Artisan News spoke with SLAYER guitarist Kerry King at the first-ever Rock & Roll Roast at The Grove in Anaheim, California last month and asked about the band’s follow-up to 2009's World Painted Blood.

King said "We got back out May 25th in Europe, then we'll be back in the States, of course,". "Hopefully we'll get in the studio to record before then, 'cause it's time-consuming. We're looking to get in March and April, so hopefully be done by the time we're outta here."
