Slayer entered the studio this past Tuesday to begin recording their new album with producer Josh Abraham (Velvet Revolver, Staind). The album, which is being executive produced by Rick Rubin (System Of A Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers), is expected to feature 11 songs, one of which will carry the title of "Cult". Furthermore, the band plan to launch a two month US run this June under the banner of the "Unholy Alliance Tour". Other bands featured on the bill include Mastodon, Lamb Of God, Children Of Bodom and Thine Eyes Bleed. There are intentions to make the tour itself an annual run, for more on all of that and Slayer's new album, check here.
