OV SULFUR CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF SLAYER’S ‘GOD HATES US ALL’ WITH ‘DISCIPLE’ COVER - @thebeast

Blackened deathcore outfit Ov Sulfur are celebrating the 25th anniversary of Slayer's landmark 2001 album God Hates Us All by releasing their own rendition of the record's blistering track "Disciple."

The cover is available now via streaming platforms, with an accompanying official video available on YouTube.

Guitarist Chase Wilson commented: "'God Hates Us All' has always been one of my favourite Slayer records. I'm stoked we got to put our spin on one of the sickest songs on it!"

Vocalist Ricky Hoover added: "I was excited when the guys decided to do a Slayer cover, as it allowed me to see if I could hit Tom Araya style vocals. He's a unique, stand-out voice in metal, and it was fun to see if I could add his signature melodic shouting to my repertoire."

The cover arrives during a busy year for Ov Sulfur, who released their latest full-length album, Endless, earlier this year. The record sees the band continuing to push beyond their deathcore foundation, incorporating black metal elements and a greater emphasis on melody without sacrificing the band's extreme approach.

Endless was praised by MetalSucks, which described the album as "heavy, dark, complex," while Blabbermouth called it "a confident and classy stride forward."

The band has previously released videos for several tracks from Endless, including "Forlorn," "Vast Eternal," "Seed," "Evermore" and "Wither." The latter marked the band's first song to feature exclusively clean singing.

Ov Sulfur recently completed a North American tour with DevilDriver and will make their European debut this November and December as co-direct support for Mental Cruelty, alongside Extermination Dismemberment, Acranius and Sun Eater on select dates.
