In an interview with a Miami newspaper, Slayer frontman Kerry King said he doesn't see an end in sight for the band. The first question asked if, when he founded the band in '81, King thought he would still be playing 35 years later.

“No, because when we started, ‘old’ had a different meaning. ‘Old’ meant 55, and I’ve passed that number and I don’t feel old. Things hurt more than when I was 25, but Slayer shows are still epic. If Jeff were old, he’d say we did it for girls and beer. And I didn’t drink beer, so I only did it for the girls.”.

Then the guitarist is asked what the final chapter in Slayer's story will be:

“I don’t have an endgame in mind. Having said that, I also don’t want to die on stage. The good news is that we have seven or eight songs left over from the last album. The lyrics won’t change the music. They’re done, recorded, with the sound of “Repentless”. We have a lot of things – now it’s a matter of finding time to get back into the studio. The record label is already asking me to do it, but I don’t see it happening until the end of next year or the beginning of the following year.”.
