After which get that to the file firm, and when that comes out, begin file cycle two. You may see us once more.”

“We’re by no means gonna tour once more. We’re by no means gonna make a file once more. Mark my phrase: we’re by no means gonna make a file once more, we’re by no means gonna tour once more. As a result of that was the very last thing. We mentioned [back in 2018], ‘That is our closing tour.’ It took 5 years for us to come back and say, ‘Hey, this is a few reveals, five-year anniversary.'”
On the few Slayer reveals that occurred in 2024, King added: “I feel it is actually cool. Plenty of followers are into it. There’s gonna be haters who say, ‘Oh, they retired.’ Yeah. No matter. That is all about celebration. Say a child was 10 years outdated after we retired. Now he is 15, 16. [It’s his] first alternative to see us. I feel that is vital.”
