Slayer Launches “Slaytanic Verses” Museum

Since the band is no longer active, Slayer has turned its focus toward preserving its place in history as arguably the most powerful and interesting metal band of all time. To that end, the band has launched the “Slaytanic Verses: Live Assaults 1981 Through Today” website.

Like the Internet Archive which is currently down due to DDOS attacks, this Slayer archive preserves the past against the ravages of the present, namely the tendency of people to throw things out or have relationships fail, storage unit bills go unpaid, or suffer floods like the unlucky few getting hammered by Hurricane Milton right now.

Expect photos, flyers, and a history told through footnotes about the locations and events that launched Slayer and made the band a household name for the non plus ultra of 1980s metal. It is basically a master class in the history of Slayer, speed metal, and heavy metal as a culture.

    As a secret vampire from Transylvania, which none shall know my know name in the pantheon, I state that Reign in blood together with Transilvanian Hunger and Nightside Eclipse, is amongst the must-haves…

    I’m glad this site – really the only sane metal/metal-related one around – made a topic about this.

    I stumbled upon this project earlier in the week and it quickly brightened an otherwise shitty day. You’ve done it again Slayer, you magnificent bastards!

    I really like how sharp and succinct the presentation is. It totally fits the band. The content (or “artifacts”) coming from in-house collections is also a nice touch, especially because they could have easily overdone it with way too many examples coming from all over the place.

    Very cool that they had the presence of mind to launch something like this.

    1. Indeed. Other than the web interface, it reminds me of those old directory archives… you click on a subdirectory, and it’s full of stuff on that topic.

        Great title they have chosen: Slaytanic Verses” – hope our Muslim, eh…, friends won’t make them lose an eye and an arm for it

        1. One Wonders says:

          Slayer might unite all three weeds from the same root in hating Slayer, and that could be really something, you know what I mean bro.

          1. Clement says:

            ‘One wonders- if I understand you correctly you are saying three root reasons for Slayer’s (former/diseased /present) bandmembers to hate themselves for

            1) not having musically evolved

            2) not having been allowed/successfully tried to musically evolve due to a) the pressure to live up to fan and b) marketing expectations

            and/or

            3) for having no idea as to how to come up with anything new or hitherto unsaid/remotely relevant?

            1. Genius says:

              I think he refers to Jews, Christians and Muslims.

              1. Dicedman says:

                Haha, that means most of us! What about “the Chinese” – do they actually ‘do’ or show any appreciation of (death) metal?

  3. A half hapa shall be mine baby and rap rock should be holocaust killed off says:

    1. Frank says:

      Sure dude

      1. Diversity is the Rotham Grooming Scandal in Infinite Refraction says:

        Being mixed-caste, mixed-race, or from a foreign background is a burden on any child. This is why I avoid Negro, Hispanic, Italian, and Asian hotties.

    2. Christ was mixed-race like Chuck Schuldiner (who died of fucking AIDS) says:

      A wise man once said like ten minutes ago: “Metal is dead, an endless stream of imitations of high quality and low content.” Metal is now mixed-race, half-rock/pop/blues/jazz and half music.

      1. Clement says:

        That’s all true. But as long there is the odd and spirited and fucked-up-enough (tastefully executed!!) final-reckoning nihilistic SLAYER-ESQUE RIFF that explains the world and puts things right, these progressive modernists shall be forgiven right?! (Take Orgone’s Pleroma). Yeah, entropie seems our destiny …but it’s worth trying to engage with it in non-boring open-minded ways

    3. curio says:

      Excuse my bottom bitch, everyone. He gets mouthy after I permit him to leave his kiddie pool for those two hours a day when he’s not enduring his sexual slavery and loving golden showers.

    4. ## Reactionary Metal ## says:

      Sad dude..

    5. Clement says:

      Harhar. down-tuned grammar, orthography, assumed low-life persona, and dodgy family-planning oversharing – that’s almost like (c)rap itself

  4. Colonel Colon says:

    Slayer’s dead after the 80’s, who cares after that…

  5. GET A LIFE says:

    Look at us fucking dorks, still foaming over decades dead has-beens. I seriously think we need to get a life.

  6. The Indian Woman Will Win.. says:

    Why is it that Angelcorpse ( yawnfest ) is featured on the DLA, and ARCHGOAT is not. They ‘re totally derivative, but they are damnedly excellent..

    1. Nigel the Niggardly Negro says:

      Archgoat are slowly becoming an interesting band, it’s taken them a long time but with more recent releases like ‘The Luciferian Crown’ they have managed to incorporate variation and atmosphere into their compositions in a way that is missed upon the earlier releases.

  8. BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU says:

  9. Anal Chocolate says:

    Blood Libels and Condemnation by Antaeus were good albums despite the shit-talking, the band is still underrated.

    1. Site Homosexuality Fact Checker says:

      This site is certified “100% Gay” by official fact-checkers.

      1. ## Reactionary Metal ## says:

        Ape Do Not Discriminate!

        1. Site Misinformation and Disinformation Watchdog says:

          We have detected occasional pro-heterosexuality propaganda on this site but it is guaranteed to be 100% gay. We are not sure it is fake, but it is certainly retarded. It is also obviously not funded by Russia since they banned it, but has anyone looked for funding from China or Belgium?
