The pair have spent much of the summer working on new material, though ultimate plans have yet to be finalized due to the ongoing pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">In a new interview with Riff Crew (video <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TlS7wJtwOMA&amp;feature=emb_title\">HERE<\/a><\/strong>), Bostaph shared the following information regarding the new project:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;I guess the best way to put it is Kerry writes what he writes. You know what I mean? Is this gonna be a rock and roll record? No. Is it gonna be what you want it to be? Yes. Is it gonna be what you expect it to be? Yes. It&#8217;s not that it&#8217;s gonna be some rehashed stuff&#8230; it&#8217;s gonna sound like Slayer without it being Slayer, you know what I mean, but not intentionally so. I mean, Kerry&#8217;s been writing songs in Slayer his entire career, and he has a style. And that style, as a songwriter, you just don&#8217;t change your style because your band is done; that&#8217;s what you love to write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;Are things gonna maybe morph over time? Yeah. I would imagine so. I don&#8217;t think the first song Kerry wrote as a kid is the same as the last song he wrote for &#8216;Repentless&#8217; [final Slayer album], you know what I mean? Songwriters do change over time based on their influences and how they feel at the time. Kerry&#8217;s on fire right now. All I can say is if you like heavy music and you like Slayer, you&#8217;ll like this. Is it gonna be Slayer? It&#8217;s not gonna be Slayer \u2014 Slayer is done; they retired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;The thing about it is that we don&#8217;t wanna sound like &#8216;Baby&#8217; Slayer, you know what I mean? There is Slayer. But it&#8217;s gonna be good, it&#8217;s gonna be really good. I&#8217;ve been listening to the music and I just cannot wait to get into the room and start jamming with Kerry.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/lambgoat.com\/news\/33393\/Kerry-King-Paul-Bostaph-Slayer-to-launch-new-project\">Lambgoat<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drummer Paul Bostaph, most recently of Slayer, has confirmed that he and Slayer guitarist Kerry&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82681","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82681","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=82681"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82681\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82683,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82681\/revisions\/82683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=82681"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=82681"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=82681"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
