Slayer is streaming “When The Stillness Comes,” their new song and single along with a live recording of “Black Magic,” recorded live at the 2014 Wacken Open Air Festival will be available as a seven inch vinyl picture disc on Record Store Day on April 18, 2015. Stream it below.
Slayer completed recording on their new album with producer Terry Date (Pantera, Deftones), who also worked with the band on “Implode,” which was available as a free download following the band’s surprise appearance at last year’s Revolver Golden Gods Awards. Other songtitles set to appear on the new Slayer album — tentatively due in August — include “Atrocity Vendor” (which previously came out as the B-side to the “World Painted Blood” seven-inch), “Take Control”, “You Against You”, “Chasing Death”, “Cast The First Stone”, “Pride” (working title) and “Vices” (working title).
Joining guitarist Kerry King and bassist/vocalist Tom Araya during the sessions for their new album are returning drummer Paul Bostaph, who replaced Dave Lombardo in 2013, and guitarist Gary Holt (also of Exodus), who has been filling in for Jeff Hanneman on tour for the past four years.
