'Slayer guitarist Kerry King refused the idea that late guitarist Jeff Hanneman\'s spirit is leading the band. Asked to comment by the Village Voice, Kerry stated: \"Jeff is worm food. When you die you go in the dirt. There is no doubt. Doubt\'s called agnostic. I\'m not agnostic.\" Focusing on the \"Piano Wire\" track, a song written by Hanneman and included on the band\'s last album \"Repentless,\" Kerry said: \"I didn\'t know this until Tom Araya told me recently. I didn\'t talk to Jeff about that song, because I didn\'t really have to police Jeff. If he wrote it, I was pretty sure it was all right. \"It was about sometime in World War II, because he was a big World War II history buff. I don\'t know the exact instance, but apparently the Germans would hang people from buildings by piano wire as a warning to people not to go against them. That\'s a very general description.\" Discussing the new album\'s title, King said: \"I went with it based on Slayer. Slayer is repentless; Slayer\'s always been repentless. I said, \'You know what, I should write something about how I think Jeff looked at the world, because he looked at the world exactly how Slayer looked at the world.\' \"Plus little \'Jeff-isms.\' It was both easy and difficult. The difficult part was doing it justice; I didn\'t want to just throw it together. I wanted it to be solid, as deep as it could be without getting personal.\"'
