Slayer is continuing their tradition of playing some shows post-breakup, though these two upcoming ones are straight up monstrous. Slayer has announced two shows for this September celebrating 40 years of their classic 1986 thrash-terpiece Reign In Blood – one in Minnesota, and one in California.
“The fastest, the heaviest, the most uncompromising record in thrash metal history turns 40. SLAYER marks the anniversary with two US headline dates featuring the album performed in full, including their first LA show in seven years,” wrote the band on their social media.
Both shows will feature Slayer playing Reign In Blood in its entirety and both shows will feature their own openers. They are:
9/4 Shakopee, MN Mystic Lake Amphitheater (w/ Down, Suicidal Tendencies & Hatebreed)
9/13 Los Angeles, CA The Kia Forum (w/ Cannibal Corpse, Cavalera performing Sepultura‘s Chaos A.D. & Crowbar)
