EVEN KERRY KING KNOWS THAT ALL SLAYER RECORDS ARE THE SAME

Controversial opinion time: Slayer 2k12 are boring!

Slayer have written some darn fine songs throughout their career. It’s not that new Slayer music is bad — it’s not — it’s just boring because it sounds exactly like old Slayer. Call me crazy, but I like it when artists move forward and progress instead of recycling the same old riffs! Slayer have been writing the same album over and over again for the past twenty years, and I just can’t muster any excitement for new Slayer. Slayer were once a great band, but the gig’s up.

At least Kerry King isn’t fooling himself about Slayer’s stagnant career trajectory. In a recent interview with TheToneKing.com [via The PRP], Kerry told fans what to expect from the next Slayer record:

“They can expect the same record we’ve been giving them for the last 20 years. That’s basically what it is. [Slayer is] like the AC/DC of thrash metal. You know what you’re gonna get.”

Pretty much everyone I know disagrees with me and can’t get enough Slayer. Axl loves ’em to death. Tell me why I’m wrong below!
