SLAYER Frontman Discusses Upcoming Album; Video Available

March 20, 2009

Artisan News Service recently spoke to SLAYER bassist/vocalist Tom Araya to see get an update on how the recording process or the band's new CD is going so far.

"This new album is coming together really well," he said. "We've been in the studio now for four weeks. I think four or five weeks and it's coming across together, you know it has all the SLAYER elements. I don't want to compare it to but it has very 'Christ Illusion'-type songs. You know, it's in that vein but there's also fast songs, l mean, [the recently released song] 'Psycopathy Red' — that right there should give you an example of the broad spectrum of SLAYER music is going to be on this album."

Watch video footage of Araya talking about SLAYER's upcoming LP at this location.

Multi-camera video footage of SLAYER performing the new song "Psychopathy Red" at the B1 Maximum club in Moscow, Russia on November 29, 2008 can be viewed below. Also included is backstage footage from the Moscow concert.

The members of SLAYER spent a couple of weeks in a Southern California recording studio in October tracking three new songs, including "Psychopathy Red". The Jeff Hanneman-penned song gives a chilling look into the twisted mind of Andrei Chikatilo, a notorious Russian serial killer.
