We jump outside our usual classic rock realm to bring you the most glorious Christmas light show we've seen all year. This eight-minute-plus tribute to Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman, who passed away earlier this year, is a must for any hard rock fan.

This may be the most impressive metal Christmas light show we've ever posted. Paying tribute to late Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman, a dedicated metalhead took the time to put together a phenomenal light show using a medley of Slayer anthems including 'Hell Awaits,' 'Angel of Death,' 'War Ensemble,' 'Raining Blood' and 'New Faith.'

How do YOU define heavy metal? Is it a sound? Is it a look? Is it a lifestyle? Is it all of the above, or something altogether different? October is Metal Month at Radio.com, and throughout the month we'll see artist interviews, plus mini-documentaries about metal, metal fans and the birthplace of metal.

The almighty Slayer is preparing to hit the road again, at least what is left of the band after the tragic death of guitarist Jeff Hanneman and the expected dismissal of original drummer Dave Lombardo. Regardless of their absence, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya and guitarist Kerry King have decided to push forward with a couple of hired cronies to fill the void. After all, it’s not like Kerry King can

After previously announcing concerts in Los Angeles and New York, Slayer have now revealed they will be embarking on a full, five week tour of North America. The trek launches Oct. 22 in Anchorage, Alaska (the first time Slayer has played there since 1996) with supporting bands Gojira and 4Arm.

Of course, the metal world misses iconic Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman. The axeman was one of thrash metal's greatest songwriters and it's truly sad that Hanneman will never bestow us with another gigantic riff. As much as we miss Hanneman, it's nothing compared to what the guitarist's wife Kathryn must be going through. In memory of her late husband, Kathryn Hanneman recently shared the sort-of
