Red Rain Will Fall &ndash\; Slayer To Make Manila Live Debut at KIA Theatre
\n\nTRIBAL and PULP LIVE WORLD are proud to announce that two-time Grammy Award-winning thrash metal legends SLAYER are set to p erform in Manila for the first time on October 11\, 2017 at the KIA THEATRE \, Cubao. Witness heavy metal history as bassist and vocalist Tom Araya\, g uitarist Kerry King\, guitarist Gary Holt\, and drummer Paul Bostaph perfor m their timeless anthems such as &ldquo\;Angel of Death\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;R aining Blood\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;War Ensemble\,&rdquo\; &ldquo\;South of Heav en\,&rdquo\; and many more.
\n\nFormed in 1981 in Huntington Park\, C alifornia\, with the original line-up including guitarist Jeff Hanneman (de ceased) and drummer Dave Lombardo\, the band is widely considered to be one of The Big Four of Thrash Metal along with Megadeth\, Anthrax\, and Metall ica. Their albums Reign in Blood\, South of Heaven\, and Seasons in the Aby ss are cited as seminal albums\, paving the way for more extreme metal subg enres such as death metal and black metal.
\n\nTheir latest full-leng th studio album Repentless was released on September 11\, 2015 via Nuclear Blast Records. It is their first album to feature the newest members in the line-up\, Gary Holt (formerly of Exodus) and Paul Bostaph (formerly of Exo dus and Testament). It is also the band&rsquo\;s first release without Jeff Hanneman. The founding member contracted necrotizing fasciitis from a spid er bite back in early 2011\, and sadly passed away of cirrhosis in May 2\, 2013. As expected\, it was difficult for the band to soldier on without Han neman. Not only was the late guitarist heavily involved in the production o f their albums\, but he was also a huge part of the band&rsquo\;s songwriti ng.
\n\n&ldquo\;When we went into the studio\, I was a little apprehe nsive\,&rdquo\; Araya tells Loudwire. &ldquo\;Slayer is really the culminat ion of the two of them [Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King]. I felt it would be l opsided.&rdquo\;
\n\nAraya shared that even though Hanneman wasn&rsqu o\;t able to record any of the songs on the record physically (he penned th e track &ldquo\;Piano Wire&rdquo\;)\, he was present at rehearsals during t he early stages of the album to listen to the songs and give his thoughts. This gave the band the confidence that Hanneman would&rsquo\;ve been proud of Repentless. Evidently\, fans and critics agree. The album sold over 80\, 000 copies in the US alone and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200\ , their highest position yet in their native country. It also garnered gene rally positive reviews. &ldquo\;Slayer not only has something new to say on Repentless\, but a new way to say it\,&rdquo\; writes J.C. Macek III of Sp ectrum Culture\, while Dom Lawson of The Guardian writes\, &ldquo\;Slayer h ave always been a model of consistency and a band that fans of vicious\, ve in-bursting heavy metal can rely on.&rdquo\;
\n\nJust a few months af ter they experienced Megadeth at this year&rsquo\;s Pulp Summer Slam\, Fili pino metalheads are in for another treat. Get ready for this skull-crushing and blood-soaked thrash metal event that no self-respecting metalhead woul d want to miss. SLAYER IN MANILA is presented by TRIBAL and PULP LIVE WORLD .
