SLAYER Drummer Paul Bostaph Uploads Home Studio / Practice Room Videos
October 3, 2014, 10 years ago
Slayer drummer, Paul Bostaph, has uploaded two new videos, the first from a practice session in his home studio, the second warming up in his practice room. See both clips below:
Bostaph recently posted stage footage of the band at Riot Fest 2014, which was held on September 12th at Humboldt Park, Chicago, IL. Check out “Disciple” and “War Ensemble” below.
Bostaph remarks: “The first song of the set. Cold and wet....I had to dry my shoes off on towels my tech had put on the riser for me. Enjoy!”
Previously, Paul posted more video from the studio during the recordings of the band’s new album with legendary producer Terry Date (Pantera, Soundgrden, Metal Church) at an undisclosed studio in California. Check out a recording room tour along with a quick snippet of guitarists Kerry King, Gary Holt (Exodus), and frontman/bassist Tom Araya getting ready to rehearse:

The follow-up to 2009’s World Painted Blood and as-yet-untitled album is tentatively set for an early 2015 release date. The album will make Slayer history as it will be released on Nuclear Blast Records through the band’s own label imprint, closing out a 28-year relationship with Rick Rubin and American Recordings. No name for the imprint has been decided on yet. All future recordings on the band's label imprint will be released worldwide exclusively through Nuclear Blast.
Slayer - Tom Araya/vocals, bass, Kerry King/guitar, drummer Paul Bostaph, and Gary Holt who continues to stand in for the band’s founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman - unleashed the new song “Implode” in April. The song was recorded at Henson Studios in Los Angeles with producer Terry Date and co-producer Greg Fidelman.
Slayer frontman Tom Araya told BraveWords late last year that the album will contain Jeff Hanneman originals.
“Yeah, there’s a good possibility of that. Like I said, there is a lot of stuff that he has and what he has demoed. That is something that I want to put effort, time and energy into, because he has some really great shit that I think people deserve to hear. There’s some really great music. Like I said, the song that he sent everybody was sent to us literally about a month before he passed. He had been working on it, he was excited; he was like, ‘Hey, I’ve got this song that I completed and I want to send it to you.’ So I listened to it, and I said, ‘Dude, this sounds great.’ I told him I really liked it, because I could hear his performance abilities. I really had to listen to the music, to hear what it was he was doing. But I could hear what he was trying to do. I was like, ‘Oh my god this is really cool; this is good stuff.’ And that’s the way it was with his material.”Read the entire interview here.
