Slayer

For over four decades, Slayer has cemented its place as one of the most influential thrash metal bands, standing alongside Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax as part of the legendary “Big Four.” With multiple Gold-certified albums and prestigious awards, the band remained true to its crushing and relentless sound, refusing to cater to mainstream trends.

In 2018, Slayer announced their farewell tour, a massive 18-month run that concluded in November 2019 after 148 shows across 34 countries. In a shocking twist, the band announced their return in September 2024 to headline three major U.S. festivals: Riot Fest, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock. All Hail Slayer.
