Tom Araya, frontman of Slayer, has been talking about how long the band can continue after their next album, their last with heavyweight rock producer Rick Rubin, reports DiS.
You
were quoted a while ago as saying that after the next Slayer album you
would have to discuss whether to continue as a band. Are you really
going to talk about winding up the band? “
Yeah. Let’s put it
this way, this is the final record of our commitment with Rick Rubin.
When we first signed a deal with HIM back in 1986, we never sat Down
and said, ‘How long do you guys want to keep this together?’”
Araya also talks about the third
Unholy Alliance tour, upon which they have taken
Trivium,
Mastodon and
Amon Amarth along for the ride.
He defends the fact they have decided to take some more established
acts on the road rather than using their position of
Superior metal
beings to help
Unearth some of the world’s hottest metal talent by
explaining that those bands really help to put bums on seats.
