I interviewed Slayer’s Kerry King about their upcoming release, ‘The Vinyl Conflict.”
King said the initial naming process of ‘The Vinyl Conflict’ was generic and record label generated, like ‘Vinyl Series of Slayer Recordings,’ which King and company promptly nixed. “This isn’t the Eagles man,” King said with a laugh. “We have to have something cool. Everyone busted my balls, so I said, ‘Give me a second, and I can come up with something.'”

I spoke with Kerry King of Slayer about the upcoming Mayhem Festival with Marilyn Manson. Said King,
“Our last tour was with Manson, so I know what to expect,” guitarist Kerry King told Noisecreep. “The one wild card is that he has Twiggy back in the band, so they will be more fiery. And off stage, all he drinks is absinthe, so if I drink with him, chances are, we’re drinking absinthe. It doesn’t make me hallucinate or become a madman! I already am a madman. It makes me want to chill and listen to tunes.”
