Yesterday, Slayer announced they would be doing one final world tour and then calling it quits.
In a 2016 interview, Tom Araya said, “After 35 years, it’s time to like, collect my pension. I like singing and just spitting that hitt out and convincing everybody that this guy is a fucking maniac. It’s like acting. You feel the lyrics and you show them with your facial expressions, your body expressions, your intensity — I love that shit.”
Today they announced the first leg of that world tour which kicks off in San Diego on May 10th.
