God Hates Us All
God Hates Us All is Slayer's ninth studio album, released on 11 September 2001 through American Recordings. It was recorded over three months at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver and follows Diabolus in Musica, carrying on that record's flirtation with a nu metal sound while keeping the band's thrash core.
Kerry King wrote most of the lyrics, turning to religion, murder, revenge and self-control. "Disciple" earned a Grammy nomination. The explicit cover art caused delays and led some shops to use alternative slip covers, and mixing was difficult too. Critics were largely positive, and it reached number 28 on the Billboard 200. It is also the last Slayer album with drummer Paul Bostaph until he returned for Repentless in 2015.
