SLAYER GUITARIST Jeff Hanneman has passed away. Eternity gains a new shredder.

Jeff Hanneman.

One of the minds behind songs that had my dong fiercely swinging in tandem with my banging of head throughout my teenage years has passed away. Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman has died due to liver failure, assuredly giving the Devil a rather nasty friend to shred along with. (That’s supposed to be a positive comment, don’t get your knickers in a twist.)

OCTOBERFEAST – Reign in Blood

[OCTOBERFEAST is the greatest celebration of the year, a revelry dedicated to pop-culture’s most nutritious Halloween detritus. Plastic screams and artificial sweeteners have never been more bountiful. In the old country, villagers refer to the extended party as Satan’s Snacktime]

The OCTOBERFEAST rages on, undaunted by those protesters standing outside of the gates. With their self-assured smirks, those do-gooders standby with band-aids and pamphlets about PTSD   and bottles of the always-refreshing Gatorade. Who the hell do they think they are? Don’t they realize that the proselytes of popular-horror can’t be dissuaded? And even if conversion were possible at some point, it certainly wouldn’t be on this date.

For October 7th is an especially important day in the OCTOBERFEAST cycle. After all, it was twenty-five years ago today that a portal to Hell was activated, granting a diabolical musical-daemon safe passage to Earth. Although this malignant spirit only appears in thirty-five minute bursts, the terror he instills last a lifetime. If you ever crossed paths with this October-beast, you’ll never forget the experience.

Today, OCTOBERFEAST proudly serves as Earthrealm-host to Slayer’s Reign in Blood.

The Big Four Are Evil

Big Four

As much as I want to hate this, I can’t help but smile. Maybe my inner-cynic is finally moving somewhere else (don’t hold your breath).

Members of the Big Four (Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer) played Am I Evil last night, providing a moment that metal fans never thought possible.
