🔥 "Live fast, on high."⁠
⁠
On September 11th, 2015, Slayer released their final album, 'Repentless.'⁠
⁠
The thrash greats' final studio album served as a respectable, if not earth-shaking, cap on the band's trailblazing recording career. Slayer's only LP recorded without Jeff Hanneman (and with Exodus' Gary Holt), 'Repentless' still bears the late, great guitarist-songwriter's mark, in the form of "Piano Wire," a chilling WWII-themed horror show penned before his 2013 death. ⁠
⁠
It's title track, meanwhile, served as a spirited send-off and summation that rings somewhat ironic in light of Slayer's reunion since: "No looking back, no regrets, no apologies."

"I feel so alive for the very first time."⁠
⁠
🛰️ 25 years ago today: P.O.D. released 'Satellite.'⁠
⁠
Nu-metal's first outspokenly Christian act, P.O.D. exchanged the gnarlier hardcore of early albums like 1996's 'Brown' for hook-heavy, reggae-infused rap-rock on this, their Bad Brains vocalist H.R.–assisted fourth studio album. The group was rewarded with multiplatinum success for their efforts, and the rousing singles "Alive" and "Youth of the Nation" became survivors' anthems for 9/11 and Columbine, respectively.⁠

Slayer’s ‘God Hates Us All’ turns 25 today.⁠
⁠
Released on 9/11, the thrash titans’ ninth studio album is the band’s last bona fide masterpiece, an utterly ferocious mission re-statement that spoke perfectly — if somewhat intendedly — to the fear, rage and unrest of its moment. “Disciple,” with its repeated roar of the album’s biting title, is a total classic, but songs like “Threshold” and “Payback” also stand out, capturing Slayer at their most pi**ed and real. ⁠
⁠
Gone are the Satanic imagery and the other more fanciful or historical elements of past lyrics. This is Slayer surveying the everyday world around them and expressing their all-too-relatable disgust.⁠

"You wanna go?!" ⁠
⁠
1 year ago today: Kublak Khan TX released the single "The Mountains of Corsicana."⁠
⁠
Hardcore's supreme rulers described the song as having been written "as a monument to the final man" — and sure enough, only the strong will survive.⁠
⁠
The standalone single is full of natural-disaster drum pounding and hill-leveling guitar damage, and caps with a disgustingly decelerated backend breakdown. Vocalist Matthew Honeycutt's heaving cries of "You wanna go?" sound much less like a friendly vacay invite to the mountain than a rage-fueled and battle-ready warning.⁠
⁠
Meanwhile, the music video — directed by Max Moore — pairs punishing performance footage with majestic scenes of a wild stallion solitarily strutting through the hillsides.
