Video: KERRY KING Breaks Down SLAYER Riffs For France's GUITARE XTREME Magazine

October 20, 2015

France's Guitare Xtreme magazine has uploaded a four-minute clip of SLAYER guitarist Kerry King breaking down some of the band's more recognizable songs, including "You Against You" from SLAYER's latest album, "Repentless", "Angel Of Death" and "Raining Blood". Check out the video below.

"Repentless" was released on September 11 via Nuclear Blast. The follow-up to 2009's critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated "World Painted Blood" was produced by Terry Date, who has previously worked with PANTERA, DEFTONES and SOUNDGARDEN. The artwork was created by Brazilian artist Marcelo Vasco in collaboration with the band's Tom Araya and Kerry King.

The "Repentless" title track is an ode to SLAYER's late guitarist, Jeff Hanneman, who passed away in 2013. "I call it the Hannemanthem!" King said of the song. "I wrote that for Jeff. Oh, dude, it's fast as fuck. You don't know what the fuck's coming!"

He added: "It's my perspective of Jeff's perspective. It's what I think... If Jeff wrote a song for himself, 'Repentless' would be it."
