Slayer’s Kerry King had a recent conversation with Metal Hammer magazine where he discussed his new band project and revealed that the debut album has been done since June 2023.
About his new band, Kerry King said:
“If I was ever to try anything different (from Slayer) I guess that would be the time. But no, I really have no desire to do anything different. If I wasn’t in Slayer, I would be a Slayer fan.
”So yes, I think it’s an extension of Slayer, and I think a lot of people will think it might have been the next record.
”I guess maybe 80% of it would have been, maybe it would have been exactly what I’m putting on this one. In my eyes, I think it’s a definite extension, a follow-up to ”Repentless” for sure.
“There’s definitely some fast stuff on it. It’s not the fastest thing I’ve ever done, but I’ve done some pretty fast stuff. There’s definitely some Herculean speeds getting achieved on this, but there’s heavy stuff.
”There’s punky stuff. There’s doomy stuff. Pretty much any aspect of any kind of music we’ve done in our history, I think you’ll find on this record.”
