Background information about 'Undisputed Attitude'

Slayer have always worn their influences on their blood-spattered sleeves, but Undisputed Attitude takes that concept to its logical extreme. This 1996 covers album is a full-throttle demolition derby through the punk and hardcore underground that shaped the band's early sound. Forget everything you think you know about cover albums being safe or nostalgic — this is Slayer doing what they do best: taking other people's songs and running them through a buzzsaw.

From the opening assault on Minor Threat's Disintegration to the closing wreckage of D.I.'s Richard Hung Himself, the band tears through 14 tracks with the kind of reckless abandon that makes most punk bands sound like they're playing in slow motion. Tom Araya's vocals have never sounded more unhinged, and the rhythm section of Paul Bostaph and bassist Araya locks into grooves that feel like a car engine about to throw a rod. The cover of I'm Gonna Be Your God (originally by The Dicks) is particularly unhinged — a slow, grinding menace that builds into pure chaos. This isn't just a covers record; it's a statement of intent, a reminder that underneath the corpse paint and pentagrams, Slayer are still a hardcore punk band at heart.

For fans of:
Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I., Minor Threat, Corrosion of Conformity, The Accüsed
