Brazil's Wikimetal podcast recently conducted an interview with former SLAYER and current PHILM drummer Dave Lombardo. You can now listen to the chat using the SoundCloud widget below. A couple of excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).

On how being in SLAYER changed from the early years in the band to his final stint with the group:

Lombardo: "Things change, people grow. The normal process, the normal evolution that humans have. They grow up, they have their own homes. All they do is… When it's time to get together and play music, it's work, it's not a band. So that's the difference. When we were younger, it was like you were part of a gang, you were part of a team, and now it's just… you know… The last years, it was just like going to work."

On whether he wants to give his version of the circumstances that led to his latest departure from SLAYER:

Lombardo: "Not really, because it's already in the press, it's already in the media. I don't wanna bring that up again, because people, the fans say, 'Why is David talking about this?' So I don't care to talk about it anymore. And it's not because I'm crying or whining or complaining. No, it's because journalists ask me, and I'm being honest. But I refuse to speak about it anymore."
