Tom Araya Thinking Quotations

As far as thinking about death and murder and various ways of killing people and how people die... I probably have the most twisted mind in Slayer.

Yeah, yeah I think that's one of the biggest misconceptions towards the band. The biggest one is that we're Satan worshippers, but next to that just the fact that we're normal

I read a book recently by a psychiatrist who was able to interview a few serial killers and she had a thesis on how you could figure these people out. And she thinks that there are things that could tell you whether someone has the potential to do that.

I try to incorporate melody. Even though I'm screaming, I still like to think I bring melody into screaming.

This album is actually like a culmination of everything we've done. There's one song that I'm thinking will surprise everybody, because of the song itself. I'm not going to say why, because you have to keep that element of surprise, dude. Musically, it's going to blow everybody away. It's going to trip everyone out. It has all the elements of everything we've done. No one's going to be disappointed with this record. It's fast, heavy maybe faster than anything we've done before. It's going to be brutal. It's what everyone expects from a Slayer record.

A good wine has many qualities I think. If drunk moderately, it is healthy and good for your heart.
