Warthur
World Painted Blood sees Slayer consolidating the general approach of Christ Illusion, with the reformed classic lineup that made that album such a success continuing their run of albums which aren't quite new classics on the level of the old Slayer canon, but are pretty decent and entertaining listens if you don't have Reign In Blood or South of Heaven handy. Finally balancing their classic thrash approach with the angry punk influences which have often bubbled under the surface in their music, the band produce an album which might not redefine the rules of thrash metal in the same way their absolute best releases did, but at the very least keeps the thrash flame alive and will appeal to most fans.
