5. Slayer, Diabolus In Musica

Following the three-album hat trick of Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss, Slayer became a band that could do no wrong – or at least until Diabolus in Musica came out in 1998. The next to last album to be released before drummer Dave Lombardo rejoined the fold, it’s about as close to trying to fit in with current trends as Slayer ever came. However, the current trend at the time was nu-metal, which led to fans accusing the band of selling out. That was enough for them to return to heaviness with 2001’s God Hates us All and to stop playing anything from Diabolus.

    Ozzy’s my favorite musician and even I’ll agree that Down To Earth and most of Black Rain weren’t up too par with the rest of his catalog. However,   Scream is probably one of my favorite albums by him; right behind No More Tears, Blizzard, and Diary. Anyway, I’m just glad you didn’t put Sabbath’s “Never Say Die” album on here, it may not be close to their best but it is a original-lineup Black Sabbath album, nothing beats that.

    Of course it says you could do a “Top 5 Disappointing Albums” on Metallica. Everyone is dissing on them and it’s absolute crap. Last time I checked they were in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But who cares what I say. I’m only a 13 year old girl. Nothing else matters.. :/

  • Did you love hearing Anvil’s new song “Mankind Machine”? Then stream the Canadian thrashers’ new album Hope In Hell in its entirety before it’s released on May 28 over at Loudwire.

  • Kylesa’s new album, Ultraviolet, is streaming online at Pitchfork. Check out the album, as well as some pretty awesome visuals, here. The album will come out on May 28 on Season of Mist.

  • Unsigned & Streamed vets Anciients, who’s Season of Mist debut Heart of Oak is out now, have landed the opening slot on the Lamb of God tour. They’ll be playing from May 16 – June 10. Check out the dates here.

  • Sinestra Studios (who very often provides Metal Insider with some killer live photos) is hosting its very first art galleria and metal show on Saturday, May 25, at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY. Tickets for the event are onsale now.

  • Louna has premiered a new music video for the song “Business” with Crave Online. The extravagant and politically themed music video comes in support of  the Russian hard rock group’s new album, Behind The Mask, available now via Red Decade Records and MEG/RED.
