This week’s topic is the God Hates Us All cycle. Two weeks ago, all listeners learned about drummer Paul Bostaph's return to the band. Jon Dette got the boot. Spoiler: We haven’t seen the last of him. And y'all learned about "No Remorse," their collaboration with German digital hardcore group Atari Teenage Riot. Last week, Patreon supporters heard all about the album Dee-ah-BOL-us in Musica, Slayer's polarizing foray into nü metal, which still rips pretty hard. This week: God Hates Us All, Slayer's remarkably timed first album of the 21st century.

The Talkin' Slayer podcast program show is written, deeply researched, lightly edited, and mostly rehearsed, with some production value. This is an all-killer-no-filler podcast: The episode proper begins after roughly 60 seconds of introduction, tops. No need to skip the first 15 minutes. The music changes every week. Ferris is an award-winning writer. He has worked for Rolling Stone, Alternative Press, The AV Club, and Decibel magazine. He is a fan. He has opinions. He is the author of something like nine books, depending how you count them. Two are about Slayer. The first one is an entire book about the classic thrash album Reign in Blood, which is part of the fairly prestigious 33 1/3 book series. His bigger Slayer book, though, is the 2023 update of the full-on band biography "Slayer 66 & 2/3: A Metal Band Biography, POSTMORTEM Edition." (This is the third edition; it was previously known as "Slayer 66 & 2/3: The Jeff and Dave Years...."). And that book is mostly what he'll be talking about when we're talkin' Slayer. Most episodes are audio adaptations of chapters from that book. Some have original and/or bonus material. Thank you for checking it out. Learn more at...
