Slayer

Slayer is a thrash metal band from Huntington Park, California, USA, that was formed in 1981 by Kerry King (guitar), Jeff Hanneman (guitar), Dave Lombardo (drums) and Tom Araya (vocals and bass). In January 2018 the band announced the end of Slayer after a final tour which ended in November 2019. In February 2024 Slayer announced their reunion for three festival shows in September/October 2024. Note: Not to be confused with Slayer (3) from Texas, Slayer (7) from Arizona and Slayer (13) from the United Kingdom. This sometimes happens, when fans are looking for older demo stuff of the band.
