Slayer Bids Farewell To Philadelphia

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”
