During mid-2001, the band joined Morbid Angel , Pantera , Skrape and Static-X on the Extreme Steel Tour of North America, which was Pantera’s last major tour. After delays regarding remixing and artwork, including slip covers created to cover the original artwork as it was deemed “too graphic”, Slayer’s next album, God Hates Us All , was released on September 11, 2001. The band received its first Grammy nomination for the lead track “Disciple”, although the Grammy was awarded to Tool for ” Schism “. The September 11 attacks on America jeopardized the 2001 European tour Tattoo the Planet, originally set to feature Pantera, Static-X, Cradle of Filth , Biohazard and Vision of Disorder . The dates in the United Kingdom were postponed due to flight restrictions, with a majority of bands deciding to withdraw, leaving Slayer and Cradle of Filth remaining for the European leg of the tour.
