We'll be giving away free World Painted Blood merch and autographed copies of the best selling Decibel magazine to date - the Slayer issue.

Slayer are streaming the title track to their anxiously-anticipated new album, World Painted Blood, which will be released on Tuesday, November 3rd in North America, and on Monday, November 2nd to the rest of the world. Check out the lead-off track to the album at this location.

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.

Check out the four World Painted Blood covers below:
