Massive news for all the heavy metal fans.
The rumor mill is churning with the buzz that Slayer drummer Paul Bostaph is teaming up with guitarist Kerry King for a new project also featuring guitarist Gary Holt and vocalist Phil Anselmo.
The rumors started with an Instagram update from Bostaph on his self-imposed quarantine.
Overkill drummer Jason Bittner proceeded to ask if Bostaph projects down the pipeline, to which Bostaph replied “Something is brewing with a friend of mine that is very familiar to you. I’ll give you three guesses.”
Bittner’s response:
“Kerry, Gary, and Anselmo. C’mon, everyone knows by now.”
This was enough to get people talking even though Holt has made it clear in the press that Exodus is his priority following Slayer calling it quits.
Adding to the buzz is King’s statement in a recent Guitar World interview “Let’s just say… Dean didn’t sign me for nothing!” when asked if he has new music in the works.

There is no Slayer without Tom Araya.
There is no slayer without Lombardi and Hanneman
AGREED…
LombardO wasn’t there for years and we still had good music. Holt is an amazing guitar player and easily better than Kerry but can’t fill Jeff’s shoes because no one can. Tom is not replaceable either no way. If they name it something different like Venom did I’m on board but Phil cannot replace Tom.
100% yes.
You are out of your mind King and Henneman were the backbone of that band let’s not forget Dave Lombardo arraya was probably the least important piece there
Your an idiot slayer isn’t slayer without Tom
Tom Araya is Slayer and Phil Anselmo can’t sing anymore his voice sounds awful on anything he’s done post Pantera
If they hired Dave Ellefson to play bass and call it “MegaPanSlayer”.
Get Benante on the drums for MegaPanSlayerThrax.
I like the rockin role! Go heavy
This would be the dummest thing in thrash history.
It’s already bad enough Lombardo was never brought back and Hanneman is gone RIP
Now replacing Tom? With Phil ??
This has to be a joke
They can make a new band but if they call it Slayer I hope everyone eggs them when they play live ha ha
Really hope this is a joke
Slayer has always been Araya, Hanneman, King, and Lombardo. I stopped Slayer when Lombardo left the first time, and after Hanneman died, Slayer died.
IF TRUE…. This is a bad idea & it’ll suck
Apparently these guys didn’t learn anything when Bad Brains decided to tour without HR…….. That was an absolute train wreck. People were so pissed, you could hear the crowd over the music. And the crowd had nothing nice to say.
I can’t stand Phil, so this would be beyond lame.
I agree. If they do not call it Slayer and do not use Phil, I would definitely be interested.
Please don’t call it Slayer it might be good but it won’t be Slayer
Nowhere does he say it would be called Slayer, and Kerry has said he won’t continue with the Slayer name. So why is everyone assuming this would be called Slayer?
ah someone else who actually reads!
Phil is a very able both vocalist just as able as Tom Araya this is the ultimate super group
