New Slayer is ‘eh’, says Slayer frontman’s daughter

You’re not alone in being nostalgic for Slayer’s Reign In Blood days, even Slayer singer Tom Araya’s daughter isn’t into the new stuff.

The meme below was doing the rounds again this week, leading two Reddit users to joke:

"Dad - you said if I came to the grammys I could meet Taylor Swift.. lets gooooo."

"Taylor Swift is a f*cking pussy, put on this eyeshadow and grab the goats blood."

Much to their surprise, Araya’s daughter, Ariel, then popped up, to clear up what was going on in the picture up and give her take on her dad’s band.

“I was 11 at the time when this picture was taken,” she wrote. “Having flash bulbs in your face and 30+ people yelling "LOOK AT ME" can be a little intimidating.

“I love the old Slayer. Some of the newer stuff is eh. My dad misses being home. He isn't lame. He's been the best dad he can be with our circumstances.”

Ariel’s lukewarm reception hasn’t slowed the band down, with Slayer releasing their 12th studio album, Repentless, in September 2015.
