02. Thirteen Ghosts
03. House on Haunted Hill (1999)
04. Sev7n

SLAYER is among the nominees for the 52nd annual Grammy Awards, which will be held on Sunday, January 31, 2010 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The nominees in the "Metal" category are as follows:

* JUDAS PRIEST - "Dissident Aggressor" (from "A Touch of Evil Live"
* LAMB OF GOD - "Set to Fail" (from "Wrath")
* MEGADETH - "Head Crusher" (from "Endgame")
* MINISTRY - "Señor Peligro" (from "Adios...")
* SLAYER - "Hate Worldwide" (from "World Painted Blood")

When asked by The A.V. Club in a recent interview if it's true that SLAYER is planning to do two more albums after "World Painted Blood" and then call it quits, Kerry replied, "I think that's a case of journalists taking the ball and running a little too far with it. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not 25 anymore, but I'd also be the first to tell you that I'm having a damn fucking good time. Of course, a lot of it depends on our recording schedule; I think a lot of this started to come around because it took us five years to do 'Christ Illusion' after 'God Hates Us All'. But what people are missing is that during that period, we had the 'War At The Warfield' and 'Still Reigning' videos, and we had a box set, and an EP. And every one of those products, even though it's not a new album, that put us to work and had us out on tour. But we took five years between records, and I know Tom [Araya, bass/vocals] and I both said, 'Well, if we take five years between each record, we might only have one or two left in us.' But these last ones, we did in only three years, and I think if we keep on a more frequent release schedule… We'll see. When it's done, it's done. It ain't gonna be like KISS. Our last tour is gonna be our last fuckin' tour."
