Slayer: 'World Painted Red'

The official release day for Slayer's 10th studio album 'World Painted Blood' will be released Tuesday, November 3rd in North American and Monday, November 2 to the rest of the world, by American Records.

There will be three different editions of the album: Limited edition CD with multiple CD covers, deluxe edition CD/DVD, and a high-quality, 180-gram vinyl edition. 'World Painted Blood' will initially ship with four special collector's edition CD covers. Each of the four covers will display one-fourth of a continental map illustrated with human skulls and bones; when placed together, the four images form a complete and grisly map of the world. All four of the initial CD packages will include a special blood-red, see-through top panel with the map displayed beneath it. The 'World Painted Blood' deluxe edition will have its own special layout of the map cover art and will be in a double-digipak housed in a blood-red, see-through plastic sleeve. The deluxe edition will include the 'World Painted Blood' CD, the 'Playing with Dolls' DVD, a 20-minute animated graphic novel featuring music from the album (including part of a new non-album song), and an expanded booklet.
