SLAYER’s World Painted Blood artwork revealed

admin — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 17:53:40 +0000

Slayer’s World Painted Blood, the band’s highly-anticipated new album set for a November 3 release (American Recordings), will initially ship with four special collector’s edition CD covers. Each of the four covers will display one-fourth of a provocative continental map illustrated with human skulls and bones; when placed together, the four images form a complete and grisly map of the world (see above).

All four of the initial CD packages will include a special blood-red, see-through top panel with the map displayed beneath it.

The World Painted Blood Deluxe Edition will have its own special layout of the map cover art and will be in a double-digipak housed in a blood-red, see-through plastic sleeve. The Deluxe Edition will include the World Painted Blood CD, the “Playing With Dolls” DVD, a 20-minute animated graphic novel featuring music from the album (including part of a new non-album song), and an expanded booklet.

Orion: Thrash Metal From Pakistan

Orion, a thrash metal band from Pakistan, recently released their debut album, ‘Angel Of Dust’, absolutely free for download from their official website. Orion are Ameer Hamza, Hammad Khan, Hussam Raza, Waqas Ahmed, Imaad Manzar and Bilal Nadeem.

From the band’s website:

ORION is a diverse metal band from Pakistan that is influenced by bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Exodus and Opeth among others. The band was formed in 2006 with the aim of making an album that was not only ground breaking in terms of the Pakistani music scene, but that could hold its own when compared to international releases as well. The album ‘Angel Of Dust’, consists of 10 extremely diverse songs that cover most sub genres of metal. Almost no song is in the exact same style as the other, making this a very refreshing listen from start to finish. From the thrash attack of the opener ‘In The Mouth Of Madness’, to the many twists and turns of the conceptual 10 minute epic ‘The Final Sign’, ‘Angel Of Dust’ will be a great listen for anyone who likes their music with aggression, dynamics and groove, infused with just the right amount of technicality and melody.
