]]>“The age of Slayer, one of the greatest thrash/ metal/punk bands of this or any age, is coming to an end.” the band wrote on their official Instagram profile. “Slayer will do one last concert tour around the globe to thank their fans for all the support over the years.”
The band also summarized their career into impressive numbers which include 12 studio albums, multiple live recordings, compilations, live video and two box sets, playing nearly 3000 concerts in all corners of the world, receiving countless awards including five Grammy nominations and two Grammy awards, to make the sting from their split hurt a bit more.
You can check the Slayer’s full announcement and farewell tour dates below.
While it is a bit popular to organize farewell tours these days, most acts still commit to making music even after that. For Slayer, as it turns out, the end really means the end.
Formed in 1981 by guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, Slayer bought the fans with their fast and aggressive music becoming hugely influential for other members of the heavy metal genre. Some of the bands which cited Slayer as their main influences include Bullet for My Valentine, Slipknot, Cannibal Corpse, Pantera and System of a Down.
The band is a part of thrash metal’s “big four” which also includes Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax.
