Slayer Announce New Album

by Peter Jolly

Metal legends Slayer have announced a new album release for August/September.

The band’s ninth studio album will be entitled World Painted Blood, and was produced by Greg Fidelman and Rick Rubin. Lead singer Tom Araya gave this statement to the press concerning the new release.

“There are two principal music writers in this band, so you are going to get a combination of speed and heaviness. Kerry’s (King, guitarist)writing is really aggressive and fast, while Jeff (Hanneman, guitarist) likes things to be fast, but with melodies and grooves. In making this album, we seemed to share the same vision from song ideas to titles; when we get together as Slayer, it just happens, nothing is contrived, it’s not thought out, we just do it, and we did that with this new album”

Slayer are co-headlining the Mayhem Festival with Marilyn Manson this summer.
