Currently touring in support of "Repentless," which managed to become the #2 album in the world last year upon release, the band has also been doing the regular slew of interviews.

In one such chat, Slayer's Kerry King had some choice words for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump... and Trump's supporters.

King came out in support of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on a recent interview with Rolling Stone. Excerpts from the interview follow.

"I'm certainly not a political analyst, but I think that Hillary Clinton is the safe, correct choice," he tells Rolling Stone. "Trump is just a sideshow," he continues. "I'm not even going to apologize to all the Trump followers." King laughs. "I think the reason he's so popular is because he's like the politics version of WWE. He's sensational like wrestling and that's why middle America loves him."

King thinks that part of Trump's wrestling-like appeal is his ability to talk smack. "He's the biggest liar I've ever seen in politics," he says with a laugh. "I mean, most of them are liars, but he just outright in-your-face lies."

When Rolling Stone mentions that King might offend some of his more conservative fans, he says his opinion shouldn't make any difference to them. "People just have to make up their minds and not be into things because their friends are into it or because their girlfriend or their spouse or whoever is into it," he says. "People have to be individuals. ... Sounds like I'm talking about religion, doesn't it?" He laughs.

In other news, Slayer also has a "Repentless" comic series on the horizon and release a music video for "You Against You."
