As far as an update goes on guitarist Jeff Hanneman, who contracted some bad bacteria called necrotizing fasciitis early in 2011, they say he is recovering well from several surgeries.  They suspect that he got it from a spider bite.  Frontman and bass player Tom Araya said that they won't enter the studio until he is fully recovered.
