New track/video just gone up. I enjoyed it, especially Phil's solo- sue me.

That was pretty good,no surprises and yeah Demmels solo is pretty sweet.

Yeah not bad.......

Much better than the first track, but still sounds like a Slayer cast off. Not that I'd expect anything else.

Better, but the bar was set pretty low. Its a shame about how he's using Osegueda, the guys got a great range, but these tracks could be any random screaming kid

Was gonna say just this. A pity he has him doing a shouty Araya impersonation.

⛧⛧ All hail the king!! ⛧⛧

Meh.

Agree on the Osegueda situation. He is fucking wasted here. And frankly, that shouty style gets on my tits after a while. It's all so one-note and repetitive, there is no variation at all. 

But I'd rather have King doing his like-Slayer-but-not-nearly-as-good thing under his own name, rather than running Slayer into the ground with mediocre output. 

I'd say he had the tracks written with Slayer in mind.
So hopefully Osegueda will get more input in anything down the line.

That's awful. I can't really remember the first track but it def wasn't as bad as that.

Fuck that.
That shouty cunt can fuck off. It's pure soulless nonsense.
Metallica covering Elton John had more oomph than that.

Yeah at least the first track had a bit of giddy-up to it. This is just bereft of anything resembling an interesting idea, and plods along to boot.

I'd call it a Slayer b-side, but that'd feel like a slight against Slayer b-sides.

That's a terrible song. Hate that shouting style.

Atrocity Vendor was a Slayer B side! originally!

 :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

No Hanneman no Slayer, half convinced they are getting back together to see if Holt has even learned 1 part of 1 lead after all thee years!

Very groovy and catchy but utterly brainless. It borders on nu metal in places. It is strange how musicians at that level can be happy to fart out music that generic and put their names to it when you know they are capable of so much more. The lyrics are just so juvenile it's depressing. Did King write them?

This to me is what selling out is. Bands changing style if they fully mean it I can accept, even if I'm not into the new stuff,  but watching grown men, seasoned musicians, playing along to music this banal simply because they know they'll have an instant audience is sell out behavior. I can't imagine anyone there with the exception of King can think there's any short of merit in the music. It's dismal teenager stuff.

Shameful.
