Lawyers representing the parents of a 15-year-old girl who was brutally killed by three boys claiming SLAYER made them do it filed a third amended complaint for damages in San Luis Obispo (California) Superior Court on Friday, March 23rd, following the judge's ruling in January that cited insufficient evidence for the case to proceed to a civil trial. Lawyer Allen Hutkin and the girl's parents, David and Lisanne Pahler, are accusing SLAYER, their label and other industry and label entities associated with the group of intentionally marketing and distributing 'death metal' to minors. The revised 50-page document provides additional studies and research showing the destructiveness of the music and how it's targeted to youth, particularly citing claims made in a September 2000 Federal Trade Commission report about the marketing practices of music, movies and video games. The new complaint also offers further examples of SLAYER's lyrics and quotes from the band explaining alleged 'satanic practices' in previous interviews.

According to those who have heard the material, the songs vary in style from driving CYPRESS HILL-style hip hop with heavy guitars to “monstrous metal with rap rhymes”, with Herrera abandoning his trademark ultra-fast double-bass drumming style in favor of a more tribal, Igor Cavalera-like approach.
