New Slayer Album Has 'A Little Bit of Everything,' If Everything Is Defined As Beards, Riffs, and Satan

May 20, 2009 2:43 p.m. by Mike Burr

Slayer guitarist Kerry King says the band's new album will "have a little bit of everything on it," including the song "Psychopathy Red," previously available only as seven-inch Record Store Day release. King added that while the band's previous two releases fell into the faster category, the new record will be more like 1990's Seasons in Abyss. He was also quick to quiet any negativity surrounding the selection of Greg Fidelman, who took a lot of heat for the muddy sound of Metallica's Death Magnetic, to mix the album. King said that majority of the artistic decisions would ultimately rest with the band, and that "the last fifteen years of Metallica was not Greg's fault." Most other details about the album, including title and release date, are still up in the air.

Kerry King is so obviously jealous of Metallica's success. Slayer just keeps making the same damn song over and over. Good job guys, you've written one song in your careers.

Slayers music is great because it plays super tight without being so slick that it comes off sounding overly rehearsed. 'Reighn in Blood' sounds different form 'South of Heaven' which is different from 'Seasons' which all sound friggin great. But they all maintain that same great Slayer sound which all true Slayer fans love to hear over and over. Huttinington Beach rules!
