Christ Illusion

Slayer

WHAT'S THE STORY? Thrash legends hail Satan, slag off religion and chainsaw their way through ninth studio album of musical nastiness. (Come on, you loved all that when you were 14 and 3/4)!

TO BE HONEST: Probably their most brutal, old skool offing since the seminal 'Reign In Blood'. Carve 666 in your forehead, dump the boardies and prance around naked in a large VAT of pasteurised rats blood. We did.

REASON TO LIKE SLAYER: One guitarist is called Kerry and looks like a circus strongman.

REASON NOT TO LIKE SLAYER: If you take the piss, he'll unwind your intestines and use them to hang out his sweaty gig socks.
