Slayer – Lamb Of God – Anthrax – Behemoth – Testament: Live at Mohegan Sun Arena


Go and see your heroes at least once before they are gone. I say this once a week to friends of mine. I hear all the time that “I can’t believe I missed so and so and now they are done”. For some of us, that list is long. Luckily, I have seen almost everyone on my bucket list, minus a few glaring omissions (AC/DC with Bon Scott, Queen). I’ve seen Slayer in all their iterations. Every lineup and era since 1991, which was my very first time. All of them ruled. However, when they announced their start of this farewell tour, it wasn’t a question to me if I was going or not? It was a question of how many times will I get to go? How many times will they come around? That number is up in the air as of this writing, but I am tickled that I got to go to see them at Mohegan Sun Arena in Montville, Connecticut. Thanks to my brother for life Dan Christian for hooking me up with a ticket and the great hangs. I saw a bunch of my metal brothers and sisters at the show and everyone was damn happy to be there, even if it also felt like a New Orleans funeral march at times with grave, sweaty faces.

Slayer – Sadist: Live At Alcatraz, Milan


Slayer, by Lisa Schuchmann

Reactivated Italian thrashers Sadist opened the show. Hailing from Genoa, a neighboring Italian city, they received a warm welcome from the crowd. Vocalist Trevor’s cackling black metal vocals reeled in their local fans. Unlike most bands that open for Slayer, they didn’t get booed off the stage.Continue reading
