International Day of Slayer
News:
- International Day of Slayer 2012 is here! To celebrate this year's madness, appreciate this classic Slayer interview from 1985. Before the internet took over, before Slayer were huge, and when extreme metal was barely even started, Slayer were the maniacs we've come to know and love. Check it out, and don't forget to celebrate the day with lots of loud Slayer.
- According to Metal Hammer, Slayer may release a new album this summer. An encouraging sign is that they plan to have the album written, practiced and ready by the time they enter the studio. "I don't think we'll spend long in the studio this time either. We're gonna do it old school style and get things done fast," said Tom Araya.
On June 6th, Hessians worldwide come together to do something upon which we can all agree - listening to Slayer! Finally, one of the most dismissed cultural groups in the world has a holiday to call its own. Join us in our cause to stand unified in our celebration of metal music and let us prove to the rest of society that we too have a voice.
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.
