We finally got to see Slayer at Rocklahoma! They've been one of the most requested bands for the festival for a very, very long time. For as long as I've been coming to Rocklahoma the talk has always been "How awesome would it be to have Slayer here?" Well we got our wish!

It's been awhile since I've last seen the band and the very first time without Jeff Hanneman. I wondered how the band would sound, not only without Hanneman but drummer Dave Lombardo as well. I can say Gary Holt did an amazing job slinging axe and trading licks with Kerry King and Paul Bostaph, who I've seen behind the drum kit before with Slayer didn't disappoint either. Without insult, they sounded every bit as good and pounded the crowd here at Rocklahoma with favorite after favorite. They even fit in some new tunes as well.

We're expecting a new album from Slayer this August. Still wating on a confirmed title and release date, but according to Kerry King it's on the way. If you missed them at this year's festival Slayer will be a part of this year's Mayhem Fest with the one and only King Diamond. No date yet for OKC put it will be coming to Dallas, TX. on (08-02-15) at the Gexa Energy Pavilion.
