Slayer guitarist Kerry King insists that the surprise run of Slayer reunion shows this summer will be one-off performances, and that the metal legends aren’t going to tour again or make another record. During an interview on Sirius XM’s Trunk Nation, King said: “Every time I talk about it to journalists and magazines and stuff, I say, ‘Listen, Slayer is not gonna make another record. Slayer is never gonna tour again.’ May Slayer do a one-off here or there? Maybe.”
King also just released his debut solo album, From Hell I Rise, and he wants to focus on that project once these Slayer shows are done. “I told my band when [the Slayer reunion shows] came up, I’m like, ‘Listen, this is a blip on the radar to me.’ This isn’t a solo project that’s gonna recycle musicians every record cycle. You guys are with me till you don’t wanna be.’” (Consequence of Sound)
