God Hates Us All is the sixth studio album by American thrash metal band Slayer, released on September 11, 2001. The album is noted for its aggressive sound and themes that explore violence, religion, and societal issues. It marked a return to a more traditional thrash metal style after their previous album, Diabolus in Musica, which had experimented with nu metal influences. The album's cover art, featuring a bloodied and distressed crucifix, was controversial and sparked discussions about censorship and artistic expression in metal music. Despite mixed reviews upon release, it has since been recognized as a significant work in Slayer's discography and the metal genre.
