Ufficiale: gli Slayer hanno annunciato il loro scioglimento

A poche ore di distanza dall’annuncio dell’ultimo tour mondiale, al via il prossimo maggio, gli Slayer hanno comunicato lo scioglimento definitivo. Si concluderà quindi nel 2018 la fortunata carriera della formazione losangelina, che nei 37 anni di attività ha pubblicato 12 album, vinto due Grammy Awards e sfiorato i 3mila concerti in giro per il pianeta.

Gli Slayer hanno pubblicato nel 2015 l’ultimo album Repentless, recensito su queste pagine da Stefano Gaz. Di seguito il post ufficiale con cui è stata comunicata la notizia.

After making some of the most brutal, breathtakingly aggressive, all-hell’s-a-breaking-loose music ever created, being one of the four bands that defined an entire musical genre and being the band that other heavy acts are measured against and aspire to…after nearly 37 years, releasing 12 studio albums, multiple live recordings, compilations, live video and two box sets, playing nearly 3000 concerts in all corners of the world, receiving countless awards including five Grammy nominations and two Grammy awards, Gold records and other accolades…having its own exhibit in the Smithsonian Institute, gracing hundreds of magazine covers, experiencing the devastating loss of a founding brother, and even appearing on “The Tonight Show,” the age of Slayer, one of the greatest thrash/ metal/punk bands of this or any age, is coming to an end. Slayer will do one last concert tour around the globe to thank their fans for all the support over the years. N.
