Angel Of Death performed live by Slayer at Riot Fest, 9/22/24

[@annihilisthtx2297]

His shriek hasn't sounded like that since the 80s. Goddamn.

Wacken 2014

[@tnman37040]

That's what resting your voice can do. Glad he sounds great here.

[@The_JustJoshing]

The one from the Repentless Killogy video is really good

[@darrellpasion8925]

A 5 year break Slayer sounds more awesome , love it. Damn Tom scream sounds is exactly like the album.

[@MikeSoutham]

100% - Towards the end before they stopped, he was more or less just talking through the songs and not singing... This gig he was awesome!

[@creepycrawler123]

They are now under the same team behind the Pantera celebration, and whilst Phil is singing everything live they are blending some of his studio vocals into the live mix, same with Charlie, they blend some of vinnies actual drumming into his mix to make it truly sound like Pantera. Same is being done here, Tom is absolutely singing live, but he did not do all that scream at the start, it’s actually from the album and blended in to his live vocals.

[@Jose_Munguia]

​@@creepycrawler123 Come on, Charlie is playing live. He is very clearly not even playing to a click, so there's no way on earth they would be blending in Vinnie's tracks. They actually are blending his drum mics with drum samples from Vinnie, but that's a completely different thing. I also highly doubt Tom is lip-synching.

[@michaelmaclane8877]

It does, lol. I'm not sure what happened to your hearing, but I hope you get it back soon.

[@thrash2groove]

Tom fucking Araya

[@jahlawl666]

My goodness he sounded good!

[@HammerHeart3229]

Fuck yeah, man! Tom sounds like he never went away! That intro scream sounded almost identical to the album! 🤘

[@lookwaticando909]

SLAYER!!!

[@CharlesLewis-rp5yl]

This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen

[@SirBrosif286]

This was soooo SICK live. The best part was leaving the fest with everyone screaming “SLAYYYEER!!!”

[@MarkLac]

I pray they go on an official tour next year.

[@aliensallaroundus1126]

I've been seeing bands for 40 something years and these guys have been the best show so far over 500 concerts

[@vicuecate]

Its like he never left - Tom sounds awesome -- pure Slayer at its best -- just the way we like it -- thank you Tom --- Slayerrrrrrrrrrrrr..

[@black.diablo.m2]

As a Kiwi (New Zealander), I of course did not get to attend this concert. Slayer will always be my favourite band. Period. On the presumption Tom was singing here without the assistance of any backing track - for example, his opening scream was genuinely live - then he sounds incredible. He still has it. The 5 year break has served him well. I would dearly love to see Slayer live again. I can only hope any enjoyment and energy Tom might have derived from this performance, encourages more shows for a few more years yet (please)!

[@benlye2538]

Here's hoping they come back and play the Christchurch show that got cancelled! Still have my unused ticket 😢

[@THEBANDIT7979]

Tom looks good. Rested Being in slayer and doing 100+ shows a year wears you down.

[@CallahanGuitars]

I was pretty much there to see nofx play the decline, but I caught the first 2 and last 2 songs of slayer. So glad I did, the production value was absurdly high.

[@BrettsJackson]

Sounding awesome. Gary is just an absolute legend and I don't think anyone else could have filled in for Jeff. Bloody amazing stage presence and energy.

Wtf, Tom is doing the scream again at the beginning. It must have been at least 20 years ago when he did that the last time.

[@EyexXx05]

He did it in the farewell tour 5 years ago... but not nearly as good as this one

He's not lip syncing but that scream did sound like it came from the album.

Or Jon dette

[@bluntforcetrauma2141]

Dude. This! 100%! I always thought Paul was the third best (first worst)? You both are equally correct. Lombardo or ette would have been better. There was a time where I thought Dette could play it better than Dave...maybe once. Kinda wished they kept Dette. He deserved to have at least one LP with slayer

Tom sounds SO much better than the guy Kerry King has singing in his band... World of difference! I'm glad Kerry is still doing his thing with his own band though. Will see Slayer at Aftershock!!

Tom sings it so you don't have to.

[@stevenarmstrong5116]

Have I been under a rock, I thought slayer were no more?

[@Huddle_House56]

No one really knows why, but Kerry king forms his own band which is basically just slayer with machine heads guitarist and another Hispanic guy (Marc osegueda) and he wrote his own stuff but they played slayer songs live and then out of nowhere earlier this year slayer announced they’re reforming and are doing 2 shows this one and one at a festival in Kentucky. Kind of weird.

[@HammerHeart3229]

They were but then they announced they were gonna do a couple of one-off shows this year. Apparently they're not gonna be touring or making any new music though and Kerry King has said his solo band is his first priority now. Whether it stays that way however I guess time will tell!

[@Huddle_House56]

@@HammerHeart3229 I’m sure once the numbers come in for riot fest and louder than life they will be announcing some more shows. I feel like they’re gonna play the DWP festivals

[@HammerHeart3229]

@@Huddle_House56 You might be right actually. I guess money talks at the end of the day. I suppose it also depends on whether Tom is bored of retirement and has the itch again!
