Slayer will release their single You Against You on vinyl cut into the shape of their band logo.

The track from their latest album Repentless will arrive on limited edition picture disc on September 9. It will also include a live version of War Ensemble from their 2014 Wacken Open Air festival performance.

It can be pre-ordered via Nuclear Blast.

Slayer guitarist Kerry King recently admitted that the future of the band is “very unclear” as frontman Tom Araya appears to be considering retirement.

He said: “He’s very unclear. That’s just how he is. I don’t know if he likes holding his cards in his pocket or what.

“I don’t have an answer. I’m holding off a lot of things I want to do at home, just because I don’t know if I’m going to be working in two years.

“I’m going to be working, hopefully in Slayer. What else am I going to do?”

When asked if Slayer could go on for another 35 years, he replied: “I don’t know about that – I’ll take another record or two.”

In other news, Araya was captured on video reacting angrily to an audience member who spat on him at their Comic Con show in San Diego last month.

Slayer are currently touring Europe and will appear at Bloodstock Open Air in Derbyshire next weekend (August 14). They’ll also kick off their North American tour with Anthrax and Death Angel next month.
