Slayer

Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo revealed two pieces of important information about his main band while promoting his Philm side project. In a recent interview, the skinsman confirmed that Slayer are wrapping up a two-song EP due later this year. He revealed that vocalist/bassist Tom Araya is laying down his vocal tracks alongside guitarist Kerry King. He also shared that Slayer will never stray from the left-hand metal path, either.

Slayer will hit the road and decimate stages on this summer's Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival but they will doing so without guitarist Jeff Hanneman. He will be sitting out the tour to continue to long and arduous recovery process that stemmed from a bout with necrotizing fasciitis on his arm, a flesh-eating condition which was the result of a spider bite.

Slayer's music is certainly meant to be consumed with an accompanying libation. So it's no surprise that the band has launched its very own brand of wine, much like Motorhead and AC/DC before them. The first beverage in the brand is Slayer Reign in Blood Red. The Cabernet Sauvignon from California is available solely in Sweden right now, so it's not like you can cruise on over to the local liquor retailer to nab a bottle for dinner. Yet.
