In the two-and-a-half-minute video below (courtesy of Fuse), SLAYER bassist/vocalist Tom Araya recalls the first time the band visited Belgium in 1985, and why he became the de facto bus driver.SLAYER is tentatively scheduled to enter the studio in early 2014 to begin recording its new album. Joining Araya and guitarist Kerry King during the sessions will be returning drummer Paul Bostaph, who replaced Dave Lombardo last year, and guitarist Gary Holt (also of EXODUS), who has been filling in for late SLAYER axeman Jeff Hanneman on tour for the past three years.Bostaph was SLAYER's drummer from 1992 until 2001 and recorded four albums with the band the gold-certified "Divine Intervention" (1994), the 1996 punk covers album "Undisputed Attitude", "Diabolus In Musica" (1998), "God Hates Us All" (2001) that received a Grammy nomination for "Best Metal Performance", as well as the DVD "War At The Warfield" (2001), also certified gold. In addition to SLAYER, Bostaph has been a member of FORBIDDEN, EXODUS, SYSTEMATIC and TESTAMENT.Original SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo sat out the band's Australian tour in February/March 2013 due to a contract dispute with the other members of the group. Filling in for him was Jon Dette (TESTAMENT, ANTHRAX).
