"Slayer frontman Tom Araya has been considering retirement so that he can spend more time with his young family. The 48-year-old joined the band in 1981 and has devoted most of his adult life to touring and making records.  Contactmusic quotes him as saying: &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t know yet [whether the band will continue]. I know this much: being away from your family so much doesn&amp;#039;t get any easier.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve been married for 15 years. I have a 13-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son and I want to make up for all the time I wasn&amp;#039;t there. I have nieces and nephews I&amp;#039;ve barely seen. This life demands so much of you, personally and physically. I honestly don&amp;#039;t know how I did the first 15 years of Slayer.&amp;quot; However, last month guitarist Kerry King claimed that Slayer have no plans to quit writing and performing.
