Slayer Has Song About 'Trump's Nonsense' On Next Album

When artists work on new music, they're often inspired by current events, and that's definitely the case for Slayer. The rockers have revealed they've got a new song that deals with Donald Trump's "nonsense." 

Guitarist Kerry King told Snowboard magazine, "I have [a song] on the next record that is basically about Trump's nonsense, but it's really going to be about the Republicans just f***ing things up."

He explained, "I think Trump is a more individual ideology, for sure. The band, you know, whenever I try and address political songs, which we do, I can't say we don't, but I will base it on the U.S. government, because that's the government I know, but I try to make it vague enough so that anyone in any country can relate to it. I hate my chancellor, or, I hate my prime minister, I hate my government, I try to make it so that anyone can get something out of it, because if it was pinpointed at America, only Americans would love that song — or hate that song depending on what I say in it."

It's not the band's first time pushing the political envelope. Around the time when Trump was inaugurated, singer Tom Araya photoshopped a photo of The Donald into one of the band, angering many fans. Tom responded by chastising them, claiming he "thought it was funny" and asking anyone who disagreed to stay quiet. 

King meanwhile is definitely not a fan of Trump saying, "I never used to wake up and watch CNN, but I do now — just to see what fucking idiocy this guy's said that day. It's not even weekly. It's f***ing daily." Drummer Paul Bostaph agreed calling Donald Trump "the biggest joke I've ever seen in my life." 

No word yet when Slayer's next album will come out but you can stay up to date here.
