The fury surrounding Slayer's upcoming album and recently announced "The Unholy Alliance Tour - Preaching to the Perverted" has not died down and new information is still being revealed piece by piece.

The four original members of SLAYER ­ Tom Araya/bass, vocals, Kerry King/guitars, Jeff Hanneman/guitars, and Dave Lombardo/drums - the pioneers and undisputed kings of extreme speed/thrash metal, have entered a Los Angeles-area studio to record what will be their first new studio album since 1990's "Seasons In The Abyss." Rick Rubin, who helped solidify the much-emulated Slayer sound beginning with their genre-defining 1986 classic "Reign In Blood," has taken the helm as executive producer of the project. Working closely with Rubin will be Josh Abraham (Korn, Velvet Revolver, Atreyu) who will produce the album. "We're real happy to have Josh on the team," said Slayer's Jeff Hanneman. "He's a very creative and intuitive guy, he knows music, and he really gets who Slayer is and what we're doing." The as yet untitled album will be released on Slayer's long-time label, Rubin's American Recordings/Warner Bros. Records, and is expected out this fall. As previously reported, The new album is expected to feature 11 songs, one of which will carry the title of "Cult".

"Dave's been back with us, playing live, for a couple of years now, and we're all looking forward to recording together again," said the band's Tom Araya. Kerry King added, "There really is no one like Dave ­ he doesn't have to work at what he does, he just walks in, picks up his sticks and goes."

Said Lombardo, "It feels really good being back with the same guys I started out with. The chemistry is definitely there, that's the exciting part of it, to capture that chemistry again. And that's what is happening." Jeff, Tom and Kerry have been writing songs for this new album since they wrapped their last North American tour in September 2004. "This is probably the most prepared we've been to record an album since the 80s," King added. "We've been writing and cutting demos for months." While these may change, working titles for some of the songs that will be recorded include "Catalyst," "Cult," "Supremist," and "Consfearacy." "I like to write songs that have different meanings for different people," said King, "where everyone can say, ŒI know what he means,' but still get their own sense of what the song is about." Finally, on 6.6.06 (a date already snatched up by for numerous death metal releases, most notably Deicide's) in San Diego, CA, Slayer will kick off a seven-week summer trek, "The Unholy Alliance Tour ­ Preaching to the Perverted," that boasts what has got to be the genre's coolest line-up of the summer ­ Lamb of God, Mastodon and Children of Bodom (who will rotate the second and third slots), and Thine Eyes Bleed who will open the shows. Not only is the line-up terrific, but ticket prices will reportedly not exceed $39.00, giving fans a great value for their dollar. According to Slayer's long-time manager Rick Sales, "We want to make 'The Unholy Alliance' tour an annual global event, so we decided to be smart about the design from the beginning. We chose to book most of the tour's shows at indoor venues, as that allows the bands and the fans amenities like air conditioning and indoor bathrooms, as well as the very best stage lighting, production, and sound and less expensive concession prices. The few shows that will be played outside will be played at night in permanent facilities with our lighting, production, and so on. Everyone wins."

With more dates and details to be added, the confirmed dates so far for "The Unholy Alliance Tour ­ Preaching to the Perverted" are as follows:

June 6 - Sports Arena, San Diego, CA June 7 - The Orleans, Las Vegas, NV June 12 - Pop's Outside, St. Louis, MO June 13 - Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL June 15 - Tweeter Center, Camden, NJ June 16 - Continental Airlines Arena, E. Rutherford, NJ June 17 - Tsongas Arena, Lowell, MA June 23 - Freeman Coliseum, San Antonio, TX June 25 - Reliant Arena, Houston, TX June 29 - Tower City Amphitheatre, Cleveland, OH July 6 - Cobo Arena, Detroit, MI July 7 - Eagles Auditorium, Milwaukee, WI July 14 - Qwest Field Event Center, Seattle, WA July 16 - Salem Armory, Salem, OR July 19 - HP Pavilion, San Jose, CA July 21 - Mesa Amphitheatre, Mesa, AZ July 22 - Long Beach Arena, Long Beach, CA

What website did you think you were on? This is metalunderground you jackoff. Hence "Metal" Underground" and you got the nerve to call us white trash. Just because your mom won Trailer Queen 4 years in a row doesn't make you any better. Do us all a favor and turn your car in your garage and take a nap.

BTW you got balls calling us kids I might be your dad. Go back to school so you can spell correctly.

Cob,Lamb of god, and f***ing slayer ... it does'nt get much better folks .... i also noticed CoB is now on the list for most viewed bio and news updated.

51. The Violator writes:

man.. all you slayer fans... bodom is 10 times more talented than slayer and mastodon puts on a way better show. i think i will leave before slayer comes on.

52. The Violator writes:

but yeah, more mastodon love right here.

MASTODON!!!!

53. WhylordWhy writes:

Violator you really need to stay off the drugs. Or do more because that comment was just flat out DUMB. " bodom is 10 times more talented than slayer and mastodon puts on a way better show." What kind of sh** is that. You can't even put Slayer and Cob in the same catergory there is no comparision. That is like comparing the Dallas Cowboys to your high school team. That is the Fukking problem with you kids no respect for a band that has probably influenced at least half the bands you listen to.

NEVER HEARD THEM TILL JUST NOW(CHILDREN OF BODOM) AND THE SUCK CHROM OFF A BUMPER COMPARED TO THE GOD FATHERS OF METAL (SLAYER) GET OFF THE CRACK PIPE VIOLATER

bands, but it just comes down to which sound you perfer .... it's easier to compare bands if they belong

58. slayerdisciple writes:

i love slayer and cob, and i like slayer over cob by just a little, sevenchurches cob isnt overated neither all the bands on the tour deserve the recognition they r receivin especially slayer and children of bodom, those 2 and lamb of god r the best on the tour tho, with lamb of god on it they should come to richmond

68. War Ensemble writes:

jjjay, could you get any lamer or are you just trying to be ghetto! gaf revetahw

oh yea Children of Bodom and Mastodon both are grossly overated. i hate people that say Mastodon is "the future of metal" or they are "the next Metallica" becuase i dont want metal to sellout and waste away. Children of Bodom, try and be power metal and melodic death metal with too much key boards mixed in...that makes them sound really cheesy, cause you have master both genres to make a better one!

Christ Illusion, dodgy crowds and the return of Dave Lombardo: what happened when we went on tour with Slayer in 2006

On this day in 2006, Slayer released Christ Illusion, their first album with Dave Lombardo in 16 years. That year, we joined Slayer on tour to find them more malevolent than ever

“SLLLauuuuuRGGHHH!!!”

It’s disconcerting, taking a piss, and finding your next-door neighbour at the pee trough suddenly breaking into an animalistic roar. Shouldn’t they be focusing more on the task at hand? We are men, and yes, we must roar, but we also have garden sprinklers for genitals and such things require fierce concentration.

“Slayy-URGHH!!”

It’s a kind of ‘who’s here?!’ call, we guess. A rumble emitted from the bellies of beasts; a verbal locking-of-the-horns to assert your status in the herd. There seems to be a rule that the larger the roarer is in girth, the louder and more tremulous the ‘ SlaaaayRARRR!!’ must be. Outside the toilets, while struggling through a sea of semi-naked, sweat-slicked male bodies, Slayer ’s female UK PR is routinely ass-slapped and felt up. Loud bastards. Fucking morons.

“There’s too many smiling faces!” gushes Slayer singer/bassist Tom Araya , and I’m wondering if he’s been at the same gigs as us. “You look out in the crowd and you don’t see angry faces. You see smiles! They’re all like…” Tom breaks into a huge, exaggerated cheesy grin, chuffed to bits with the audience reception on Slayer’s Unholy Alliance world tour. “They’re just smiling away, makin’ faces at you. Y’know, if someone smiles, I’ll smile at them. To make them aware that we connected.”

The Unholy Alliance tour is, in spirit, a return to the 1991 Clash Of The Titans tour, which Slayer co-headlined with Megadeth and Anthrax – thrash’s victory parade. Featuring Lamb Of God , Mastodon , Children Of Bodom and Thine Eyes Bleed, these are the thrash babies grown up.

It’s a great package tour, but, a couple of dates in, it’s unbelievably depressing to find Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom a 95 per cent male-dominated sweatbox, where the few girls are repeatedly groped and harangued. It’s a Neanderthal attitude, seemingly sanctioned, with spotlights picking out girls in the balconies between bands, the whole crowd jeering and bullying them to flash their tits or arse. It’s something you would’ve expected from a Mötley Crüe show in the 80s, not Slayer in 2006.

What does Slayer mean to you in 2006, Tom?

The friendly, permanently chuckling frontman frowns hard and gazes out of the window of his St. Louis hotel. There’s a long pause. “A full life,” he answers at last. “I’d have to say that it’s a means to make a living.” He chuckles. “Or at least that’s what it’s turned out to be in recent years.”

Does it feel more like a job now?

“Yeah. Yeah, I think it’s like that with every band,” he sighs. “The playtime is when we’re onstage – that kind of erases all the shit that goes on in between. That’s not a job.”

The Unholy Alliance tour marks the Los Angeles band’s 24th year. The Slayer of today are barely recognisable as the amphetamine-fuelled teen headbangers of the 80s, clad in brilliantly silly spiked leather armbands, whose frantic live performances you should check out on YouTube. These days they don’t move as fast, but they still play fast. And they still look fucking cool – guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman flanking Araya like machine gun snipers who’ve got his back, and Dave Lombardo reigning over all of them on his towering drum riser, blasting out artillery beats. Araya is recovering from a gall-bladder operation so he stands back, letting the audience belt out the opening verses to live favourites like South Of Heaven and Angel Of Death , grinning incongruously at the carnage in the pit.

“In our younger years we were pretty crazy! But then you were young and invincible!” Tom laughs. “Then you grow up and find out that you’re not! You get older and you mature, but that certainly doesn’t mean that you stop loving what you do.”

At this point in our interview, a giggling pair of small children – healthy looking, honey-skinned Californian kids – come running over, hesitating at the sight of Hammer ’s microphone. They’re Tom’s kids.

Tom beams and you can see the pride in his eyes. “Yeah, they’re mine,” he nods. “Seven and 10. My boys actually sit behind Dave on the drums and copy him. Going bezerk! That’s a good sign. They both have little drum sets.”

How nice is Tom Araya? Tom Araya is so nice. I want Tom Araya to be my dad. How the fuck Araya and his bandmates managed to conjure such bile and bite on their new album Christ Illusion – a tightly-wound piece of nastiness that Hammer ’s Features Ed described as sounding like a rattlesnake in a tumble dryer – then, is a mystery. On tracks like Cult and Jihad it seems that Slayer’s role is to list all of the evils in the world and spit it, cobra-like, back in the world’s face – the voice of immaculate sin.

Nick Cave once said of his time in Aussie destroyers The Birthday Party that he envisioned himself as the mouthpiece of an angry god: “All I had to do was walk onstage and open my mouth and let the curse of God roar through me… I was a conduit for a God that spoke in a language written in bile and puke. And that suited me fine.” 

As the mouthpiece of Slayer, with all that concentrated nastiness flowing through him, is that how Tom Araya feels when he sings and plays?

“This is how I am,” he explains, patting his t-shirted chest, a ponytailed, gentle dad with a huge smile. “I’m like this, until show time. Onstage now I don’t portray the seriousness that I used to in the early days. It’s nice to smile. You’re singing about death and murder and killing babies… and you’re smiling. I want everyone to see that I’m having fun.”

“Tainted?” guitarist Kerry King cackles loudly. “Dave’s tainted?!”

Maybe not tainted, but Dave Lombardo is the only member of Slayer to have a profile outside of the band. He had to forge his own identity – forming his own metal band Grip Inc., playing with Mike Patton ’s Fantomas and collaborating with myriad non-metal musicians – because he was thrown out of Slayer in 1992. In taking him back that must have concerned King, the perceived leader of Slayer.

“No, I think Dave knows exactly what is demanded of the drummer in Slayer.” Kerry turns to his drummer, with whom he fell out acrimoniously in the 90s, alleging that a cocaine habit had crippled his prodigious percussion skills. “And I think by you doing other things, you came up with some stuff that me and Jeff would never fuckin’ think of.”

Lombardo rejoined the band as a touring drummer in 2001, but Christ Illusion is the first music he’s written with King in 15 years. Immediately prior to writing, Lombardo announced that Kerry King didn’t want him to play on the album. Was there a difficult period of reconciliation afterwards?

“Yeah, no, nothing,” Lombardo twitches as Slayer’s two guitarists, sitting either side of him, observe impassively through mirrored shades.

There were some bitter words from both sides.

“Yeahidunnoiforget.” Lombardo rattles off quickly, and dismissively.

“We just picked up where we left off,” says Jeff Hanneman.

“Yeah, well maybe a year before we left off,” Lombardo corrects. “So, we’re fine, yeah.”

Kerry and Jeff, did you hear Fantomas’ Reign In Blood medley?

Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman’s heads turn sharply towards Lombardo.

“We did a medley,” Lombardo explains, looking slightly uncomfortable. “A Slayer medley. Where we play five or six songs together in very abrupt parts. It’s pretty neat.”

“So you’re making fun of us,” Hanneman says, nodding.

“No! Actually, it was honourable, honourable… uh… you know what I mean.”

In his decade long sojourn from Slayer, Dave Lombardo became a much sought-after musician – working in all genres of music, from avant-jazz to hip-hop and even classical. Slayer, meanwhile, with replacement drummer Paul Bostaph, alienated some fans with a less intricate, more hardcore-influenced direction. As Lombardo’s official Slayer comeback, fans have rabidly anticipated Christ Illusion .

Dave, what did you think of the albums that they made without you?

“Um…” he pauses. “I was very anal. On what Paul Bostaph was doing. And it was frustrating for me, so I just put them away.”

“When Dave wasn’t in the band it just wasn’t the same!” Jeff says. “We were still playing and it was still Slayer, but once he came back the chemistry was there again.”

The chemistry that the four members generate is unique. Slayer aren’t just an important metal band – the music they make sounds like nothing else. No one plays like Slayer. Slayer songs are almost mathematical – whirling grids of strange, shifting rhythms sliced up and down by King and Hanneman’s serial killer guitar solos and marshalled by Lombardo’s extraordinary drumming. Lately their music has been revered by the avant garde community, with even the Cologne Contemporary Jazz Orchestra attempting to interpret the Slayer oeuvre.

“Drummers are continuously playing like a metronome onstage or whatever,” says Dave, who insists that the other bands on the Unholy Alliance expedition don’t interest him. 

“I think it’s really boring. I look at Slayer more like an orchestral thing where you have crescendos and diminuendos within the music.”

With no formal training, King, Hanneman, Araya and Lombardo began playing shows in their lunch hour at high school and essentially made up their own kind of music. It was labelled ‘thrash’ or ‘speed metal’ because it was lightning fast, and because King and Hanneman’s lyrics dwelt heavily, and almost childishly, on death, hell and the devil.

It’s a theme that hasn’t gone away, now updated on Christ Illusion into a broader, more socio-political swipe against organised religion. “The target’s fucking Jesus Christ/The one I’d love to sacrifice!” snarls Tom on comeback single Cult .

“Slayer and God aren’t best friends,” states Kerry, somewhat mildly.

Slayer seems blasphemous not so much for the lyrics (which, it’s fair to say, have always the weakest point in Slayer’s armoury), but for the actual sound of the music. The music is always fast, vicious, intelligent – like it’s a super-weapon designed to actually take down a deity.

“They use the notes that were banned in the time of classical music, that scare people,” Lombardo explains, referring to the discordant ‘diabolous in musica’ chord interval that gave Slayer’s 1998 album its title.

“When I come up with something that sounds dark or evil, it makes me think bad thoughts.” Jeff Hanneman smiles. “And I like that.”

Why do you like thinking bad thoughts, Jeff?

“OK, Spill The Blood . You know that opening riff? When I hear that I just wanna slit somebody’s throat!” The Aryan-blonde guitarist laughs. “Spill the blood!”

Do you think of your music as a kind of violence?

“More like a release than violence,” says Kerry. “I mean, we go out on stage and we thrash around for an hour. And when you get done, you’re just all, wow, that’s cool. Let’s have a drink. Chill out for a while.”

Slayer are at their most effective when at maximum speed and velocity. Maybe it’s because fast denotes danger. Things that can kill you are fast: fighter jets, sharks, cobras.

Listening to Slayer makes your whole body feel tense, your heat beats faster, you think faster – you don’t necessarily feel better for listening to it but you do feel faster and more powerful. If you walk down the street with Slayer on your headphones, no one can fuck with you. You feel like you’ve got secret razor blades stashed in your skull.

“SlaaayARGHHH!!”

The Unholy Alliance rolls into the parking lot of a redneck truckers’ drive outside St. Louis. The crowd cheer and pump their fists in the air – and into each other – as projections of inverted crosses and holocaust skeletons scroll behind Lombardo’s drum riser, tastefully emblazoned with a huge flashing ‘SLAYER’ logo that drips blood.

‘SLAYER!!’ drips the logo all over Auschwitz’s skulls. Flashflash! Flashflash! “SlayUGHH!!” roar the crowd.

They’re fucking brilliant, Slayer. Live, the four of them are tighter than a squadron of F16s. They hack everything out at a pace that kills. It charges the brains and bodies of the slamdancing Missourians – we spot one tiny girl taking on a whole circle pit full of musclebound meatheads, kicking and flinging heavy metal truckers into each other like atoms.

“Hey boy, do you cry when you masturbate?” sneers a liquored-up gang from their pick-up truck, taking offence at Hammer ’s bookish constitution and looking for a fight. We don’t give a fuck. We’ve just mainlined Slayer live and we feel fierce. Not angry, just wired and poised, like scorpions out on the town.

No other music makes us feel like this. Slayer are still the most killingest band on the planet.

First dates for Slayer's Unholy Alliance tour with Lamb of God, Mastodon, Children Of Bodom

Thrash metal overlords Slayer have announced the first few dates on their Unholy Alliance Tour . The bill, planned as an alternative to the more mainstream Ozzfest, will feature Mastodon, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom and Thine Eyes Bleed.

Slayer will deliver an hour-plus set to close out each night of the Unholy Alliance; Thine Eyes Bleed will open on all dates, followed by Bodom and Mastodon (who'll be rotating slots) and then Lamb of God. The two-decade running metal act - who has influenced countless metal, hardcore and other bands - entered the studio last week to record the 11 song album with executive producer Rick Rubin and producer Josh Abraham (Velvet Revolver, Staind)

The Unholy Alliance Tour - 7/3/06 Montreal Show Report

July 15, 2006, 17 years ago

David Perri / Pic by Jackie Short

Slayer’s Unholy Alliance tour hit Montreal, Canada on July 3, drawing approximately 8000 metal fans of all stripes and ages to the Bell Centre. Highly reminiscent – in spirit, at least – to Slayer’s 1991 Thrash Of The Titans jaunt, the Unholy Alliance featured a cross-section of metal’s most promising showing off their prowess (some more than others… I’m looking at you, Alexi Laiho) to a rabidly receptive audience.

Unfortunately arriving at the Bell Centre after the thrashtastic Thine Eyes Bleed finished its set (the band is great live, having witnessed them at the Trois-Rivieres Metalfest in late 2005), as we got to our seats Mastodon was just beginning to unleash its monstrous assault. It’s always weird seeing these bands you’ve checked out in clubs play arenas (the first time I saw Mastodon was summer 2002 and there were a whopping 32 people at the show – yes, I counted), but Mastodon commandeered the large stage with the energy of a band unafraid of anything. ‘Megalodon’’s mid-song speed metal riff was appropriately mega, and when the group’s menacing ‘Blood And Thunder’ closed the show more than a few mainstream Slayer fans had been converted to Brann Dailor, Troy Sanders, Bill Kelliher and Brent Hinds’ cause.

Children Of Bodom was up next and to say this band is metal’s new phenomenon is an understatement. Aside from Children Of Bodom’s first two records, I can’t count myself a fan of the Finnish group’s guitar ‘n’ keyboard wankfest; it doesn’t matter though, because it seems the vast majority of the sizable arena crowd was there for the Bodom crew. Children Of Bodom shirts in the audience were about as prevalent as Slayer gear (!), despite the fact that COB had no merch on sale (issues at the border possibly?). In that vein, the younger segment of the crowd headbanged to the group’s set with reckless abandon, singing along to each of Alexi Laiho’s wild-eyed anthems. Kids are completely eating this up at a huge rate, no doubt about it. Children Of Bodom did not disappoint its fanbase, bringing out hits ‘Silent Night, Bodom Night’, ‘Needled 24/7’, and ‘Hate Me!’ amongst others.

Lamb Of God’s set began shortly after Children Of Bodom’s and, as was expected based on previous performances witnessed, Lamb Of God’s burly, macho style doesn’t translate well live. While New American Gospel or Ashes Of The Wake work effectively on record, the group is too one-dimensional to pull it off in concert. It didn’t help that vocalist Randy Blythe’s stage moves and on-stage persona were highly reminiscent of Phil Anselmo back in the Pantera days (right down to Blythe’s in-between song banter, shaved head and wardrobe) - I mean, Anselmo hasn’t exactly been in everyone’s good books over the last several years… Regardless, Lamb Of God’s one-trick pony that manages to work on album was further rendered redundant by the ordinary delivery it was treated to on this night. And, by the way, a note to all bands: when in Quebec, don’t ask the crowd if they dislike Canadians as Blythe did (“Whatsa matter, you don’t like Canadians here?”). It’s knowingly or unknowingly opening a huge can of worms in this politically tumultuous province. I’ll give Lamb Of God the benefit of the doubt on this one, to be fair.

In a respectful move by Slayer, before the band’s set a gigantic photo of Dimebag (RIP) was projected onto the screen on stage and an assortment of Pantera’s most beloved tracks were played over the PA in remembrance of the affable guitar legend. A classy move from Slayer, the band that took Damageplan out on tour back in ’04 when no one else would (Dime and Vinnie’s words, not mine).

As Slayer began the first notes of its hate campaign, the crowd roared in approval. Starting things off with strange choice ‘South Of Heaven’ (why begin with a slow one?), Slayer then jumped headfirst into classics ‘War Ensemble’, ‘Mandatory Suicide’, ‘Seasons In The Abyss’, ‘Raining Blood’ contemporary slasher ‘Disciple’ (from God Hates Us All) and new song ‘Cult’. The most (visually) striking thing about Slayer’s set was definitely the gigantic upside-down crosses that adorned the stage. These weren’t just any satanic symbols, mind you - they were huge upside-down crosses made out of stacked Marshall amps. A very cool idea that was executed perfectly.

Though Kerry was adorned in his usual tough guy clothes, Jeff wore his Raiders jersey (and Behemoth-like leg spikes), Dave was his punky whirlwind self and Tom continues to be just absolutely fucking menacing, there were tell-tale signs Slayer is starting to see the effects of age. Araya’s stage raps – and especially the one preceding ‘Dead Skin Mask’ – were predictable, while his range isn’t quite what it used to be. In fact, he let the crowd do the scream at the beginning of ‘Angel Of Death’, not even attempting the high-pitched hell cry. Also, the fact that the band only played two songs from Reign In Blood was a little disappointing, given that 2006 marks the record’s 20th anniversary.

All in all, Slayer’s Unholy Alliance tour fulfilled its mandate: it brought together a diverse set of metal fans under the same roof to celebrate metal’s contemporary flair as well as its classic, yet enduring, past. Looking forward to seeing if Slayer will continue with this type of successful package tour in subsequent years.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
