Slayer’s Kerry King Says “A Lot Of Songs For [His] Next Record Are Already In Demo Phases”

During an interview with Metal Hammer, Slayer’s Kerry King confirmed that he is already working on the follow-up to his debut solo album “From Hell I Rise.” According to him, “a lot of songs for the next record are already in demo phases.”

King said the following:

“A lot of songs for the next record are already in demo phases. At this point in my career and in my life, I wanna get the record out, do the first tour for however long that takes us, but once that’s done Paul [Bostaph] and I want to get back into the studio and get record two out of the way. I will be prepared to record next year, but depending how long the tour cycle is, that’s a grey area.”

He also added the following about release plans:

“I’m old school, which is why we did an album. But I’ve gotta tell ya, there’s nothing that says albums are the path of the future. Maybe we put out four songs, go on tour. Then another four songs, another tour. I’m not sure. I’m planning on doing a second record and we’ll see what the public demands when that happens.”
