[Pagan Saviour]

Sounds pretty much what was expected.
Repentless pt.2.

Osegueda can do decent Araya style vocals for sure.

[Pagan Saviour]

Slightly better than what I expected, think Mark's vocals gives it currency

[John Kimble]

Dunno if it's slightly better, it sounds exactly how I expected it to be...predictable and uninspired.

Bands like this are ten a penny and if it didn't have King's name behind it, no-one would be that bothered. That said, it would make fantastic background/entrance music for WWE/UFC/NASCAR

[Bürggermeister]

someone from Hellyeah on Bass

He's the brother of the Mastodon guy.

Song is as good as you'd expect, if you've heard the last 25 years of Slayer

[Eoin McLove]

I listened to half of it. Absolutely amazing what a gifted visionary like King can do with e-minor when he puts his mind to it. Revolutionary.

[Eoin McLove]

When someone shows him a few more chords he'll be unstoppable.

[Circlepit]

Repentlessless.

Knew Demmel was gonna be the guy but suprised at Mark from Death Angel getting the gig.

Song is a bit meh (snare sounds awful), it's not like Kerry was gonna be writing technical djenty stuff.

[Eoin McLove]

No, but he could at least have tried to write either a half decent Slayer song or something different again, but to think that ripping off the worst of Dino Cazeres would cut muster is simply pathetic for a man of his standing. Sure the bros will lap it up because it'll be great IN DE PIT but it is throwaway rubbish. If it was a bunch of 14 year olds you'd say fair enough but was there nobody there to say, hang on a second... maybe spend more than ten seconds composing your riffs, dick beard.

Think Kerry'd be damned either way😂

It would have been nice to see him get out of the comfort zone a little and throw a bit of the Tipton/Downing worship that he was fond of years ago.

[Eoin McLove]

Big time, yeah. But he hasn't got the imagination at this point. Keep it simple, keep the trailer trash chugging cans and throwing horns and then hit the road. Crapola.

[Circlepit]

This one is from the Repnetless sessions so maybe, just maybe the rest of it will be better, or at the very least slightly different.
The album art has to be one of those A.I. thrown together things.

[Eoin McLove]

The artwork is even more spasticated than the music. There isn't a snowball's chance in Hell that the rest of the album will be worthwhile.

[Carnage]

It's shite. Anyway...
