Slayer to headline Louder Than Life 2025 after this year’s weather cancellation
With Hurricane Helene disrupting Slayer’s planned appearance at 2024’s Louder Than Life, the thrash legends have revealed they’ll be back to play next year…
Ahead of its November release, Slayer's Tom Araya and Kerry King have been interviewed about their new The Repentless Killogy movie.
With Slayer: The Repentless Killogy all set for a one-night-only release on November 6, the band's own Tom Araya and Kerry King have been interviewed about the story behind the movie.
The film will come ahead of the thrash legends' final-ever gig at the Forum in Los Angeles on November 30, Slayer will be premiering their two-part Repentless Killogy in cinemas, with the release compromised of the band's three latest music videos (You Against You, Repentless, Pride In Prejudice) and a rather grisly story involving gangs and bloodshed, plus their entire live show at the Los Angeles Forum on August 5, 2017.
"When we first did it, I thought we were just doing the Repentless music video; I didn't know we had a plan for three videos," says Kerry King regarding the overall concept. "This trilogy is unique, and I think it's unique to Slayer which makes it even cooler."
Speaking about the movie, Nuclear Blast’s Gerardo Martinez says, “Everything from matching Slayer’s ferocity and heaviness in video form, to expanding into a longer narrative and live show has created the perfect Slayer atmosphere. We are beyond thrilled to give fans around the world the opportunity to join us on November 6 to witness a pure slab of fuckin’ insanity!”
