Trash metal band from the United States, Slayer, has revealed that “The End is Near” and announced plans to tour the world one last time before that day comes.
In a tweet posted on Monday and joined by a quick-cutting video summarizing the band’s career, the band shared the message, “The End is Near… #Slayer to tour the world one more time….,” with a follow-up tweet revealing artwork for the tour as well as the talent that would join the band on its farewell run: Lamb of God, Anthrax, Behemoth and Testament.
