SLAYER's KERRY KING Interviewed By Belgium's 'Whiplash'; Audio Available

November 27, 2008

Guitarist Kerry King of the Los Angeles thrash metal veterans SLAYER was interviewed recently by "Whiplash", a weekly metal show on Belgian national radio Studio Brussel, hosted by AFTER ALL guitarist Dries Van Damme. Listen to the chat in streaming audio at this location.

As previously reported, the German edition of the Metal Hammer magazine has posted a video interview with Kerry King. During the chat, King reveals that he already has a title for the band's next record and as many as seven songtitles, although he has yet to write the music for any of them. He also states that the album's previously announced summer 2009 projected release date might be a bit "optimistic" and he confirms that plans exist for the group to return to the studio on February 1 to resume recording the effort. Additionally, he calls Rick Rubin's a "phantom producer" who rarely shows up to the studio.

The members of SLAYER spent a couple of weeks in a Southern California recording studio last month 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.

Fan-filmed video footage of SLAYER performing the new song "Psychopathy Red" on November 21, 2008 at Valby Hallen in Copenhagen, Denmark can be viewed below (clip uploaded by "Solarsdk").
