Slayer performed at the Forum in Inglewood, CA on August 5th, and the show was reportedly shot for a forthcoming DVD release according to support act Behemoth's frontman Nergal, who mentioned it via Facebook. Fan-filmed video from the show is available below. 

In a new interview with Westword, Slayer guitarist Kerry King discusses the band's longevity and becoming a principle songwriter following the death of guitarist Jeff Hanneman in 2013. Following is an excerpt from the story:

"If Slayer ended tomorrow, I'd be in a band that sounds just like Slayer, because that's all I know how to make up," King says.

In the past four years, King has been making a lot of it up on his own. Hanneman, who wrote many of Slayer's classic songs, died after he was bit by a spider and contracted necrotizing fasciitis. During Hanneman's illness, King took the reins and began writing new material.

"I was really just going for good stuff more than ever," King says. "Ninety-five percent of it was put on my shoulders for the first time. I wanted to make sure that I had a record that wasn't only awesome in my eyes, but pretty much bulletproof. More so than ever. You know how the Internet is. So many people say, 'Jeff's not here. Dave's not here. It isn't the same.' I said, 'Yes, motherfucker, it is the same.' I mean, there are some differences. I don't want to belittle that. But the Slayer machine keeps on going."

The songs King wrote during his bandmate's illness and after his death and one song by Hanneman make up the act's 2015 album, Repentless, a weighty effort that reinforces Slayer's reputation as producers of music full of rage, violence and speed. It doesn't push the band into new territory, something King says he has zero interest in doing.

"I like AC/DC for being AC/DC. I like Judas Priest for being Judas Priest. I think people like Slayer because we sound like Slayer, and they don't want us to do anything else," King says. "As far as maturing, going different directions, I have no desire."
