensations I've felt
Exploring the pleasures of sin
Making the best of the cards I've been dealth
Adjusting the odds so I win

Unleash all my burning wrath
Potential killing machine
Take down all who block my path
Enjoying all that's obscene...born of fire

Prince of all darkness initiation
Ritually baptized in flames
Next to the throne my abomination
Spreads horror throughout the domain
Master the art that controls the impure
Inherit the infamous keys
Thousands of centuries I will endure
Tyrant of all the prophecies

Some have called me Satan's son
A name I cannot deny
Wielding fury that's second to none
Far too vile to confine...born of fire

All things dead must rise again
When twilight's blanket falls
Splattered red you'll find my den
Blood dripping from the walls

Dreams born of desire
Shaped and forged within the fire
Twisted, Warped, Deranged I see
The world's corrupt insanity

Dreams possess nightmarish figures
Burning can't escape the embers
Lost are those who trust the Liar
Satan's son I'm born of fire

20   Cast The First Stone (00:00)

21   Bloodline (00:00)

Eternal the kiss I breath
Siphon your blood to me
Feel my wounds of your god
Forever rape mortality
I smell of death
I reek of hate
I will live forever
Lost child pay the dead
Bleeding screams of silence
In my veins your eternity

I'll kill you and your dreams tonight
Begin new life
Bleed your death upon me
Let your bloodline feed my youth

First breath born come alive learn to kill
Bloodfest awaits to feed your hunger
Dark side has no rival test your faith in blood
Night hides the hunting packs a feeding frenzy

I'll kill you and your dreams tonight
Begin new life
Bleed your death upon me
Let your bloodline feed my youth

I am the first not the last
Condemned by a single kiss
Betrayed eternally I'll rip inside your soul
Contaminating the world
Defying god and son
Black heart that brings your death
Living in infamy

Drink the flesh of life itself
Prepare to reign a thousand years

I'll kill you and your dreams tonight
Begin new life
Bleed your death upon me
Let your bloodline feed my youth

(Blame god chosen children
As you die I'm immortal
Faithless no religion
Stalking prey is my confession
Captive blood enslavement
Pain and hunger drives your madness
Drink flesh life itself
Prepare to reign a thousand years)

22   Seasons In The Abyss (00:00)

Razors edge
Outlines the dead
Incisions in my head
Anticipation the stimulation
To kill the exhilaration

Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die

Close your eyes
And forget your name
Step outside yourself
And let your throughts drain
As you go insane...go insane

Innate seed
To watch you bleed
A demanding physical need
Desecrated eviscerated
Times perpetuated

Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourself
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die

Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yoruself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane...go insane

Inert flesh
A bloody tomb
A decorated splatter brightens the room
An execution a sadist ritual
Mad intervals of mind residuals

Close your eyes
Look deep in your soul
Step outside yourslef
And let your mind go
Frozen eyes stare deep in your mind as you die

Close your eyes and forget your name
Step outside yoruself and let your thoughts drain
As you go insane...go insane

23   Repentless (00:00)

24   Hell Awaits (00:00)

Existing on damnation's edge
The priest had never known
To witness such a violent show
Of power overthrown

Angels fighting aimlessly
Still dying by the sword
Our legions killing all in sight
To get the one called Lord

The Gates of Hell lie waiting as you see
There's no price to pay just follow me
I can take your lost soul from the grave
Jesus knows your soul can not be saved

Crucify the so called Lord
He soon shall fall to me
Your souls are damned your God has fell
To slave for me eternally
Hell awaits...

The Reaper guard's the darkened Gates
That Satan calls his home
Demons feed the furnace where
The Dead are free to roam

Lonely children of the night
There's seven ways to go
Each leading to the burning hole
The Lucifer controls

Priests of Hades seek the sacred star
Satan sees the answer lies not far
Zombies screaming souls cry out to you
Satanic laws prevail your life is through

Pray to the moon... when it is round
Death with you shall then abound
What you seek... for can't be found
In sea or sky or underground

Now I have you deep inside my everlasting grasp
The seven bloody Gates of Hell
Is where you'll live your last

Warriors from Hell's Domain
Will bring you to your Death
The flames of Hades burning strong
Your soul shall never rest

The Gates of Hell lie waiting as you see
There's no price to pay just follow me
I can take your lost soul from the grave
Jesus knows your soul can not be saved

Sacrifice the lives of all I know they
Soon shall die
Their souls are damned to rot in Hell
and keep the fire growing deep inside
Hell awaits...

25   South Of Heaven (00:00)

An unforeseen future nestled somewhere in time
Unsuspecting victims no warnings, no signs
Judgment day the second coming arrives
Before you see the light you must die

Forgotten children, Conform a new faith
Avidity and lust controlled by hate
(The) Never ending search for your shattered sanity
Souls of Damnation in their own reality

Chaos rampant
An age of distrust
Confrontations
Impulsive habitat

Bastard sons beget your cunting daughters
Promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers
Engreat souls condemned for (all) eternity
Sustained by immoral observance a domineering deity

Chaos rampant
An age of distrust
Confrontations
Impulsive sabbath

On and on, South of heaven

The root of all evil is the heart of a black soul
A force that has lived all eternity
A never ending search for a truth never told.
The loss of all hope and your dignity

Chaos rampant
An age of distrust
Confrontations
Impulsive habitat

On and on, South of heaven

26   Raining Blood (00:00)

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, Alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquittance

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, The sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, Souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, Now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

27   Chemical Warfare (00:00)

Frantic minds are terrified
Life lies in a grave
Silent death rides high above
On the wings of revelation
Multi death from chemicals
Arrogance has won
Annihilation must be swift
Destroy without destruction

Gods on the throne must be watching from hell
Awaiting the mass genocide
Soldiers defeated by death from a smell
Bodies lie dormant no life
Rising new souls on the lands where they fell
Demons not ready to die
Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie

Chemical warfare

Artificial fucking peace
Line up in a death row
Generals in their slow defeat
Diminished from this hell
Banished from the dying world
The lords of hell await
Dogs of war are helpless prey
To immortality

Gods on the throne must be watching from hell
Awaiting the mass genocide
Soldiers defeated by death from a smell
Bodies lie dormant no life
Rising new souls on the lands where they fell
Demons not ready to die
Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie

Chemical warfare!!!

Fuck it up!

Liquidate
The torture kills the troops that try to fight
Terminate
Human pesticide bring days of doom
Mist falls
The deadly gas that brings them to their knees
Sacrifice
Steal the soul and send his corpse to hell

Hahahahahaha

Mummified regions lying in dust
Fall victim to this game
Petrified corpses bathing in rust
Taken without being blamed
Falsified spirits farther they fall
Soon they will join us in hell
See the sky burning the gates are ablaze
Satan awaits eager to merge

Gods on the throne must be watching from hell
Awaiting the mass genocide
Soldiers defeated by death from a smell
Bodies lie dormant no life
Rising new souls on the lands where they fell
Demons not ready to die
Nothing to see where the sleeping souls lie

Chemical warfare

Warfare!
