An extract of the chat reads:


So what’s happening with Slayer?


Writing new music. Kerry and I are writing new material. We have nine songs and everything’s moving forward.

 

What does it sound like so far?


Slayer.


So old school fans will be happy?


Traditional fans will be pacified and non-traditional fans will be like, “Again?”

 

Any estimation when the album could see the light of day?


I don’t know, but we’re going to do a three or four-song EP to keep the fans pacified until we come out with the full-length record. Kind of like what we did with “Psycopathy Red,” which was like a two-song 45.
