Suicidal Tendencies recently released their new album, STill Cyco Punk After All These Years. Frontman Mike Muir and drummer Dave Lombardo (ex-Slayer) discuss the new album and more in a new interview with Billboard.

In regards to punk, hardcore and thrash-punk crossover bands heavily influencing Slayer’s fast tempos, Lombardo reveals when he discovered punk in relation to metal.

"[Late Slayer guitarist] Jeff Hanneman introduced me to punk," says Dave. "He was a big Suicidal fan, [and one-time Suicidal lead guitarist] Rocky George was one of his best friends. At first, the [other guys in the band] were kind of apprehensive. As time went on, and they saw me and Jeff singing the lyrics when we were in a van traveling up the coast of California to San Francisco, they recognized a [like-minded kind of] drive in punk."
