SLAYER lead vocalist/bassist Tom Araya is featured in a new video interview with Noisecreep, in which he talks about being honored with the keys to the city of Vina del Mar, his Chilean hometown, how he balances his Catholic faith with some of Slayer's edgier material, his appreciation of country music, and perhaps most poignantly, Araya's feelings about being away from his family on the road - and the pain it causes him.
