What band has won Grammys while also being the targets of a religious witch-hunt, including having their albums used as fuel at record burnings? No, not Hanson … it’s Slayer! For more than 30 years, these Cali-bred thrash metal pioneers have been rattling molars and gleefully hurling souls into hell with their unrivaled metal burn and refreshingly blasphemous lyrics. To sweeten the molten pot, fellow heavies Lamb of God and Behemoth open.
