In un'intervista rilasciata a Charlie Steffens di KNAC.com, Jeff Hanneman, chitarrista degli Slayer, ha parlato della nuova song "Jihad", precisando come tutta la band si aspetta pesanti critiche per come è stato affrontato l'argomento estremamente attuale:

KNAC.COM: You wrote "Jihad" for the new album. I read that it's being compared to "Angel of Death".

Jeff: "That's being said because we're expecting to get shit for it. Either the Muslim community is going to embrace it or they're going to hate us for writing it or the victims of 9/11 are going to hate us for writing it. We just expect shit for it, but all it is, really is, I basically did the same thing like 'Angel of Death', it's just a documentary. But being SLAYER, we don't put it on the victim side, we put it on the bad guy side. The words are kind of coming from a terrorist point of view, not a victim. That's why we think we might get shit. Who knows?"
