Slayer Kicks Off Tour In Support Of Christ Illusion
Band Photo: Slayer (?)
The mighty SLAYER, whose new album, "Christ Illusion", debuted at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard charts last week, will kick off its 2006 international concert tour playing two of England's biggest annual music festivals — Leeds on Friday, August 25 and Reading on Sunday, August 27. In addition to the U.K. appearances, the international dates will have SLAYER headlining major outdoor festivals as well as their own concerts in South America, Mexico, Singapore, and Japan. The South American dates will mark SLAYER's first tour there in more than eight years.
Leg Two of SLAYER's international concert tour will kick off October 20 in Holland when SLAYER tops the bill on the European edition of the "Unholy Alliance Tour: Preaching to the Perverted". The core lineup of the European "Unholy Alliance Tour" will be SLAYER, IN FLAMES, CHILDREN OF BODOM, LAMB OF GOD, and THINE EYES BLEED, and is the first major festival to tour outside of the United States. The U.S. "Unholy Alliance Tour" (which SLAYER headlined with LAMB OF GOD, CHILDREN OF BODOM, MASTODON and THINE EYES BLEED) stormed across North America in June and July.
According to SLAYER's longtime manager Rick Sales, "We wanted to make 'The Unholy Alliance Tour' an annual, global event, and are all very excited that we're making that happen. Like the U.S. tour, we're offering a unique, heavy, and diversified lineup, as well as a great production. Fans are going to get their money's worth."

whatever........
mastodon and in flames owns SLAYER=S-HIT, for long have i realized that S-HIT has been destroyin tha upcoming second golden age of metal, simply cuz of their pathetic sh**ten existence......
but then again...............
on august 8, 2006(da 9/11 of the metal world since dimebag death) SLAYER=S-HIT released their latest that put an end to what greatness heavy metal may have in store for us metalheads(ppl dat doesn't listen to slayer, i mean s-hit)...........
so since the beginnin of time when metal came out it when alive until that day where metal worst album ever came out and simply killed metal.....cuz of the lack of energy and complexity that is christ illusion just like all of their album(turds).
however, i believe that w/ da upcoming release of CRADLE OF FILTH new album........
metal will once again be on it feet, for i believe that it a genre that all metalheads(ppl who don't listen to slayer, i mean s-hit) will be proud, because of the existence of megadeth, judas preist, black sabbeth, ozzy, black label society, and da likes.......
their presence has grace heavy metal yeah (sigh) such great bands.............
unlike SLAYER=S-HIT............FOR THEY MUST BE DESTROYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well here i'm w/ anti-slayer and agree with his great mind........for i believe dat ppl who don't like this sh**ten band known as S-HIT is smart and intellectual that grace this world(excpet for those ghetto homo wankstas wanna be's which whom i'll destroy if i had the chance)
the two posts above me, crushem and blakscorpion are example that da stupidty of SLAYER=S-HIT fans is infinte, and dat why they must be destroyed..........
believe i'm not gonna stop bashing these f***s ever, for i believe they love da c***s just like ax7 FAGGETS.

anti-slayer and i we both agree dat this sh**ten homo band sucks. we were just talkin in class to come up with ways to spam up a site called SLAYERIZED.COM!!!!!!!
a site deticated to SLAYER=S-HIT......
but since we know that red devil is da greatest spammer of all times(as far as i know) then we decided dat red devil will spam up the site just like he does here, in slayerized forums........
i wonder where he send those hate mails against SLAYER=S-HIT anyways......i'll tell you guys so you can go read and get p***ed off, becuase dat our jobs........
making life impossible fer SLAYER=S-HIT fans......and we will continue to dat......until at least half of their retarted fanbase diminish.......like "s-hit"
but don't get me wrong we have alot of things here at stake like bashing those gangsta peeps in some hip hop forums and spamming up other insignificant sites..........
so the da time for SLAYER=S-HIT has not come, but will someday.......
i have started a group(have not thought about a name yet), and obviously anti-slayer and i are gonna be f***in up every thing we hate w/ spam, not like red devil, but w/ revelant points of extreme sources of controversies like a bunch of trolls.......of course a league of trolls and i'll of course due to my experiences in such sites like ultimate metal, and for a brief time balbbermouth.net, it will be a success........
wHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA.........f*** SLAYER=S-HIT.....THEY MUST DIEEE!!!

Hopefully we see Slayer in Canada again next year cause I wasn't able to attend the unholy alliance.
Coco - (bad a$$ name by the way) Do you actually believe you are gonna change anyone's mind about Slayer with a pointless argument and bad grammar?....Why would anyone except non-slayer fans wanna see your site?...except for a good laugh maybe. I pity you because you actually have nothing better to do than start an anti-slayer crusade. Get a life.
AND WHAT THE HELL DOES AUGUST 8TH HAVE TO DO WITH DIMEBAG?
I think you got confused there....he was born on August 20 and murdered on Dec 8.
32. writes:
You know coco, i think i should just change my name to another one and use ANTI-SLAYER as the name of our faction against slayer. It about time these sh**heads d*** suckers DIE. and of course their idiotic fanbase. So let get this straight first of all august 8 was the date when s-hity released their latest album christ illusion. The album that begin a reign of sh** for heavy metal. One reason why decided to attack s-hity it becasue of the way you....my fellow metalheads adore this crappy a$$ band of....sh**. just like the vocals. sh**. sh**. sh**ty sh** sh**. FUKK S-HITTY.
34. writes:
Exactly they suck ass, it does not mean anything. Because S-hitty has been making sh** for the past 25 years. And by the way, blakscorpion if i had the chance i'll kick your buttholio you sh**fan of turd. And by the way, i gotta b**** w/ p***y unlike you who never got laid....wait.....you don't like p***y. Your sperm will one day be inside an arse not vagina cuz there is none.....or maybe.....you're the one who's gonna get semen up his ass. and you'll gladly take it like the queer slayerfan that you're. Where's Coco......it getting crowded w/ slayer idiots in here.

haha, im the one not getting any?. your the little punk trying to act like a bad a$$ over a message board, and while you are busy thinking of comebacks to post up i am getting laid. youre just a little punk kid with no life or taste in music. so just wait for coco to come back so he can give you some more anal pleasure.

Slayer. That's all that needs to be said. Freakin Slayer. What a great band. I know that young people think that Slayer is crap, but you gotta give respect where respect is due and Slayer demand it. A great band that loves to push peoples butons and piss the "other" side off. I love it. I like the new album. Not what I expected, but it's very good in my opinion. Good to hear some thrash guitar work again. Some speed. Some speed you can understand and appreciate. lol.
