SLAYER frontman Tom Araya spoke to Jenny Feniak from Jam.canoe.ca about a number of topics recently including their upcoming album Christ Illusion (out August 8th via American) and the fact that there are no issues between his Catholic faith and the band's subject matter.
"Kerry's written some really far out shit," admits Araya. "If it's a good song, I'm not one that's going to go, 'This sucks because it's contrary to my beliefs.' To me it's more like, 'This is really good stuff. You're going to piss people off with this.' People have these heavy issues and ask, 'Isn't this a problem for you?' and no. I'm well-rounded, I have a really strong belief system and these are just words and they'll never interfere with what I believe and how I feel," he continues. "People are not in good shape to where they have to question their own belief system because of a book or a story somebody wrote, or a Slayer song."
