How do you stay at the top of the metal game as one of the biggest bands on the planet? Slayer’s Tom Araya gives us his learned wisdom…

We’d better come up with some more ideas, because we’re in the studio and we’re recording here.’ You should never be pressured by anybody. You should take your time and there should be no rush. If you find yourself rushing, then you’ve set yourself the wrong dates. You should have deadlines, but don’t set them in stone. Life goes on. When it’s done, it’s done.
