Tori Amos is readying Strange Little Girls for release on September 18. It’s a collection of song interpretations of artists ranging from Eminem ("'97 Bonnie & Clyde") and Slayer (“Raining Blood”) to the Beatles (“Happiness Is A Warm Gun”) and Joe Jackson (“Real Men”).

Well well, I didnt expect Tori Amos to be the one to bring classic, ground-breaking Thrash Metal to the mainstream. Welcome to the world of SLAYER:

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky’s crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

• Slayer, “Raining Blood”, from the album Reign in Blood

If she wanted to cover a Slayer tune, why didn’t she go with “Necrophiliac”?
