SLAYER singer/bassist Tom Araya has told Gary Graff of Billboard.com that in addition to the recently released new version of "Christ Illusion", Sony BMG's Legacy imprint will be re-releasing SLAYER's catalog, although no release dates or information about bonus material have been determined.

SLAYER is gearing up for its tour with MARILYN MANSON, which begins July 25 in West Palm Beach, Fla. Araya told Billboard.com the group is "going for an all-brutal set" that will feature songs SLAYER hasn't played in awhile, including "Bitter Peace" and "Ghosts of War". "We've been playing mostly the standards on this trip," Araya said, "so we kind of dug a little deeper and added a couple more to make it a little heavier."

As for the unlikely pairing with MANSON, Araya told Billboard.com, "you take a deep breath and go, 'Alright, let's see what happens.' I'm not a MANSON fan; it isn't bad, not my cup of tea. I'm not really a fan of it, but certainly Kerry (King, SLAYER's guitarist) is. And I would assume there are some SLAYER fans that are MANSON fans, and vice versa.

"What I really expect is a majority of the audience to be of looky-loos — people who wouldn't normally go to a MANSON show or normally go to a SLAYER show, but since it's one package, 'Let's kill two birds with one stone.' They want to see it 'cause it's such a strange bill — 'What's gonna happen? Let's check it out.' I'm just hoping nothing goes bad."
