A co-founder of Slayer, losing Jeff was very difficult for the band. In 2013 the world mourned the loss of guitarist Jeff Hanneman who died from complications following a two-year illness. It was also the most challenging record Slayer has ever had to make. Repentless is dark, fast, aggressive and without mercy. Repentless, the band’s first new album in six years, continues the Slaytanic offensive with a twelve-song, blood-shaking sonic attack. Slayer is a five-time nominated, two-time Grammy Award-winning metal juggernaut that writes songs which mirror the turmoil and aberrations of our society. Thirty-four years into its career, Slayer remains the preeminent punk-thrash band that helped establish the genre and that up-and-coming metal heads continue to revere and emulate. Repentless is crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream. Produced by Terry Date, Repentless was written and recorded by guitarist Kerry King and singer/bassist Tom Araya at Henson Studios in Los Angeles, along with returning drummer Paul Bostaph and guitarist Gary Holt. Slayer, the long-reigning titans of thrash, returns with Repentless, the band’s 11th studio album and its first album for Nuclear Blast. REPENTLESS IS A DECLARATION: THERE WILL BE NO COMPROMISE
