Slayer is an American thrash metal band formed in Huntington Park, California in 1981. The band has endured a strong series of backlashes from both Christianity and the general public for controversial titles such as South Of Heaven and God Hates Us All. However, their bassist/vocalist Tom Araya is a Roman Catholic who claims to not be offended by the lyrics that Kerry King wrote. In 2013, their guitarist, Jeff Hanneman, died. Exodus' guitarist Gary Holt filled in, initially, and became a full member not long after. Later in the same year, their drummer, Dave Lombardo, got replaced by returning member named Paul Bostaph.
