Is the world sick? For those who don't know, the answer is yes.
To banish the illness of the poor who are forced by the "standards" imposed by those who always make endless arguments about what is right and wrong to do, just say screw it all and breathe fresh air in the morning, better the marijuana you grow in the closet.
Hell is far away but I've never felt it so close to me, you can easily distinguish it by looking at those who point at us, just gaze at them to be surrounded by nothing for a moment and anger prevails over the uncertainty of: do we really need to follow someone or something to be indie-pendent? It's time to say goodbye to you, yes you, Bill Gates, see how you're so well placed in this digital photo resolution 1024x860 that for all the software you charge for to run your programs, which aren't even free, can the "Jhihad" only ask for some of your money in advance, just before you die and donate it in India and Africa.
The "Flesh-Storm" attracts me with a scream on these things alive but dead at the same time, no one is safe anyone will make a mistake, but why doesn't anyone do something to survive from the rot that surrounds our common indifference? It's common for everyone to try to prevail over those who aren't in the circle you frequent, "Catalyst" knows it well, little epic monster of short measures, you could only be slightly longer since we are listening to you every day I would have also added a "You fucking die Bitch" for a few concrete laughs "You're a dead man" maybe it could even fit on the subliminal-guitarist solo. A river that breaks its banks, words dictated to the wind, super heavy for those who feel heavy things. "Black Serenade" I would never hear it, "Cult" is a classic, with those speeds no one tells you "your drums don't sound" or "you don't even have the right lyrics to keep straight", it's super heavy.
These friends of ours are a powerhouse yes guys truly strong, Slayer are strong and that's it. Now there will be a pause, long and meditative, made of reflections and theorizing. If we had to talk about Slayer, one does not scream so easily so loud. Now I have a lump in my throat will it pass looking at a shitty face and spitting on it? Screw the pretty faces, the ugly ones, those who talk nonsense if the fruit of so many words spoken in the wind must be "I mind my own business with my "Supremist".
It is more similar to 'Divine Intervention' than to 'Reign In Blood', one does not scream for free "now that you have exhausted your strength you can retreat". Think my friend think. The world is fucking sick, protect yourself!
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
02 Catalyst (03:07)
[All Leads - King]
Attitude is my addiction
I live life with no regret
Unlike you, it's my conviction
That sets me apart from the rest
I live for competition
Your cynicism only
Makes me stronger
I am the culmination
Setting the standard
That all will follow
I live it every day
Don't know another way
-Solo-
Within my eyes there's
Devastation and fury
You can't understand
In my fight
Win by attrition I bring it
With all that I fucking am
All that I fucking am
You never dealt with such rejection
Licking your wounds that won't fucking heal
You've never seen so much aggression
I am the scream to your fucking silence
I live it every day
Don't know another way
-Solo-
Attitude is my addiction
I live life with no regret
Unlike you, it's my affliction
That creates the template
Of all that I am
All that I fucking am
You know and I know
No matter what you say
You'll be beaten today
Like every other day
Something about you
Keeps you from letting go
Of lame obsessions
Built up inside you
Forget the guesswork
You're starting at the source
Gazing into my eyes
You'll see there's no remorse
'Cause this is my war
All day and every day
It's all about the confliction
Bring on the competition
Your pessimism only
makes me stronger
I am the culmination
The fucking standard
That all will follow
I live it everyday
Don't know another way
05 Jihad (03:31)
I have witnessed your death
I've seen it many times
Your tortured screams
Your decrypted little mind
A father's son with
Pathetic eyes that bleed bleed
Twins in the end
Begin and let the brothers fall!
I will see you burned alive
Screaming for your God
I will watch you die again for him
God won't touch what I've done
He cries upon my feet
A privilege pain
Beneath buried are your dead
On splintered bones I walk
Sifting through the blood
Besieged in fear
Await the coming of the God
I will watch you die again for Him
Blood is raining downward
The stain reflects the sun
Conquer divide within
Terrorize the mind
I have seen the end it's yours
Rosary in hand
Your selfish flesh it melts
Spilling from the sky
I will see you burned alive
Screaming for your God
I will watch you die
This is God's war!
God's war!
This is God's war!
God's war!
War of holy principles
I'm seeking God's help in your destruction
Slit the throat of heathen man
And let his blood dilute the water
Bury your dead!
Fuck your God erase his name
A lady weeps insane with sorrow
I'll take his towers from the world
You're fuckin' raped upon your deathbed
This is God's war!
God's war!
This is God's war!
God's war!
Fucking holy war!!!
[Solo] [Lead - Hanneman, King]
[Spoken:]
Be optomistic, happy, and calm
Show no fear or anxiety
Smile at the face of God
And your reward will be eternity
Holy warriors
Your patience will be justified
Everything is for Him
You must not comfort the animal before you kill it
Strike as champions at the heart of the nonbelievers
Strike above the neck and at all extremities
For it's a point of no return for almighty God
God will give victory to his faithful servant
When you reach ground zero you will have killed the enemy
The great Satan
06 Consfearacy (03:07)
I need to redefine
All the things I hate today
Politics that fail
From a president derailed
I hate the shit economy
It might as well be sodomy
I know that in the end
I'm expected to pretend
But I can't relate
To your verbal idiocy
No one's in control
When the government's the enemy
So light the fuse
Impose your views
Consfearacy
Is anarchy
Actions of hostility
Breeds conformity
Annihilation will begin
Extermination from within
So light the fuse
Impose your views
Consfearacy
Insanity
I need to redefine
How I see the world today
Seems that all the war
Didn't even up the score
It's only mind pollution
There is no resolution
Still I know that in the end
I'm expected to pretend
That I can't think for myself
Blame it all on someone else
Half hearted smile
While you look the other way
I can't relate
To your verbal idiocy
No one's in control
When the government's the enemy
So light the fuse
Impose your views
Consfearacy
Complacency
Is your demise
07 Catatonic (04:54)
Fear is just interpretation
Feeds my motivation
Our time together is
A bloodbath of serenity
Plead no more
There's no confusing the finale
Excitation
My rancid passion is electrified
Accept this
My religion of torture
I can't see any purity
Just imperfection and obscenity
My blood soaked hands devise
Your slow methodic demise
Asphxiate the world
It's blind without me
Catatonic
Catatonic
I'm numb in priceless solitude
Exhilarating keeping pieces of you near
[Lead - King]
Visions of decapitation
My mental masturbation
I try to resurrect
Your consciousness your intellect
Once so pure
Your pain excites and it tests me
Excitation
The empty state emitting from your eyes
Embrace it
My religion of tortue
All I see are the impurities
The imperfections and obscenities
[Lead - King, Hanneman]
Accept it
The religion of torture
Excitation
The rancid passion coming from your eyes
My blood soaked hands devise
Your slow methodic demise
Asphyxiate the world
It's blind without me
Catatonic
Catatonic
I'm numb in priceless solitude
Exterminating all the voiceless multitudes
I can't stop because it's so hypnotic
Catatonic
09 Cult (04:40)
Oppression is the holy law
In god I distrust
In time his monuments will fall
Like ashes to dust
Is war and greed the master plan?
The bible's where it all began
It's propaganda sells dispair
And spreads the virus everywhere
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
The pestilence is Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
No man upon the crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice
Six six six
[Solo - Hanneman]
Corruption breeds the pedophiles
Don't pray for the priest
Confession finds the lonely child
God preys on the weak
You think your soul needs to be saved
I think you're fucking miles away
Scream out loud here's where you begin
Forgive me father, for I have sinned
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
The target's fucking Jesus Christ
I would've lead the sacrifice
And nailed him to the crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice
Six six six
Jesus is pain
Jesus is gore
Jesus is the blood
That's spilled in war
He's everything
He's all things dead
He's pulling on the trigger
Pointed at your head
Through fear you're sold into the fraud
Revelation, revolution
I see through your christ illusion
[Solo - King]
The war terror just drags along
My war with god is going strong
His propaganda sells dispair
And spreads the violence everywhere
Religion is hate
Religion is fear
Religion is war
Religion is rape
Religion's obscene
Religion's a whore
There is no fucking Jesus Christ
There never was a sacrifice
No man upon a crucifix
Beware the cult of purity
Infectious imbecility
I've made my choice
Six six six
[Solo - Hanneman]
10 Supremist (03:51)
Crushing all your worthless goals
I define control
Your pain's my fucking ecstasy
So putrid is my world of tyranny
To accentuate your desperation
Flesh from bone I'll rip and tear
I hate the fact that we breathe the same air
Helpless as I dominate
I won't celebrate
Until you've all been crucified
I can not rest till everyone has died
I can't stand the victim in you
Infecting everything that I do
I will eradicate
Obliterate depopulate
Divine atrocious suffering
Cleansation of the weak
Supremacy
Pissing on your faith
Incinerate God's whore
Perpetual is my reign
I will eat your soul
[Lead - King]
Must maintain control of the weak
[Lead - Hanneman]
Must maintain control of the weak
Must contain the minds of the free

The return of Dave Lombardo can only make long-time fans happy.
'Christ Illusion' is a good album, to be clear, nothing new, all already heard, but still gives us some new songs from one of the bands that has always kept the flag of Metal flying high.
By mick7
Christ Illusion is a top-notch album, even better than God Hates Us All.
If Slayer is for you an anchor of salvation from the rot that surrounds us daily, you probably already bought it.
By MetalThrashingManju
Slayer tries again after 5 years… to bring the Bay Area Thrash back to high levels.
The album is very appreciable musically, but perhaps a bit criticizable from a lyrical standpoint.
By thetrooper
From the initial "Flesh Storm", we are certain it’s that infernal machine called Slayer.
Simply an album by Slayer! Aggressive and Angry!
