Today I bought "Aardschok" magazine and here is what they write... "The new Slayer album will be released on june the 6th, that is 6-6-6. Although they haven't recorded a single song, the band has written 12 songs for the untitled new album. They're still searching for a producer." Nice!  |

They need to get it poppin if they hope to make that ultra-badass release date. They should be heading to the studio...like...NOW.
Too bad Rick Rubin is too busy producing Justin Timberlake (rumour) and Linkin park (fact) these days. Oh well. At least he's producing the next Metallica record too.
But yeah, back to Slayer. I think they're still totally relevant. God Hates Us All was great and I'm looking forward to this next one.

Yeah, I think I read that Rick Rubin was working with Justin Timberlake in last month's Exclaim! Everything Rubin touches is gold. This means Timberlake's next record is going to be awesome.
Or it might be Rubin's first flop ever and a sign that he's losing his mind in his middle-age.

I just read that Slayer has started recording the new album and that it is being produced by Rick Rubin and Josh Abraham. The article also says there is no word on a release date for the album, but that they will be on the Unholy Alliance Tour, which will begin on 6-6-6 in San Diego, California.
Edit: And most of this stuff I could have found out just by reading the Unholy Alliance Tour thread. Consequently, anyone else who read that thread would have known what I posted already. Stupid me.

From Blabbermouth:
SLAYER's New Album May Be Their Fastest Yet - Apr. 20, 2006
SLAYER frontman Tom Araya spoke to MTV.com about the group's follow-up to 2001's "God hates Us All", tentatively due late July. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Cult", "Catalyst", "Catatonic" and "Jihad". At this stage, seven weeks into recording, five of the album's 11 tracks are finished and about to be put through the mixing process. SLAYER still need to put the finishing touches on the remaining songs, but Araya expects the band will be finished with everything in the next week or so.
"This album is actually like a culmination of everything we've done," Araya said. "There's one song that I'm thinking will surprise everybody, because of the song itself. I'm not going to say why, because you have to keep that element of surprise, dude. Musically, it's going to blow everybody away. It's going to trip everyone out. It has all the elements of everything we've done. No one's going to be disappointed with this record. It's fast, heavy — maybe faster than anything we've done before. It's going to be brutal. It's what everyone expects from a SLAYER record."
A track called "Eyes of the Insane", Araya said, is perhaps the most political song on the album. The song was inspired by an article he'd read in an issue of Texas Monthly magazine.
"The song's about the effects of war on some of these soldiers," he said. "This article — and it was a pretty trippy article — it really affected me. The entire magazine was devoted to soldiers of this new Iraq conflict that's going on. The effect that the war has had on some of these kids who're coming home and having a tough time dealing with what they've seen — I mean, some of these kids are traumatized and mentally destroyed by what they've seen. The magazine also ran an entire list of the soldiers from Texas who've died. It was several pages with pictures of these kids. It blew my mind."
