Kerry King admitted that he does not like Slayer’s 1998 album Diabolus in Musica, or significantly of their ’90s material at all, for that matter.

There was a shift in what forms of heavy music had been preferred when the ’90s came about, specially as nu-metal began taking off later in the decade. During a conversation with Metal Blast, King explained why he’s not a fan of Slayer’s ’90s albums, but especially Diabolus in Musica.

“I don’t like the stuff we did in the ’90s,” King asserted, noting that that is the 1 era of his profession he regrets not paying extra interest to.

“I was very disenchanted by music because bands that were getting popular I didn’t understand. And I still don’t understand,” he continued. “I never liked Limp Bizkit. I never liked bands of that era. It just bummed me out and turned me off. And it’s really visible to me on Diabolus In Musica. I didn’t pay any attention to that album.”

Although the guitarist wrote a couple of songs for the 1998 release, he recalled not contributing as significantly to it as he had on other records. Thus, he was capable to refocus by the time they began functioning on 2001’s God Hates Us All. 

“I think Jeff [Hanneman] tried to embrace being a little different [in the ’90s] and I just hated it. And it shows in my contribution,” King remembered of functioning on Diabolus in Musica.

“Some people really like that album, but it’s definitely not my favorite… The late ’90s just — it’s not a good point in my history, in my mind.”

Funny sufficient, Tom Araya told us he is not a significant fan of yet another 1 of Slayer’s ’90s albums — 1994’s Divine Intervention — which he does not assume is their most effective “production-wise” and as a result is not his favored.
