Slayer guitarist Kerry King has recently been talking about the follow-up to 2001's 'God Hates Us All', due by the end of the year.

"[It doesn't have a name yet] because every time you give one of those out, it always changes anyway."

"I think the idea is to get eleven [songs] on there. We have the music for ten and I have lyrics for four of those, so we're in the home stretch."

The upcoming CD will be the group's first studio recording since drummer Dave Lombardo rejoined the band back in December 2001.

King has previously said he wants Dave Sardy to produce Slayer's next album, but now there is rumour that the band may collaborate with 'Reign in Blood' producer Rick Rubin. "I don't know if he's heard what we've been doing lately, so we'll probably have to go do a demo in Dave's garage again, like the old days, get it to Rubin and see what he thinks."
