August 30, 2012 Hurricane Isaac isn't as strong and powerful as we thought he was going to be, but he is still a major pain in the ass. Ride out the storm with these killer tunes.
Slayer are moving full steam ahead with a new album, and guitarist Kerry King says the fact that fellow guitarist Jeff Hanneman is still recovering from necrotizing fasciitis will not delay the new album moving forward.
The mammoth rock ‘n’ roll celebration to pay tribute to Marshall Amps’ 50th anniversary and the life of late mastermind Jim Marshall, has just gotten a little bigger. Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy has been added to the mix, along with Free founding member Andy Fraser and Slayer guitar god Kerry King.
As Slayer are currently on the road with the 2012 Mayhem Festival, guitarist Kerry King has given fans a bit more info about Slayer’s next album, which could see a release as soon as early 2013. The guitarist, who also provides lyrics for the band, is hoping to get some work done while on tour before hitting the studio once again at the conclusion of the touring Mayhem Fest.
June 5, 2012 Summer time has come once again (prematurely), which means it's time to hit the road and get the hell out of town for a nice little trip to summer where that doesn't feel like Satan's asshole. So, where could you go? What could you possibly do? Well, there are tons of summer concerts/festivals going on, so why not enjoy them? Here are the list of some must hit shows going on this summer!
Slayer‘s music is certainly meant to be consumed with an accompanying libation. So it’s no surprise that the band has launched its very own brand of wine, much like Motorhead and AC/DC before them. The first beverage in the brand is Slayer Reign in Blood Red. The Cabernet Sauvignon from California is available solely in Sweden right now, so it’s not like you can cruise on over to the local liquor retailer to nab a bottle for dinner. Yet.
Slayer are offering a thoroughly metallic twist on those popular Valentine’s Day treats known as “conversation hearts” as only Kerry King and co. can. You know ‘em – those pink, white and yellow hard candies with phrases like ‘Be Mine’ or ‘Kiss Me’ etched on them. Well, the Slayer version of said candies are black and red and they come in a jar stamped with the red red Slayer logo. But that’s not even the coolest part. The Slayer hearts boast phrases like ‘Hate,’ ‘Kill’ and ‘Destoy.’ There are even ones with the band’s name imprinted on them. Happy Valentine’s Day indeed.

December 9, 2011 So I am wondering, would my HOA approve of this? Because you know, nothing says Christmas like Slayer singing about Hell and Death Camps.
As the story goes, the people who do this kind of display every year aren't happy with this years display, but it is worth watching
A friendly rivalry, trying to be better than the next guy — members of Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer all have a slightly different way to describe their relationship with one another back in the day.
They’re on good terms lately, proven by the fact they’ve shared the same concert stage this year in California and New York, collectively billed as the Big 4. And while the metal bands are still competitive, it’s more self-contained now that they’re “out of the sandbox” and all grown up, according to Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich.
Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine has had his issues with Metallica since being ousted from the band nearly 30 years ago, but he’s apparently settled them because Megadeth and Metallica are on the bill of a series of shows, and a collaboration may be in the works.
According to the Rock News Desk, former Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul has made his strongest statement yet to shout down rumours of a band reunion without his brother Dimebag, who was shot dead on stage in 2004.
Paul says: “It’s ridiculous – Dime wa
