Slayer’s Dave Lombardo has been speaking out about the new Slayer album, ‘World Painted Blood’.
Word coming from Slayer’s Dave Lombardo suggests that the new Slayer album could go down as one of the best of the band’s career.
Speaking to Sun Media, Lombardo has said:
“I have to say that it compares to the classics — ‘Reign in Blood’, ‘South of Heaven’ and ‘Seasons in the Abyss’. And I wouldn’t say that if I didn’t mean it. (Tom Araya’s) vocal melody and singing approach is very listener-friendly — not in a way where people are going to say, ‘Dude, they went commercial.’ No way. It’s just more melodic.”
“People are scared of the word melody because maybe it sounds like a happy word. But you can have very dark, extreme music with melody. It’s not something to be afraid of. There’s only good music and bad music — and good music has hooks and something to carry you through and entertain you.”
