Slayer Releasing ‘World Painted Blood’ Seven-Inch for the Holidays

The day after Thanksgiving, most commonly known as Black Friday, is shaping up to be a great day for metal. And where there is metal, there is Slayer, who will be putting out a limited seven-inch vinyl with the unreleased B-side 'Atrocity Vendor' and the title track from the band's most recent studio pummeling, 'World Painted Blood.'

'Atrocity Vendor' was recorded during the 'World Painted Blood' sessions and was written by guitarist Kerry King, so expect no mercy on this track. Compared to other seven-inch single releases from Slayer, this one takes the route of simplicity, only having a clear sleeve and a sticker with the needed details. But when it comes to the metal legends, just knowing what's on the wax is all that matters.

Slayer's single will be joining a myriad of Nov. 26 metal releases on vinyl, including Metallica with 'Live at Grimey's,' Anthrax's 'Live at the Sonisphere' picture disc and the recently-announced Job for a Cowboy CD/LP box set.

The Arizona death metallers are re-releasing their latest album, 'Ruination,' as a set of 10-inch record -- each a different color. The third LP contains rare and unreleased live and cover songs.
