Il pittoresco Kerry King è stato scelto come protagonista in uno spot pubblicitario americano per l'amaro Jägermeister. Pochi si sarebbero immaginati che il chitarrista degli Slayer , personaggio molto poco "mainstream" e non certo avvezzo a questo genere di ribalte, sarebbe comparso in un filmato del genere. Gli Slayer saranno headliner del Mayhem Festival 2012, tour americano dedicato esclusivamente alla musica metal che vedrà anche l'esibizione degli Slipknot. Slayer: Kerry King in uno spot dell'amaro Jagermeister (!!!) � stato pubblicato su Soundsblog.it alle 02:01 [...]

It shouldn't be a shocker to anyone that Slayer loves booze. It also shouldn’t be a surprise that their favorite libation of them all is Jägermeister. The band has already co-headlined the Jägermeister tour and most likely have boosted Jägermeister sales tenfold just on their own personal consumption alone.  What we didn’t expect to see ...

Have a gander at this lulz/cringe-inducing press copy drummed up by some hapless intern at Mistress - the advertising agency for Jägermeister - for their new "Stronger Bond" marketing campaign: Jägermeister is a strong drink for strong men, with strong bonds. Seven men at the top of their respective crafts were handpicked and brought together to form the [...]

A recent tweet from Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo implies that for their 12th album, the metal titans will re-team with Death Magnetic producer Greg Fidelmann. This might be bummer news for those not blown away by 20092s World Painted Blood, an ace Slayer songwriting effort marred by a flat, bubbly sound. It's a double-bummer when [...]

The Metal Masters III clinic was last night and it was a historic evening. After a little bit of instructional clinic advice, everybody let loose and did some jamming. The Metal Masters, Chris Broderick and Dave Ellefson of Megadeth, Kerry King and Dave Lombardo of Slayer, Charlie Benante and Frankie Bello of Anthrax and Mike ...

This past September, Vince and I attended the Metal Masters Clinic here in New York, the highlight of which was Phil Anselmo fronting an all-star rendition of Pantera's "Fucking Hostile" that included Slayer's Kerry King, Adrenaline Mob's Mike Portnoy, and Scott Ian, Frankie Bello, and Charlie Benante from Anthrax. Well, yesterday there was another Metal Masters [...]

Oy yoy yoy! And you thought the Zakk Wylde children's book was ridiculous. Last week, I complained that Slayer have gone overboard with merch. But I guess my cries fell on deaf ears, because the legendary thrash outfit, and their peers in The Big Four (that would be Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax - duhskis!) have just [...]

As far as we're aware, March 10 (that's the day we're publishing this, for anyone who's late to this particular party) isn't a particularly important date in the calendar for any of the four members of Slayer . It isn't any of their birthdays. It isn't the anniversary of the release of any of their records. As far as we're aware, it isn't the date of their wedding anniversaries, or their children's birthdays, or the anniversary of the first time Kerry King realised that it's better to shave your head entirely once you start going bald, rather than suffer [...]

In a recent interview with Metal Hammer, Slayer guitarist/co-founder Kerry King stated that the band's new album, their first since 2009's, "World Painted Blood" could be released as early as this Summer "Currently we?re taking a break, but I am very excited by the way it?s all turning out so far,? King says. ?I?ve worked up three songs with Dav... Read More/Discuss on Metal Underground.com

It's always fun to see what sort of items bands request on their tour riders, and Slayer clearly have fun with this as well. Their rider from Fun Fun Fun Fest, which happened a few weeks back, has surfaced. While there are some obvious jokes (Totes brand blood-proof umbrellas, 100 snow white goats for slaughter ...

At this past weekend's FunFunFunFest in Austin, Texas, a heavy metal behemoth slayed all comers as far as garnering the positive headlines. No, I'm not talking about thrash legends Slayer, who closed out the fest with a brilliant set (review forthcoming) that made their Big 4 NY appearance look tame by comparison. I'm definitely not [...]

Oh Danzig. As much as we love you, we also know that you're a massive berk. This past weekend, Danzig was due to perform at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, Texas, and had promised a set full of Misfits classics. Instead, it was an unmitigated disaster, with the band going on over an [...]

The highlight of last week's Big Four show at Yankee Stadium was Slayer, and with all due respect to Kerry King, Tom Araya, Jeff Hanneman, and, in this instance, guest guitarist Gary Holt, the highlight of any Slayer show is Dave Lombardo. Never mind that, at the age of 46, he hasn't slowed down a [...]

To help promote their upcoming tour, on October 11 Judas Priest will release The Chosen Few, their umpteenth career retrospective, and one which does not feature any new material. The Chosen Few does have a hook, though - I mean, beyond the fact that the band members appear on the cover only as silhouettes, I [...]

If you're not a musician, last night's Metal Masters Clinic 2 - held prior to Anthrax's so-secret-everyone-knew-about- it show at the Best Buy Theater in NYC - was probably a massive bore. But to everyone else it was a wet dream come true; Mike Portnoy having a drum-off with Charlie Benante, Ellefson talking about famous Megadeth [...]

Earlier this evening Anthrax held a release party for their new album, Worship Music, which is in stores. A few hours before the official show was to happen, they held a special Metal Masters clinic. During the clinic, Frankie Bello, Charlie Benante, David Ellefson and Mike Portnoy all played some music, gave some advice and ...

News SLAYER guitarist Kerry King has explained his absence from the latest "Big Four" jam, which took place during METALLICA's set on Sunday, July 3 at Ullevi stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden.

SHAME ON ME! I almost forgot that today is June 6, a.k.a. "The Internatinal Day of Slayer," until our friend Zena Metal reminded me (and by "me," I mean "anyone who reads her website"). In any case, if you're looking for a good to excuse to drink Jäger until you puke and/or get right up in [...]

Some facts of life are eternal and unchangeable - night follows day, internet messageboards will always be full of idiots talking nonsense about subjects they claim to be experts in, and June 06 will always be The International Day of Slayer. And since it's been a rough year for the godfathers of evil thrash - [...]
