When you ask me, like, what if Glenn Tipton sang all of the Priest‘s songs. Would you wanna hear it? I am, like, that is a bizarre state of affairs, ‘trigger it is fucking Rob Halford. However I might be curious. It is intriguing.”

King lately sat down with Metallic Injection for an in depth interview the place he talked about {that a} Slayer reunion present in Europe may occur within the close to future, even when frequent Slayer reveals are largely not taking place.

“It is onerous to not. I am making an attempt to be actual and positively say, hey, we’re not gonna tour once more. And we’re definitely not gonna report once more, ‘trigger I’ve a method of doing that now with my band. [We’re doing] three reveals for now. And I say ‘for now’ as a result of I do know Europe’s gonna come knocking, ‘Hey, man, you guys performed America. Come see us.’ So it would not shock me if one thing like that occurred, nevertheless it’s definitely not on my books proper now.”
