FROM SLAYER:
The end is near...
SLAYER TO MAKE ITS EXIT WITH ONE FINAL WORLD TOUR

After making some of the most brutal, breathtakingly aggressive, all-hell’s-a-breaking-loose music ever created, playing nearly 3000 concerts in all corners of the world, receiving countless awards, gracing hundreds of magazine covers, experiencing the devastating loss of a founding brother, and even appearing on “The Tonight Show,” the age of Slayer, one of the greatest thrash/ metal/punk bands of this or any age, is coming to an end.
Slayer will do one last concert tour around the globe to thank their fans for all of their support over the years, for making the last three-and-a-half decades so packed with good times and unforgettable experiences, and will then move on.
Lamb of God, Anthrax, Behemoth and Testament will support Slayer on the first leg, North America, of its final world tour.
Tickets go on sale to the public this Friday, January 26 at 10AM local time.
Very limited Slayer onstage + meet & greet + exclusive merchandise packages will be available.

FROM ADAM "NERGAL" DARSKI (BEHEMOTH):
„We are grateful and immenesely honored to be a part of this already legendary tour. Let’s call it... BIG 5 or ...SICK 5 as my friend Gary Holt suggested, hm?
We are bringing our most lethal weapon to North America and you can be sure we’ll be already playing a new song! There’s no way you can miss it out! Who’s coming?”
