SLAYER to put out new music by the end of the year?

Posted on June 18, 2008

The ever opinionated Kerry King of SLAAAYYYYYEEEERRRR gave an interview to Total Guitar Magazine recently where he revealed that the thrash gods may be putting out some new music by the end of the year…

"We're supposed to have one ready at the end of the year! There's been talk of all kinds of odd things, because the record industry changes every day. We've talked about maybe putting out a couple of songs from an upcoming record through iTunes, so we can play something new on the Unholy Alliance III tour. You know, that's not so far outside the realm of possibility. As far as how much we're gonna get done by the end of the year? I have no idea.

"Jeff [Hanneman, guitar] has a couple of things. I've got ideas that I've never finished, so I wanna get back to working on those. Some of them are really cool. I haven't recorded anything yet because I want to finish the songs first — I like them to have a beginning and an end before I demo them."

Very nice! Good to hear the band is being progressive in their thought process on how to distribute their music and realizing it may be more viable to put out an EP here and there as opposed to constantly putting out full lengths.
