It's Official: SLAYER Reunites, Announces First Shows In Five Years

SLAYER has officially reunited and will return to the live stage in September.

For the first time since the band wrapped the last concert of its world tour back in November 2019, SLAYER — Tom Araya (bass, vocals), Kerry King (guitar), Gary Holt (guitar) and Paul Bostaph (drums) — will return to the stage this fall, headlining two major festivals, Riot Fest and Louder Than Life .

"Nothing compares to the 90 minutes when we're on stage playing live, sharing that intense energy with our fans," Araya said, "and to be honest, we have missed that." King added: "Have I missed playing live? Absolutely. SLAYER means a lot to our fans; they mean a lot to us. It will be five years since we have seen them."

So far the following dates have been announced:

Sep. 22 - Riot Fest - Chicago, IL Sep. 27 - Louder Than Life - Louisville, KY

"We're thrilled to announce that SLAYER will be reuniting for an earth-shattering performance at Louder Than Life ," says Danny Wimmer of Danny Wimmer Presents . "I was at their last show at The Forum in 2019 and have been working since then to bring them back to the Louder stage! With over 140 bands on five stages, we're celebrating our 10th Louder Than Life with the biggest lineup yet!"

Earlier this month, Kerry said that he had not been in contact with Tom since SLAYER played its final show more than four years ago.

The 59-year-old guitarist discussed his band's decision to call it quits while speaking to Rolling Stone about his new solo project.

Asked how he found out SLAYER 's bassist/vocalist wanted to retire, Kerry said: "We were on tour and some kid was interviewing him, and he said something about, 'I've got to get together with Kerry and talk before we talk about the next record.' He should have just said, 'I'm probably not going to do another record,' or had that conversation with me before he mentioned anything like that. I was just assuming, 'Oh fuck, what's this going to be?' And it was, 'I'm done.' Not what I expected. But if you made that decision, I'm not going to try to talk you out of it because your heart's not going to be in it anyway."

Regarding why Araya had decided to retire, King said: "I think just the wear and tear of the road. I think he wanted to be home. None of us are real spotlight seekers, but he's certainly not. And when [late SLAYER guitarist] Jeff [ Hanneman ] was around, he was like a hermit. He did not want fame. I tolerate fame. Somebody's got to be that guy."

Kerry also confirmed that personality differences contributed to SLAYER 's eventual split.

"Me and Tom have never been on the same page," he said. "Like if I want a chocolate shake, he wants a vanilla shake. ' Kerry , what color is the sky?' Blue. ' Tom , what color is the sky?' White. We're just different people. The further on in years we got, it just became more.

"Am I going to hang out with Tom ? He likes tequila a little bit and I'm a big tequila-head, so I'll have my shot with him, and we'll part ways. We're not going to hang out or anything because we are very different people. And together, we made great music and a great live show."

Asked if he has talked to Tom at all since the last SLAYER show," Kerry said: "Not even a text. Not even an e-mail. I've talked to everybody else from the band on the phone, text, or e-mail. If Tom hit me up, I'd probably respond. It probably depends on what he hit me up for, but I don't wish him dead at this moment."

Pressed about whether he and Tom could make another SLAYER album, Kerry said: "I can pretty much a hundred percent say no because I have a new outlet, and it's not SLAYER , but it sounds like SLAYER . I'm making the music I like to make still, so I don't need to do that. Records don't sell anymore anyway. It's just a means to have a product out so people know what I'm playing when I come to town."

As for the possibility of SLAYER touring again, Kerry said: "I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. Could SLAYER play a show again? I'm sure there's a scenario. Am I looking for it? No, I'm just getting ready to start my career. So if that happens, it happens. But I'm going to be doing this [solo band] for the next 10 years at least."

SLAYER played the final show of its farewell tour in November 2019 at the Forum in Los Angeles. One day later, Kerry 's wife Ayesha said that there is "not a chance in hell" that the thrash metal icons will reunite for more live appearances.

SLAYER 's final world tour began on May 10, 2018 with the band's intention to play as many places as possible, to make it easy for the fans to see one last SLAYER show and say goodbye. By the time the 18-month trek wrapped at the Forum, the band had completed seven tour legs plus a series of one-off major summer festivals, performing more than 140 shows in 30 countries and 40 U.S. states.

Araya talked about his possible retirement in a 2016 interview with Loudwire . He said: "At 35 years, it's time to collect my pension. [ Laughs ] This is a career move." He continued: "I'm grateful that we've been around for 35 years; that's a really long time. So, yeah, to me, it is. Because when we started off, everything was great, because you're young and invincible. And then there came a time where I became a family man, and I had a tough time flying back and forth. And now, at this stage, at the level we're at now, I can do that; I can fly home when I want to, on days off, and spend some time with my family, which is something I wasn't able to do when [my kids] were growing up. Now they're both older and mature. So now I take advantage of that." Araya added: "Yeah, it just gets harder and harder to come back out on the road. 35 years is a long time."

Tom also revealed another reason for his diminished enjoyment of the touring life. He said: "There's things that have gone on in my life that have made me change how I play as a bass player. I had neck surgery, so I can't headbang anymore. And that was a big part of what I enjoyed doing what I do — singing and headbanging. I liked knowing that I was one of the fucking badass headbangers. That played a big part. Now I just groove with the music, which is cool, because I'm grooving with the music and the feel of the songs, so that's changed a little for me."

It gets you when you least expect it. 9.22.24 - Riot Fest - Chicago, IL 9.27.24 - Louder Than Life - Louisville, KY http://www.slayer.net Posted by Slayer on Wednesday, February 21, 2024

All slayer and kerry king 2024 tour dates so far.

After announcing their retirement in 2019 followed by a world tour, Slayer announced their return in 2024. The group announced that they will perform at the Riot Fest in Chicago next September and at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville in the same month. Alongside Tom Araya (Bass and vocals) and Kerry King (Guitar), the final members of the band Paul Bostaph (Drums) and Gary Holt (Guitar) will also come back for these shows.

“Nothing compares to the 90 minutes when we’re on stage playing live, sharing that intense energy with our fans and to be honest, we have missed that,” Tom Araya said.

Kerry King also talked about the return, saying: “Have I missed playing live? Absolutely. Slayer means a lot to our fans. They mean a lot to us. It will be five years since we have seen them.”

The surprising announcement came a few weeks after the guitarist Kerry King said that he didn’t speak to Araya since the band came to an end. But it doesn’t seem like Slayer will tour around the world at least this year since Kerry King now has a solo band and has many scheduled tour dates in 2024.

So far, these are the only Slayer performances that have been announced, so it's unclear whether they're going to tour or release new music again. Their last album,  Repentless,  came out in 2015.

King recently announced his new solo band and his first album , and also shared that he hadn't spoken to  Araya since their final show in 2019. However, it seems that has changed.

Slayer are a thrash metal band from Huntington Park, California, U.S., formed in 1981 by guitarists Jeff Hannemann and Kerry King.

One of the highly-revered ‘big four’ of the thrash metal genre, alongside their contemporaries Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax, Slayer have always been defined by two thing; the ferocity and speed with which they play, and the deeply dark nature of their thematic approach and lyricism, where pretty much nothing has been off limits - everything from Satanism to necrophilia has cropped up over the course of their ten records to date. The group is currently comprised of King on guitar, bass-playing frontman Tom Araya, drummer Paul Bostaph and guitarist Gary Holt; founding guitar player Hannemann passed away last year. The band made their name with their third album, “Reign in Blood”, in 1986; that record’s kind-of title track “Raining Blood” is effectively their signature song.

They’ve continued to both entertain, influence and provoke in equal measure ever since; from (albeit inadvertently) managing to release a record entitled “God Hates Us All” on September 11th, 2001 to routinely being accused of Nazi sympathies, Slayer have certainly earned more than their fair share of notoriety, but it’s perhaps in terms of their huge influence on the genre of metal in general that they’ll be best remembered over time; everybody from System of a Down to Slipknot to Darkthrone have attributed some of their style to Slayer over the years, proving their towering stature within the metal community.

Live reviews

Slayer is frighteningly intense live. You could either get your skull cracked open in a mosh pit or from the sheer amplitude of Kerry King’s guitar. But that’s the thrill of attending a Slayer concert.

It is impossible to be anything other than fully engaged at a Slayer show with red lights of doom blaring on the stage, pentagrams and World War II imagery depicted in the background, and stacks of guitar amps blaring in your face at full volume all while trying to avoid getting beat to a pulp in a mosh pit. Slayer’s performance is fast and loud with their songs relying on fast tremolo picking, booming double bass pedals pounding away at the bass drums, and dueling guitars playing chaotic melodies in irregular scales creating dissonant sounds.

Slayer has a unique style of performing by playing at rapidly fast tempos and tuning their guitars to very low pitches getting deeper, heavier sounds. Slayer has gained critical acclaim already being nominated for five grammys, and are considered one of the most influential metal bands having directly inspired the genres of death metal and black metal. The singer, Tom Araya, adds much charisma to Slayer’s style with his death-like screams, and the violent imagery depicted in Slayer’s lyrics puts Slayer in a hardcore level of their own.

It is unpredictable what one might see at a Slayer concert. You might see a fan carving an upside down cross in their skin or you might see someone in a wheelchair crowd surfing, as I saw at my first Slayer concert. One thing you can predict is a mind-blowing thrill of a ride.

Slayer Still Stay True to Roots

Slayer still know how to deliver the goods and deliver them well in a world where so much music has become formulaic. The band performed older and newer numbers such as Angel of Death, South of Heaven and Reign in Blood at a high octane level of energy, all against a backdrop of upside down crosses. During the song Angel of Death, the backdrop also displayed a variation on the Heineken beer logo, showing and paying homage to the late guitar player Jeff Hanneman who passed away last year. What I found most memorable was the pit area, seemingly a sea of fans moshing constantly throughout the set and making it appear as if the floor itself were moving!

Opening for Slayer were thrash and groove metal bands Exodus and Suicidal Tendencies. Both set the stage and night for a great fusion of different yet similar music genres and sub genres. Gary Holt, veteran ax man for Exodus, did double duty churning out guitar solos and riffs for both them and in his gig with Slayer at the end of the night, proof positive that he has truly hit the ground running with the latter band! A grand night out as always with them!

What a crap-hole of a venue. Google maps kept sending us to the VIP entrance (which of course costs more $$$). Parking was a nightmare, it rained and was muddy. Everything was monetized, down to the height of the chairs you were allowed to bring in. Water was allowed in sealed containers only (unopened with the little ring attached, yeah this was wasteful). Wow -- $16 beers, no thanks. $45 per tee-shirt in the merch, even for the opening bands. You have to pay to get closer to the band. Pit tickets were upwards of $200+, what a joke. The cameras and projection screens weren't even turned on until Lamb of God. Beers of fishing quality were being sold for $10 a can, and the good beers were $16 each. My wife got a shot that was $15. Sound was ok. Cannibal Corpse played for a whole 20 minutes. We were up in the lawn-grass area and there was fresh manure spread on the hillside, wafting in our direction. Ironic due to the crappy quality of our experience.

Can't wait for Maryland Deathfest 2019 and Devastation on the Nation 2019-- Two shows that I spent a lot less money on and get a lot more trve cvlt metal out of.

Slayer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They rocked!!! I saw them in Bakersfield where it was standing room only, and the pit was awesome. That being said, if you're not down for that, you can still stand (mostly) in peace. It was LOUD. Which is AWESOME. But for the songs I didn't know, I put in earplugs to save my hearing just a little. Defnitly at bring at least a pair (I lost mine in the moshpit and had to use beer stained, trampled, earplugs). And the show was great, they keep the intensity going the whole way through. Even my dad, who didn't know a single song, enjoyed the concert just from the intensity in the pit and onstage. Tom engaged the crowd a little, but for the most part it was all about the music. I would've liked an encore, but eh my ears were dead anyways. Overall great show, I can't wait to see them again.

I saw each of the final tour legs that hit Ohio and each was amazingly awesome! The sounds was great. The viewing was great (we had floor), it’s sad for me to think this is the end but I feel like they may do festivals and a one off here or there. I will surely attend! I drag my husband to these shows and he is not a Fuckin Slayer fan at all, but he even admitted these final tours are pretty awesome even though once Fuckin Slayer comes on, it just sounds like one giant song to him until we leave. Lol I disagree, but he did not grow up with them the same as me. I will be a die hard Fuckin Slayer to the end and can’t wait to see what is in store for them in the future! Final Leg Tour Number 9 maybe???? Regardless, I will be there! Fuckin Slaaaaaayyyerrrr!!!!

Slayer came out on stage completely apathetic. Like they couldn't wait to get out of our state! I've been a life long fan since 84' and this was not a great performance. Yes they sounded good stage pyrotechnic were ok,but they played with no emotion or heart at all. Tom got all pissed off over something in the mosh pit. Stopped playing for at least 9 minutes in middle of set. Then cussed out the crowd told off Albuquerque then played 4 more songs cut set short no oncour just walked off stage. What assholes!! People pay a lot of money. For him to do that is bull shot!!don't plan to ever pay for another Slayer show again!

There's few words that can be said about this band and this show that would do them justice.

Slayer is an amazing band overall and I've been listening to them since I was a teenager. I was never disappointed about the quality of their albums.

The show was simply sensational! Besides the sweet music played by the band the stage props were really great.

The fire show was another incredible piece, I really loved how some of the flames were forming a pentagram.

Their band logo burning while they played Angel of Death was really great!

I'm never good with endings, but all I can say is that I loved it!

I know that saying "that was fire!" is a pretty common and basic way of praising something, but considering the actual fire on stage and sparks of energy throughout the show, there really can't be a better way to describe it. They put on one hell of a show. You can see Tom's great sincerity towards the audience in his talks between some songs. They really looked like they enjoyed themselves, and of course the audience did as well. Whole band played great, hard, and LOUD.

FUCKIN SLAAAYYYEEERRRR!!!

(Be prepared to hear that often)

Loud heavy fast sweaty long hair and brilliant time!

I've been a fan of slayer since about 1988 and it was great to go to a gig where everyone was not there filming it instead just taking in the brutal power of Slayer!

All the classics were played with a few new songs off the new record "Repentless" you can't argue when a band like Slayer roll into town turn up no encores and smash through 20 brutally fast thrash classics. I left minus a phone in my sweat soaked t-shirt and absolutely loved this gig.
