Hey everyone! Today is one of my favorite day’s of the year! It’s International Day of SLAYER!!!!!!! Every year on June 6th, the World listens to Slayer. I can’t wait to see them LIVE a couple times this summer. I’ll be seeing them at “The Fabulous Forum” in Los Angeles in August and then a local show right here in Paso! So for those of you that are not familiar with Slayer or why they have an entire day dedicated to them, here some fun facts taken from nationaldayofslayer.org It’s also Tom Araya’s birthday! Happy birthday, Tom!
Who is Slayer
Slayer is a band from California. Their music has come to epitomize Satanic speed metal music in the latter half of the 20th century. Their 1986 album Reign in Blood ranks as one of the single most influential metal albums of all time, typified by the modern classic “Angel of Death.”
How to Celebrate
- Listen to Slayer at full blast in your car.
- Listen to Slayer at full blast in your home.
- Listen to Slayer at full blast at your place of employment.
- Listen to Slayer at full blast in any public place you prefer.
DO NOT use headphones! The objective of this day is for everyone within earshot to understand that it is the National Day of Slayer. National holidays in America aren’t just about celebrating; they’re about forcing it upon non-participants.
Taking that participation to a problematic level
- Stage a “Slay-out.” Don’t go to work. Listen to Slayer.
- Have a huge block party that clogs up a street in your neighborhood. Blast Slayer albums all evening. Get police cruisers and helicopters on the scene. Finish with a full-scale riot.
- Spray paint Slayer logos on churches, synagogues, or cemeteries.
- Play Slayer covers with your own band (since 99% of your riffs are stolen from Slayer anyway).
- Kill the neighbor’s dog and blame it on Slayer.
Well there are your fun facts! NOW CRANK U THE SPEAKERS AND PISS OFF THE NEIGHBORS!!!
Enjoy some music from one of the Big 4 \m/ WARNING: NSFW (naughty words and images)
I’ll see you all out there in the pits this summer! Catch Slayer on Tour NOW!
