Slayer to release EP prior to new album

Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo has revealed in a new interview that although the band has already written a significant portion of their next album, they will first release a new EP. Specifically, Lombardo had the following to say:

I don't know, but we're going to do a three or four-song EP to keep the fans pacified until we come out with the full-length record. Kind of like what we did with "Psycopathy Red," which was like a two-song 45.
