SLAYER's Tom Araya and Dave Lombardo recently talked to BWBK about their upcoming album and DVD. Here's what was posted:

'On the new record, Araya says: "Kerry and Dave have six songs written, and Jeff has five done. We're going into the studio after this tour and then we'll start recording. It should be out by spring."

"So far it's been pretty intense,” Lombardo adds. “Kerry's material is definitely balls-out. Once Jeff gets involved in the song-writing, he'll bring in a different angle. I can't wait to work with him so we can blend the two styles, we'll make it a really killer record."

As for the the new box set, Soundtrack To The Apocalypse, due out on December 2nd, Araya describes it as “a bunch of Slayer gifts in a box. There's even this really rare item and its inclusion is going to upset some people. It was originally only a promo item, and we've seen it in stores selling for $100. Now you can get it for free in our box (laughs)."

Expands Lombardo: "It's looks really good, and it's got some really old stuff. People will be asking 'What? Is this Slayer?!' As for my role in the box, I wrote a bit for it. I contributed with some of the pictures. But, musically, I left it up to them. I didn't write any of the songs, so it was up to the other guys. I did make sure the songs I did with the band were addressed, though. I didn't want anyone to confuse the Lombardo stuff with the Bostaph stuff."'
