God Hates Us All

God Hates Us All (2001) is the 10th full-length album by Slayer. It reached No. 18 in the UK Charts, and No. 28 in the US. It was released in the US on September 11, 2001, after much delay.

The original album cover depicted a Bible covered in blood and nails, with "Slayer" burned into the front cover. As this would have been perceived as offensive by some, a sleeve was developed to be placed in front of the real cover in stores. This sleeve depicts the name of the band, four Latin crosses, and the name of the album in gold on a white background.

Despite the title and the original cover, the band were at pains to point out that they hadn't returned to their horror-influenced "Satanic" lyrics. Kerry King has stated that the title "God Hates Us All" is a reference to having a bad day, one where you feel like God hates you.
