The greatest metal band ever and one of my favourite and most seen bands Slayer are to retire
A part of me has just died
Properly gutted.
Might have to take a few shows on when the Euro leg of the final tour is announced

Sad news indeed - first five albums are legendary. Never the same without Hanneman though. Don't really have much interest in a band led by Kerry King as he was responsible for that horrible nu-metal phase they went through.
Dead Skin Mask is one of the greatest metal songs ever written

Here it is from Donington 1992(great line up in general that year)
I saw them at Donington last year for the 13th time and the were on fire. The best id had ever seen them. In the top 3 gigs I have ever seen. Jaw dropping stuff.
Seasons was easily my favourite album when I was first getting into them. Skeletons of Society and the title track are also great.
Show No Mercy is probably my favourite Metal album of all time. The style is a bit derivative of NWOBHM but the album is pretty much Heavy Metal distilled to pure essence.
Hell Awaits also seems to get overlooked. Both their most extreme album but also has progressive elements thrown in all over the place. Kill Again and At Dawn They Sleep are f*cking amazing.
Divine Intervention is vastly under rated too. From there backward are all fantastic albums]
I might have to carve slayer into my wrists and back in salute them
