Slayer's latest...I'm not real big on that but still need to give it a few more listens, I really dig a lot of the stuff on Christ Illusion and World Painted Blood and still listen to those albums frequently. Testament...Eric Peterson has really grown to be a monster player and not just the rhythm guy and now you've got Hoglan and DiGiorgio who are just sick, sick musicians - like the line-up they had on The Gathering - DiGiorgio, James Murphy, and Lombardo...that was insane.
