Slayer look back at their career in new video documentary

Slayer

Slayer have released the first part of a video documentary showing the band reflecting on their 37-year career.

Slayer announced last month that they would head out on the road one last time, with Kerry King, Tom Araya, Paul Bostaph and Gary Holt lining up 26 dates across North America on what is expected to be the start of a world tour.

And in the new video, King and Araya look back at how the band first came together, while Bostaph and Holt recall where they were when they heard Slayer for the first time.

Slayer will be joined on the North American leg of their tour by Anthrax, Lamb Of God, Behemoth and Testament.
