Slayer Probably Won’t Become a Jam Band
It looks like a case of hurry up and wait for Slayer's next album. The projected mid-September release date for the typically gorily-titled 'World Painted Blood' now looks like a bust. Official sources say late October -- just in time for Halloween kiddies...
