Joel Daly of "The Nervous Breakdown" recently interviewed Dave Lombardo. In this interview Dave revealed that he and Kerry already have 9 songs written for the new album, he also says it is planned to release an EP before the album gets released to keep the fans satisfied.

The Nervous Breakdown: So what's happening with SLAYER?

Lombardo: Writing new music. Kerry and I are writing new material. We have nine songs and everything's moving forward.

The Nervous Breakdown: Any estimation when the album could see the light of day?

Lombardo: I don't know, but we're going to do a three- or four-song EP to keep the fans pacified until we come out with the full-length record. Kind of like what we did with "Psycopathy Red", which was like a two-song 45.
