The limited (only 3,000 copies worldwide) and numbered┬áMetal Eagle Edition┬áwill be a direct-to-consumer item and available exclusively via the Nuclear Blast mailorder online stores.

The highly-anticipated┬á┬╗Repentless┬½┬áis SLAYERÔÇÖs 11th studio album, the first since 2009ÔÇÖs critically-acclaimed, Grammy-nominated┬á┬╗World Painted Blood┬½┬áand the first with producer Terry Date (PANTERA, SLIPKNOT,SOUNDGARDEN). The band – Tom Araya (bass, vocals), Kerry King (guitars), Paul Bostaph (drums) and EXODUS/SLAYER touring guitarist Gary Holt, who recorded lead guitar parts for about a half-dozen of the albumÔÇÖs new tracks – started recording┬á┬╗Repentless┬½┬áin March 2014, and made the track ‘Implode’ available as a free download in April of that year.┬áThe band and Date continued to record between September 2014 and mid-January 2015 at Henson Studios in Los Angeles. ┬áFor the album, ‘Implode’ was completely re-recorded from the ground up, and ‘When The Stillness Comes,’ used as an instrumental track in a Scion commercial, got a revamped intro and all new vocals.
┬╗Repentless┬½┬áalso includes ‘Piano Wire,’ an unfinished song from the┬á┬╗World Painted Blood┬½┬ásessions written by Hanneman.┬áAbout the track,┬áRolling Stone┬áwrote that it ÔÇ£ÔǪbegins with an eerie guitar line before evolving into a full-on-doom (and classic SLAYER) riff onslaughtÔǪÔÇ£┬áKing put it this way: ÔÇ£When I hear it, I think ÔÇÿJeff.ÔÇÖ┬áIt sounds like a Jeff Hanneman song.ÔÇØ
The 12-track┬á┬╗Repentless┬½┬áis, according to those who have heard it, a sonic assault of brutal, ominous, lightening-fast and heavy-as-hell music with lyrics that unmask what SLAYER knows best – the terror, the corruption and the societal turmoil that dominates our world.
ÔÇ£The new album sounds like SLAYER,ÔÇ£ said Araya. ÔÇ£In the past, our fans have always known what to expect, this time they donÔÇÖt.┬áBut we really like it, and I donÔÇÖt think the fans are going to be disappointed.ÔÇ£
As is expected from SLAYER, the band will support the release of »Repentless« with extensive touring across the globe, beginning this summer when the band headlines the Mayhem Festival. That tour kicks off June, 26th at Sleep Train Amphitheater in San Diego, CA. The complete routing is below.
