Paul Bostaph......back with Slayer

Paul Bostaph is "excited to be back" with SLAYER and is "looking forward" to hitting the road again with the band starting this week, the drummer revealed during his first interview since rejoining the group.

Bostaph recorded three albums with Slayer before he left the band in 1996 to concentrate on his solo project, Truth About Seafood, and was replaced by Jon Dette; however, he returned in 1997.
Bostaph departed from Slayer after the release of God Hates Us All, following a chronic elbow injury he had sustained that would hinder his ability to play. (although he later revealed that the actual reason for departure is because "Musically, I wanted to do something else".
This on-again/off-again relationship with the band has taken it's toll. However, he's back and ready to start a new chapter in the Slayer history books.

Besides Slayer, Bostaph has played with some other big metal bands, including:

Systematic (2003-2004)

Exodus (2005-2007)

Testament (2007-2011)

This also counts as the Drummer of the Week.
