Slayer - No New Album Until 2018


Slayer guitarist Kerry King recently told Jägermeister that the band has some leftover material for their follow-up to last year's Repentless, but has no plans to re-enter the studio until at around 2018. So, don't expect a new Slayer album in the near future.

Kerry King explains: "We've got lots of leftover material from the last album, 'cause we wrote so much stuff, and we recorded a bunch of it too. If the lyrics don't change the song musically, those songs are done. So we are way ahead of the ballgame without even doing anything for the next record. And I've been working on stuff on my downtime. Like, I'll warm up and a riff will come to mind and I'll record it. I've gotten a handful of those on this run. So wheels are still turning. I haven't worked on anything lyrically yet except for what was done on the last record, so that's something I've gotta get on. But, yeah, Repentless isn't quite a year old yet.

He continued: "Me and Jeff would usually write 'till we got around the ballpark of a record, and there might be two or three left over, but this time there's, like, eight left over. Plus a lot of ideas, like half-songs. Like, the first half a song will go with another half a song. So we might be inching up on ten songs already, when I get down and think about it, and that's very unique for Slayer, and very cool, because can do a one-two punch on this record. We could probably start doing something at the end of next year, but, man, we've still got a lot of touring going on next year. So I'm guessing... What's this... '16, '17... I'm guessing it won't be '18 before we record anything."

So, basically King too fucked up in accumulating leftovers and he want to zipped this whole thing into one folder. Then, couple of riffs her and there, mixes into leftover and out new Slayer record in 2018.

baah, not interested.

Repentless has only been out a year so it's not surprising they're not rushing into the studio.

This is fine by me... I only really enjoyed the title track on their last album, couldn't get into any of the other songs really.
