SLAYER will hit the road on January 24 for a four-week North American tour. The dates are in support of "Christ Illusion" (August 8, American Recordings), the original band's first new studio album since 1990's "Seasons In The Abyss", and its highest-charting album ever (#5 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart). UNEARTH will open all shows.
"Over the past few months, we've had a great time headlining 'Unholy Alliance' in North America and Europe, bringing a killer five-act bill to the fans," said SLAYER guitarist Kerry King. "But we're looking forward to this next tour, where it's just SLAYER and UNEARTH, playing venues where we can be right in the fans' faces."
These North American dates come on the heels of SLAYER's successful international tour which, between August and November, took the band to SRO shows in the UK, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, Singapore, Japan, Holland, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Denmark and Sweden. While in Germany, the band paid a special visit to the U.S. Troops of the 52nd Services Squadron located on the Spangdahlem U.S. Air Force Base.
