Austria's
Mulatschag.TV has posted a six-minute video interview (see below) with guitarist
Kerry King of the California thrash metal veterans
SLAYER.
Kerry talks about the beginning of the band's career,
"Angel of Death", 9/11, and why he will not go for a beer with
METALLICA frontman
James Hetfield anytime soon.
A non-CD-quality version of
SLAYER's new track
"Psychopathy Red" — which is set to appear on the band's forthcoming album, due out summer 2009 — has surfaced on
YouTube and can be streamed below. The
Jeff Hanneman-penned song gives a chilling look into the twisted mind of
Andrei Chikatilo, a notorious Russian serial killer.
The members of
SLAYER spent a couple of weeks in a Southern California recording studio last month tracking three new songs, including
"Psychopathy Red".
SLAYER kicked off the European
"Unholy Alliance Tour: Chapter III" on October 27 at the Manchester Apollo in Manchester, England. The trek is scheduled to wrap in Helsinki, Finland on November 27. The band plans to return to the studio early next year to finish recording the new album.
Fans who attend any of the upcoming European
"Unholy Alliance Tour: Chapter III" dates, will receive
"Psychopathy Red" via an exclusive download card that will also include special material from the entire tour's lineup —
SLAYER,
MASTODON,
TRIVIUM and
AMON AMARTH. The download card, along with a limited edition
"Unholy Alliance Tour" clothing patch, will be given away free only to ticket holders when they arrive at their local venue the night of the show.
