Stalwarts of berating religion, in 2001 Slayer upped the ante with the release of the highly controversial 'God Hates Us All'. Eerily released on the same day as the September 11 atrocities, the title was in reference to God's perceived allowance of acts such as murder and terrorism while doing nothing to prevent them. As well as containing songs mocking religion, the cover depicted nails hammered into a bible (band linchpin Kerry King wanted the nails in the shape of a pentagram, but this was snubbed by the record label) and was swiftly banned by many stores. An alternative cover was duly issued.
