This is not an episode. Not a proper episode. But...

Today’s topic is some absolutely killer, very old Slayer footage that is bustin’ out all over the internet. This is probably the best Slayer video I have ever seen. And I’ve seen most of it.

It's live footage. It's a long, long interview. It’s live from the Slaytanic inner sanctum. It’s ALL. It’s everything. And it’s from a truly historical junction for the band: in that zero-gravity moment between when Reign in Blood was finished and released.

And/or listen to this little mini-episode to hear me explain why it's such a big deal.

Tune back in Saturday, 6/6/26, for a very special look at the most hesher holiday, The International Day of Slayer. This is a whole new kind of episode. Different how? Tune in and find out. Tell a friend.
