Slayer, one of the most influential thrash metal bands in history brought its 18 month old “Final World Tour” to the BB&T Pavilion in Camden, NJ on May 24, 2019 to say goodbye to the good people of the Delaware Valley by putting on a thrash metal show for the ages. Performing wise, Slayer has not lost a step 38 years after forming in Southern California.
Supporting Slayer on this leg of the tour was Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth and Lamb of God.
From the moment the curtain dropped, the hard pounding metal music rattled anything that wasn’t screwed down in the surrounding Camden area. Slayer opened with “Repentless,” the title track off its most-recent studio record, released in 2015. This set the tone for metal experience Camden, NJ was about to get for the next hour and a half. The crowd that was made up of kids and adults, who were almost all wearing Slayer t-shirts, went ape-shit for the entire 20 song set which spanned the band’s entire 38 year career.
Tom Araya barely acknowledged that the show was to be Slayers last in the Philadelphia area, until after their set and encore of “Raining Blood,” “Black Magic, ” “Dead Skin Mask” and lastly “Angel of Death”
