(Inter)National Day of Slayer!

[gick]

This has been going round as a myspace bulletin. Sounds like a good idea to me!

National Day of Slayer

6.6.06 isn't a date that comes around very often (once per century, to be exact), and while plenty of stupid horror movies and terrible albums will be released for the hype value of the day that bears "the number of the beast", we here at NDoS decided that this would be a perfect day for Hessians across the country to come together and engage in something upon which we can all agree - listening to Slayer! Also, do you really want those evangelical Neo-Cons to have all the fun with their "National Day of Prayer"?

Slayer is a band from California. Their music has come to epitomize Satanic speed metal music in the latter half of the 20th Century. Their 1986 album, "Reign in Blood" is one of the single most influential metal albums of all time, typified by the modern classic "Angel of Death".

Official Statement on Participation

Listen to Slayer at full blast in your car.
Listen to Slayer at full blast in your home.
Listen to Slayer at full blast at your place of employment.
Listen to Slayer at full blast in any public place you prefer.
DO NOT use headphones! The objective of this day is for everyone within earshot to understand that it is the National Day of Slayer. National holidays in America aren't just about celebrating; they're about forcing it upon non-participants.

Taking that participation to a problematic level:

Stage a "Slay-out." Don't go to work. Listen to Slayer.
Have a huge block party that clogs up a street in your neighborhood. Blast Slayer albums all evening. Get police cruisers and helicopters on the scene. Finish with a full-scale riot.
Spray paint Slayer logos on churches, synagogues, or cemeteries.
Play Slayer covers with your own band (since 99% of your riffs are stolen from Slayer anyway).
Kill your neighbour's dog and blame it on Slayer.

Aw man! I thought there would new album info! Crap. I can't to see what Lombardo's return will do for the band in the studio. I can only hope for faster material!!!

Far more importantly, Behemoth's new album 'Demonica' is released on 06/06/06

New Sikth album too.

Geh, reading into it more, it seems that it's something of an enigma. No-one can quite tell whether it's just a best-of CD, or contains new material. Still, anything more from those crazy poles is good enough.

I may have exams around then. I'd like to be awake and alert for it, prefrebly.

Still, Testament are playing Ireland that day. Hoping for some other dates but its tempting to go over.

Slayer are all right (their best stuff is anyhow), but they turned into ignorant grandads a while back. Only a real gang of spastics would reject Proscriptor for the drum spot when Bostaph left.

I also remember Kerry King saying in an interview that he thought Corey 'Slipknot' Whatsisname was the best vocalist in metal (sic).

So yeah, good beer-and-tits metal maybe, but pretty damn clueless for the last few years.
