"World Painted Blood" is scheduled for release on November 3 via
American Recordings. The CD will initially ship with four special collector's edition covers. Each of the four covers will display one-fourth of a provocative 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 (INTERNATIONAL) NOISE CONSPIRACY,
SLIPKNOT and others, and executive-produced by longtime
SLAYER colleague
Rick Rubin, who suggested
