Acerca de esta escucha

 Talkin' Slayer tells the story of Slayer, the thrashiest of the Big Four thrash metal bands. After some introduction episodes, this weekly show recaps the history of the Los Angeles heavy metal institution, in chronological order: how the band happened, when things fell apart, how they put them back together, and what it all meant—no, MEANS. After Episode 9, Patreon supporters receive every weekly episode. Talkin' Slayer is written, deeply researched, lightly edited, and mostly rehearsed, with some production value. Episodes start after :60-:90 of intro; no need to skip the first 20 minutes.D.X. Ferris Música

  • Bonus Episode: The International Day of Slayer Origin Story, Plus the Most Infamous Show

    Bonus Episode: The International Day of Slayer Origin Story, Plus the Most Infamous Show
    Jun 6 2025

    Talkin' Slayer, Episode 78.5.

    JUNE 6 IS THE INTERNATIONAL DAY SLAYER.

    And it's Tom Araya's birthday. Happy birthday, Tom! Tom, of course, has the most metal birthdate: 6/6/61.

    To commemorate, enjoy these rerun chapters about...

    1) The origins of this most momentous holiday. And...

    2) Slayer's most infamous show. Manic fans tore up part of the Madison Square Garden complex, then known as the Felt Forum. They couldn't play the city's biggest venue for years afterward.

    As an emerging major-label band, Slayer invoked a true mania. What was Slayer capable of at the height of their powers? Get a taste of what separated the group from the rest of the pack.

    An angry Tom Araya onstage is a thing of wonder. The new version of the book has an index entry devoted to it.

    This episode includes some preliminary content about Rubinology, the study of Rick Rubin & his work.

    VIDEO: Slayer, live in NYC, at the Felt Forum, 1988.

    The world's most dangerous band was in the great city in the world, and they weren't playing for Letterman.

    Come back Monday for a long, updated episode about Christ Illusion, the classic lineup's reunion album.

    GRATITUDE.

I'm a huge Slayer fan and have been for 37 years. I've read all the D.X. Ferris books on the band and absolutely loved it all. The podcast is the same stuff but with the passion you would expect. I always look forward to weekly episodes and I'm a subscriber so I don't miss anything. keep up the great work.

You wanted the best...this is the best.
