Slayer's final concert is tonight. Read the tribute we wrote to the reigning thrash-metal kings earlier this year
, the notes seem to fall off their strings effortlessly like loose meat as the audience screams over the melee, and on“Hell Awaits,” drummer Dave Lombardo’s rhythms swing with a looseness not heard on the original recording. Even “Angel of Death,” a warhorse for the band at the time, has an unhinged quality to it. The sound is electrifying, and it’s a great reminder of why Slayer have become one of metal’s greatest bands.
When Slayer say their final goodbyes, it will be bittersweet. While they are as intense as ever , they’ve undergone many changes in recent years. Guitarist Jeff Hanneman, who wrote many of the group’s most beloved songs, quit touring with the group in 2011 after contracting the flesh-eating disease necrotizing fasciitis and died of alcohol-related liver cirrhosis in 2013. Exodus guitarist Gary Holt stepped in for him when he was sick and later joined full-time.
Now they’ve reached an end. The group hasn’t made any statements or done any interviews explaining why it’s decided this would be the final world tour – or whether that means Slayer are breaking up afterwards or continuing to record or play one-off concerts. A couple of years ago, Arayait was “time to collect [his] pension,” and, over the years, he’s complained that he was bummed he could no longer headbang the way he used to.
