The UK’s Metal Hammer magazine just posted a brand new video clip of the mighty Slayer in the studio recording a track for their brand new album, due out Summer 2009. The song was recorded by the band — guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and drummer Dave Lombardo — in a Los Angeles recording studio last October.

The song is called “Psychopathy Red” and it talks about Andrei Chikatilo, a notorious Russian serial killer a.k.a. the Rostov Ripper, who confessed to brutally murdering 56 children.

The song will be available as a seven-inch vinyl disc beginning Saturday, April 18, 2009 as part of the third annual Record Store Day.

Only 5,000 of these limited edition discs will be manufactured worldwide, and will be available exclusively at participating independent record stores.

Tom Araya stated: “This new album is coming together really well. We’ve been in the studio now for four weeks. I think four or five weeks and it’s coming across together, you know it has all the Slayer elements. I don’t want to compare it to but it has very ‘Christ Illusion’-type songs. You know, it’s in that vein but there’s also fast songs, l mean, [the recently released song] ‘Psychopathy Red’ — that right there should give you an example of the broad spectrum of Slayer music is going to be on this album.”
