The members of Slayer spent a couple of weeks in a Southern California recording studio earlier this month, recording three new songs for a brand new album expected out summer 2009.
A clip of the guys recording one of the brand new songs, "Psychopathy Red", a Jeff Hanneman-penned track that gives a chilling look into the twisted mind of Andrei Chikatilo, a notorious Russian serial killer, can be viewed at Spin.com.
Slayer headlines the European "
Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" which kicks off this Monday, October 27 in Manchester, England, and wraps in Helsinki, Finland on November 27. The band plans to return to the studio early next year to finish recording the new album.
Fans who attend any of the upcoming European "Unholy Alliance Tour, Chapter III" dates, will receive a new Slayer song via an exclusive download card that will also include special material from the entire tour's lineup Slayer, Mastodon, Trivium and Amon Amarth. The download card, along with a limited edition "Unholy Alliance Tour" clothing patch, will be given away free only to ticket holders when they arrive at their local venue the night of the show.
