Between losing rock icons and seeing legendary bands retiring, it could feel like the end of days is upon us. It was only a few weeks ago that we heard about Slayer rumored to tour with Anthrax, Testament, Lamb of God and Behemoth, which could be the biggest trek of their year. However, according to a video the band put up today, it could be part of Slayer’s farewell tour. The group shared a teaser clip stating that they are making their exit by embarking on a final journey around the globe. There are no dates yet, but if it’s anything like Black Sabbaths’ tour, it will probably happen for quite a while, hopefully giving everyone worldwide a chance or two to see the legendary band before they call it quits, or at least quit touring.
“The End is Near…Slayer to tour the world one more time…”
