Slayer to tour with....Trivium?

[The Ozzman]

SLAYER, TRIVIUM, MASTODON and an as-yet-undisclosed opening act will team up for "The Unholy Alliance: Chapter III" European tour in the fall. So far only one date has been revealed: November 10, 2008 at Eishalle Deutweg in Winterthur, Switzerland.

The SLAYER-headlined "Unholy Alliance Chapter II: Preaching To The Perverted" European tour took place in 2006. Other bands that took part in the trek were IN FLAMES, LAMB OF GOD, CHILDREN OF BODOM and THINE EYES BLEED.

SLAYER won a Grammy in the "Best Metal Performance" category in the pre-telecast ceremony at the 50th annual Grammy Awards, which was held on February 10 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. SLAYER was nominated for the track "The Final Six", from the band's 2007 limited-edition "Christ Illusion". The song, written by Araya and guitarist Jeff Hanneman and produced by Josh Abraham, is a chilling look at an hypothesized end of the world. The track made its debut last July as the "Single of the Week" on MySpace where it had accumulated more than 750,000 plays, an astounding number for a song that received no commercial airplay.

They're gonna get booed off the stage.

 

[Ender Rises]

Saw Trivium with Lamb of God a couple years ago, and yeah, odds are they're gonna get the fuck booed out of them. Happened at the concert I went to.

God they suck.

I still do that when I listen to the album. I always laugh when that song comes on. Still a top notch album though

 

[Belligerent]

Trivium and Mastodon both suck. Slayer have brought some really shitty
openers with them over the years.

 

[cookiecutter]

Trivium suck as we know and I'm not a fan of Mastodon, but Slayer put on an awesome show, and there are fewer shitty bands to sit through than in the past.

 

[username345]

Argh no, I've already had to watch Trivium once before when they were supporting Maiden.

I don't think I could stand having to see them again. I'm still trying to repress my memory of the last time.

 

[The Ozzman]

I saw Trivium at a show before Ascendancy came out and they were pretty good live from what I remember.

Correct.

 

[Nightmare_Heaven]

Sick if this came to the UK. Slayer = WIN, be great to see them. Mastodon are decent, not a huge fan but I'd certainly enjoy seeing them live. Trivium sucked when I saw them supporting Maiden and obviously they would suck again, but shouting along their parody song lyrics was good fun.

 

[King Richard]

I don't even really enjoy seeing Slayer anymore to be honest. I've seen them twice, and nothing will top the first time I saw them. They played Reign In Blood from start to finish.

 

[The Ozzman]

That album is 27 minutes. It's not hard to do that at a show.

Its the European tour of Unholy Alliance

 

[Alteredmindeath]

ha ha you poor european bastards have to suffer with Trivium, an all out brawl between Slayer and Trivium fans will start resulting in Raids.

 

[Black Friday]

Yeah, you might even be able to fit an entire 'nother album on the setlist.

 

[Zephyrus]

I would go to this. If I can sit through Mastodon, CoB and LoG I think I can endure this.
