SLAYER Frontman Interviewed At NAMM; Video Available

January 26, 2009

Robert Williams of Metal-Rules.com conducted an interview with bassist/vocalist Tom Araya of SLAYER at this year's NAMM (National Association Of Music Merchants) show, which was held January 15-18 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Watch the seven-minute chat below.

According to the Artisan News Service, SLAYER will announce a new co-headlining tour in the next few days.

In recent weeks, there have been rumors that SLAYER and MARILYN MANSON would co-headline this summer's Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, although this information has not been corroborated by an official source.

The members of SLAYER spent a couple of weeks in a Southern California recording studio in October tracking three new songs, including "Psychopathy Red". The Jeff Hanneman-penned song gives a chilling look into the twisted mind of Andrei Chikatilo, a notorious Russian serial killer.

"I've been making up riffs," SLAYER guitarist Kerry King told the Artisan News Service at the NAMM show. "I myself don't have any songs done but now that NAMM is over I can just sit in my room all week and finish them. I got a lot of great ideas, it's just not finished material."
