Slayer Release First Episode of Retrospective Video Series

Slayer are celebrating their impending retirement with a new video series chronicling their thirty-seven-year-long history. The debut episode is called “Early Days,” and serves as a terrific reminder as to why Slayer isn’t actually Slayer anymore. Still, I can think of worse ways to spend six minutes than listening to these guys talk about the beginnings of Slayer (and thrash in general).

Watch the video below. If you’re excited for Slayer’s upcoming farewell tour despite the absence of Dave Lombardo and Jeff Hanneman, we’re giving away tickets here. The tour will also include Lamb of God, Anthrax, Behemoth, and Testament, which is a kick-ass line-up unto itself.
