Talkin' Slayer, MEGA Episode 29: Bostaph's Back, Slayer's Experimental Moment, Music From Slower, Album Art, AND Slayer vs. Minor Threat's Ian MacKaye. ALL!

Today's topic — today's five topics — are 1. Paul Bostaph's quick return to the band, and 2. Slayer's collaboration with German digital hardcore/techno band Atari Teenage Riot. Then because those are short, you get a little taste of two episodes that are exclusives for Patreon supporters: 3. Learn about some early album artwork. 4. And learn what Slayer and Minor Threat dudes had to say about each other. 5. THEN a long, sludgy, sexxy, siren-call co-ed cover of "War Ensemble" by all-star stone squad SLOWER. SHOW NOTES: DEEZ NOTEZ: NEWS: Kerry's New Band to Debut Live Thursday May 9, at Daytona Beach Festival. I'm pretty sure the band isn't called Kerry King; stay tuned, though. Blabbermouth has some deets. https://blabbermouth.net/news/motley-crue-slipknot-judas-priest-and-kerry-king-among-confirmed-acts-for-welcome-to-rockville-2024?fbclid=IwAR1sQ4sMLa7JxtJ5GLURCI8l7icQsTD133Yez7jihjOB1SOCNcz7wfqq6yI Slayer Live in Santa Cruz, 1995: Slayer playing “Sex.
