SLAYER Have Written "Seven Kick Ass Songs" For New Album
February 14, 2012, 12 years ago
In a new Facebook update, SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo says that "the King (guitarist Kerry King) and I have seven kick ass songs for you so far, you're going to soil your pants!!!!"
Jenn Selby from The Quietus spoke with Slayer frontman Tom Araya about the band's upcoming 12th studio album recently. Here are a few excerpts from the chat:
Status of guitarist Jeff Hanneman: "Jeff is recording and writing with us on the album. He can still play, and he is rehearsing with us. It’s just that he needs to get his chops up before he joins us live again.”
Producer for the album: “All four of us have agreed that the guy that we want to record our new record will be the same gentleman who recorded our last album (World Painted Blood), Greg Fidelman. We just had a really great experience with him last time, loved the sound, and, if we can make our timings match up, we would love to record with him again. We’ll probably bring him in towards the end of the writing process, which is what we did last time.”
When will the band enter the studio: “We are aiming to have something down by May, before the touring kicks off over the summer.”
