About four decades ago, a new form of music, with complex, fast and technical playing, paired with dark, occult and subversive lyrics, ever since fans have been hand banging to thrash metal bands since. Within the genre, “the big four” are bands seen as the bedrock of the style. One of those bands is Slayer—the others being Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth, and they’ve melted your face since 1981.
Recently, Slayer announced their world farewell tour, giving thrash metal fans one last chance to see some of the founding fathers of that musical insanity. Jägermeister UK, in commemoration of the band’s long, storied career, and in celebration of their final appearance in the UK, has commissioned a limited-edition bottle and case. The 1.75L bottle sports a label in Slayer’s iconic album cover style designed by lifelong Slayer fans Mark Donington and Ricky Cheng.
