Each year, June 6th is officially known as the “International Day of Slayer,” and 2018’s celebration includes the release of the band’s Repentless collectors’ vinyl box set. The limited edition release will be available in black, red, or gold-colored wax and only 2,500 copies of each hue will be released worldwide. Each box set features six single vinyl EPs, each one measuring a unique 6.66” in diameter and each disc offers two songs from the 2015 Repentless album. The red and black vinyl versions will sell for $66.66 while the gold discs will go for $73.99 retail; the box set is available to order from the Nuclear Blast label website.
In January, Slayer announced that it would do one more final world tour to say goodbye and thank the band’s rabid fans for three decades of support. Lamb of God, Anthrax, Behemoth, and Testament will open for Slayer on the first leg of the band’s farewell tour, with Lamb of God, Anthrax, Testament, and Napalm Death taking on the second leg of the tour.
