Ex-SLAYER Drummer PAUL BOSTAPH Teases New Musical Project

Paul Bostaph says that he is working on a musical project with a “friend” of his who is “very familiar” to everyone.

The former SLAYER drummer addressed his future plans while responding to a fan question on Instagram.

Asked if he has any “post-SLAYER projects” in the works, Bostaph responded: “yes! Something is brewing with a friend of mine that is very familiar to you. I’ll give you 3 guesses…”

One of the “guesses” came from Bostaph’s colleague, current OVERKILL drummer Jason Bittner, who chimed in with “Kerry, Gary and Anselmo cmon – everyone knows by now!”, referring to a rumored new band featuring Bostaph, SLAYER guitarist Kerry King, SLAYER/EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt and former PANTERA frontman Philip Anselmo. (It should be noted that Holt has stated in recent interviews that he is focusing on EXODUS for the foreseeable future, making his involvement in such a project unlikely.)

Bostaph, who has also played with EXODUS, TESTAMENT and FORBIDDEN, didn’t comment on any of the guesses, but he did reveal in his original Instagram post that he had “a surprise coming next week to hopefully help with the boredom” during the coronavirus downtime. He also urged everyone to “please stay home no matter how hard it is to be cooped up all day.”

King recently hinted at new music, saying that he’s not quite ready to hang it up.
