Kerry King Says Slayer’s Festival Appearances Will Not “Translate Into Recording And Touring”

During a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Kerry King commented on Slayer’s upcoming festival appearances. According to him, the reunion “is not going to translate into recording and it’s not going to translate into touring.”

King said the following about the reunion:

“[It] is not going to translate into recording and it’s not going to translate into touring. For me, it’s three shows marking five years since our final shows, a fun, ‘Hey, remember us from before the pandemic?’ celebration.”

He also confirmed that he still hasn’t spoke with Tom Araya:

“It’s not like I’m angry with him or anything. We’re very different people, and we evolved into business partners at the end of the day. He has very different interests from me, and very different outlooks. Does that make me hate him? No. But I don’t need to talk to him every day… We just don’t have much in common. When it comes time to rehearse, I’ll have no problem showing up. We’re professionals, and that’s what we do.”
