Slayer Discuss Working With Terry Date On Repentless

(Classic Rock) Slayer have praised producer Terry Date for getting the best out of the band on 11th album Repentless. The follow-up to 2009's World Painted Blood is due for release on September 11 and mainman Tom Araya reports that Date's guidance was invaluable in the studio.

The vocalist and bassist says: "Me being a singer, I need somebody who'll say, 'That sounded great' as opposed to having someone tell you how to do something that you've done for 30 years. I really liked him because he was so cool with that. He would guide me so a lot of the stuff came out f***ing awesome because of him."

Guitarist Kerry King says he respects the way Date worked with the band on Repentless and adds: "I don't want to be a producer because I don't have the patience for it. I just don't want to get involved in that and that's why we hire a person like Terry Date. That's his job in my book, and he did it well. It came out better than I imagined."
