The Slayer Tour You’ve Been Waiting For

The two shows Slayer previously announced for New York and Hollywood finally have some company as the band announces an autumn rumble across the land.  Beginning in Alaska, the sonic onslaught continues in the lower 48 with stops in Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Austin, and other metal-loving markets.

For Slayer the upcoming road trip includes the band’s first performance in Anchorage, Alaska, since 1996. The shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden and the Left Coast’s Hollywood Palladium should also bring back a few memories.  The band hasn’t played either venue in a quarter of a century.

Guitarist Gary Holt continues to fill in for Slayer’s founding member, the late Jeff Hanneman.  Word from Slayer’s press wizards is that the band is working on new material and hopes to log some studio time before the fall tour, which follows the group’s September travels south of the border for gigs in Mexico City and South America.
