Kristyn Clark of Pop Culture Madness conducted an interview with SLAYER drummer Paul Bostaph at the fifth annual Monster Energy Carolina Rebellion, which took place May 2-3 at Rock City Campgrounds at Charlotte Motor Speedway just outside Charlotte, North Carolina.

On whether SLAYER‘s recently recorded album has a title:

Bostaph: “You know, I’m not sure if I can… There’s a title that I think we’re gonna go with, but nobody told me I could tell anybody yet, so I guess I can’t tell you yet. But the new album’s done. I think we’re still trying to decide on artwork. But, you know, it’s a SLAYER record. I hate to keep going back to that, but it’s brutal. It’s got elements of dark stuff on it. We even tracked a song that [late SLAYER guitarist] Jeff [Hanneman] had written for the last record [2009’s ‘World Painted Blood‘], but it didn’t make it on the record. So that song’s gonna be on the record. It’s a really good song. It’s got a little bit of everything everybody likes. It’s brutal. It’s just SLAYER. That’s the best way to put it. After losing Jeff, which was obviously devastating to everybody, we did our best to carry on.”

SLAYER‘s eleventh studio album is expected out in August, and will be released on the band’s own as-yet-unnamed label through Nuclear Blast.
