Slayer are officially no more...

[Daniel Sobota]

We are now living in a post-Slayer world. Take your time while listening to South of Heaven to fully comprehend that, I know I will...

 

[Jak Angelescu]

Did they break up?

 

[John Robinson]

Did they break up?

i think more or less retired

 

[Dominik Gräber]

I think I read something that they don't really Break Up after retirement. Who knows, maybe they will even make some new music in the future

Their manager said that they will be still "active", but that means like releasing new merch and stuff. Definitely no touring or new music.

I also heard a little something about Kerry King's new project that's coming later in 2020.

They played their last-ever show in LA tonight. Hopefully Syn or some of the other guys from Avenged went.

Yeah but still they are artists.
And do you think that someone who loves what he does will stop doing what he loves?

I saw that Kirk Hammett went!

 

[Rute Rodrigues]

They did the last show in Portugal in July and I didn't go because I was in holidays with my family that day

I'm really sad, this world won't be the same without them

That's why they'll have other projects, as I said, Kerry is already making one.

 

[Ed Seith]

Sayer - SLAIN.

 

[Edward John]

Is it really Slayer without Dave Lombardo?

 

[Ezequiel Romanko]

Yeah but still they are artists.
And do you think that someone who loves what he does will stop doing what he loves?

yeah but maybe the got tired as they grow older, physically its really hard to be on tour 24/7 and mentally too, maybe they want to be with their families or just do something else instead of music, they are persons just like us, so its comprehensible that they wanted to stop.

You're right. That's why I had more studio music in mind than touring. You know, never say never.

For me Hanneman is more important than Lombardo. He was the one that came up with all the riffs.

So in that sense, you could say they've been dead since 2013 lol.

 

[Donovan Etue]

Sad to see these guys retire but at least they are going out on top. Caught them here a week ago and they didn't miss a beat! I seem to remember an interview from a year or two ago with Tom talking about how much of his own children's milestones he missed due to being in the studio or on the road and how upset that made him feel all of these years later. Now with a granddaughter that's still very young he is stepping back and aiming to see those milestones he missed with his own children. Pretty solid reason to me to step back for a while anyway.

Agreed.
