Slayer’s Brutally Honest Take on Other Thrash Bands

Digitally restored from the archives, this rare interview features Slayer’s Tom Araya and Kerry King in conversation at the height of the band’s rise through the thrash metal scene.

The pair discuss working with legendary producer Rick Rubin, label controversies, and their mission to push metal to its most extreme limits. They open up about their dark, shocking lyrics, why they reject political messages in music, and how their live shows became a release for both the band and their fans.

📼 Originally broadcast on the influential Music Box television channel, which reached over 60 million viewers across Europe and Asia, much of this footage has remained unseen for decades.
