ALBUM NOTES

Christ Illusion was Slayer's first new studio album since 2001, and the first recorded by the band's original line-up - Kerry King, Tom Araya, Jeff Hanneman, and Dave Lombardo - since 1990's Seasons In The Abyss. Christ Illusion trafficked in archetypal Slayer themes - God, religion, hate, and war. Tom Araya described the album as “fast, heavy - maybe faster than anything we've done before." Kerry King added, "It's a good mix of fast, brutal music and slower moodier stuff, it's pretty intense. It sounds like a damn Slayer record." Slayer won the Best Metal Performance at the 2005 Grammy Awards for “Eyes Of The Insane” and Best Metal Performance at the 2006 Grammy Awards for “Final Six.”
