As previously reported,   SLAYER   will perform its iconic song   "Raining Blood"   on the July 27 edition of   "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" . The program will air at 11:35 p.m. on   NBC .

Immediately following Thursday's taping of   "The Tonight Show" ,   SLAYER   will head over to New York's Theatre at Madison Square Garden where the band will headline as part of its summer U.S. tour.

In a recent interview with   Revolver   magazine,   SLAYER   guitarist   Kerry King   was asked if there are any plans in place for the band to begin working on a follow-up to 2015's   "Repentless"   album. He responded: "Funny thing is,   'Repentless'   isn't even two years old yet, though it seems like it is. But from that session, there are six or eight songs that are recorded — some with vocals, some with leads, but all with keeper guitar, drums and bass. So when those songs get finished lyrically, if the lyrics don't change the songs, they'll be ready to be on the next record. So we already have more than half a record complete, if those songs make it."

He continued: "This is actually the most prepared we've ever been for the next record in our history; there's no reason to not do more work, because it's already more than halfway done. Just write four or five new songs, and give the others some attention, and we'll be good to go. If we get a down period of time, which I know is coming at the end of this year, maybe we'll focus on that and get to it."

Pressed about whether it's "conceivable" that we could see a new   SLAYER   record next year,   Kerry   said: "It's conceivable — but I'm certainly not gonna promise it, because every time I do, I make a liar of myself! [ Laughs ]"

"Repentless"   was released on September 11, 2015 via   Nuclear Blast . The follow-up to 2009's critically acclaimed,   Grammy -nominated   "World Painted Blood"   was produced by   Terry Date , who has previously worked with   PANTERA ,   DEFTONES   and   SOUNDGARDEN . The artwork was created by Brazilian artist   Marcelo Vasco   in collaboration with   Tom Araya   and   Kerry King .

"Repentless"   debuted at No. 4 on The Billboard 200, having shifted 50,000 equivalent album units in the week ending September 17, 2015.
