Torrance, Calif, Sept. 4, 2015 – Scion, whose partnership with iconic thrash metal outfit, Slayer, birthed the now legendary Slayer-inspired tC sports coupe, have joined forces to stream the band’s new song, “You Against You” (http://www.scionav.com/2015/09/04/slayer-you-against-you/).
The song, which is from the band’s forthcoming album Repentless (Sept. 11, Nuclear Blast), will also be available as a limited run of 7” vinyl records in January.
Fans of the band can also view a video Scion offered this fall, featuring behind-the-scenes studio footage, a tour of the ESP Factory via Tom Araya, and a visit to Kerry King’s Psychotic Exotics’ reptile house and herpetology nursery (http://www.scionav.com/2014/11/14/scion-x-slayer-driven/).
Araya also recently spoke with Scion AV All Purpose Show’s Prince Paul for an extensive interview ranging from the band’s humble beginnings to the work behind Repentless: http://www.scionav.com/2014/12/02/tom-araya-of-slayer-interview-on-scion-av-all-purpose-show/.
About Slayer
For more than three decades, Slayer’s onslaught has proven the band to be the supreme thrash-metal band on the planet. The two-time Grammy-winners have also accumulated an abundance of Certified Gold Albums along with “Best…” awards from media outlets all over the world, including Kerrang!, SPIN, Metal Hammer, Revolver and Esquire.
Throughout Slayer’s history, the band has never faltered in unleashing its extreme and focused sonic assault and unlike many of its contemporaries who “commercialized” their sound, Slayer has remained crushing and brutal, steadfastly refusing to cater to the mainstream. Slayer’s founding member, guitarist Jeff Hanneman passed in 2013, and Exodus guitarist Gary Holt has been filling in since.
Paul Bostaph, who was Slayer’s drummer from ’94 – ’01, has rejoined bassist/vocalist Tom Araya and guitarist Kerry King and is back behind the kit. Slayer is set to release Repentless, their 11th studio album on 9/11/15, which Guitar World has already declared as “The Metal Album of The Year.”
