Slayer confirmed as Sunday headliner for Bloodstock 2013

The Californian four-piece will close the Ronnie James Dio stage on Sunday night at Catton Park, bringing their face-melting, monster riffs to the metal hoards.  Guitarist Kerry King comments; "Can't wait to hit the stage at Bloodstock!  Metal Festival in England?  Fuck yes!!  It's going to be hell on earth and I'm looking forward to having a party with all my British friends."

Meanwhile, if you’re stuck for Xmas pressies for your mates, you can do a lot worse than have a poke around the Slayer Store.  Unfortunately, Satan’s favourite christmas jumper is already sold-out (http://slayer.backstreet-merch.com/stores/slayer/official_slayer_prd_christmas-holidays-jumper_slay246.html), but you can always pick up a bauble or two for your heavy metal Xmas tree (http://slayer.backstreet-merch.com/stores/slayer/official_slayer_christmas-baubles_christmas-bauble_slay247.html).
