Legendary thrash metal band SLAYER has announced plans to “make its exit” with one final world tour. An official announcement video regarding SLAYER’s “final” tour, featuring a compilation of press clippings, early posters and press photos spanning the group’s entire career is now online.
SLAYER is rumored to be planning to hit the road in North America this summer, with support from LAMB OF GOD, ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT and BEHEMOTH. The trek is expected to be officially announced later this week. SLAYER, LAMB OF GOD and BEHEMOTH last hit the road in North America together in the summer of 2017.
SLAYER bassist/vocalist Tom Araya talked about his possible retirement in a 2016 interview with Loudwire. He said: “At 35 years, it’s time to collect my pension. [Laughs] This is a career move.”
