One of New Songs May Address 9/11 Attacks From Terrorists' Viewpoint - December 3rd, 2005
Slayer are preparing to enter the studio to begin recording the long-awaited follow-up to the band's acclaimed 2001 release, "God Hates Us All". According to Revolver magazine, Slayer guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman are currently finishing up the lyrics, which will surely be as scathing, misanthropic, and controversial as anything Slayer have written. One of Hanneman's songs may even address the attacks of 9/11 from the terrorists' perspective. "We're Slayer, dude," King told Revolver. "We have to be dangerous."

Although nothing has yet been officially confirmed, King had previously told Metal Hammer magazine that he was hoping the band would once again work with producer Dave Sardy, who had previously produced Slayer's tribute to the great punk bands of the '80s, "Undisputed Attitude". "[Dave] Lombardo wants Rick Rubin for drums, and I've no problems with that because, in my opinion, it's what he's best at. But I think we're all pretty much agreed that the overall producer will be Sardy," King was quoted as saying.

Slayer's upcoming album will surface on American Recordings' new home, Warner Bros., sometime in 2006.
