A new SLAYER song called “When The Stillness Comes” will be made available exclusively through Scion Audio/Visual (a.k.a. Scion AV), the in-house record label and lifestyle marketing division of the Scion marque produced by Toyota Motor Corporation for the North American market. Snippets of the track can be heard in the six-minute behind-the-scenes clip below.
SLAYER is currently recording its new album at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood, California for an early 2015 release. The CD is being produced by Terry Date, who previously worked with the band on the song “Implode”, which was made available as a free download as a “thank you” to the band’s fans for their continued support following SLAYER’s surprise performance at this past April’s Revolver Golden Gods awards in Los Angeles.
Joining guitarist Kerry King and bassist/vocalist Tom Araya during the sessions for SLAYER’s new album are returning drummer Paul Bostaph, who replaced Dave Lombardo last year, and guitarist Gary Holt (also of EXODUS), who stepped in for Jeff Hanneman after Jeff became ill four and a half years ago.
