#312 SLAYER CHRIST ILLUSION Album Review


Listen Later

“When you thought it was over…it did kind of a slide down…and then he slid back up and back down again…and then he does it again…”

August 8, 2006, marks the first SLAYER album in 16 years featuring Dave Lombardo behind the drum kit with CHRIST ILLUSION, their 10th studio album and their first since the release of God Hates Us All on 09/11/2001. 

With the original classic lineup in place and artist Larry Carroll’s trademark macabre album art, CHRIST ILLUSION represents a true return to form for the thrash veterans, effectively picking up where 1990’s Seasons In The Abyss left off.

Prepare to understand why the concept of “Uncanny Valley” has become exponentially creepier with the rise of artificial intelligence, discover which track is officially “the title track” and which one sounds like “a Taco Bell combo meal” for Slayer fans, realize that “Nickelback’s not that bad…they’re right up there with Creed” and get ready to enjoy some “sex noodles” when you JOIN US as we try to overcome our “Slayer Arrested Development (which is S.A.D.)” with CHRIST ILLUSION.
