EURO DOCTOR RECOMMENDS SLAYER CONCERTS CANCELLED[views:16108][posts:10]__________________________________ [Oct 25,2004 7:18pm - succubus ""] Under doctor's recommendation, SLAYER has had to cancel four dates on its U.S. Jagermeister Music Tour. The cancelled dates are the tour's kick-off, Friday, October 29 in Springfield, MO, Saturday, October 30 in Des Moines, IA, Tuesday, November 9 in Belle Vernon (Pittsburgh), PA, and Friday, November 26 in Tampa, FL. Having just completed co-headlining the 20-date, sold-out "Unholy Alliance" European tour with Slipknot, Slayer's vocalist/bassist Tom Araya was taken to the hospital last Wednesday in Holland immediately following the band's performance. The doctors there diagnosed Araya with vocal fatigue, and directed that he completely rest his voice - no singing, no talking - for at least a week. In addition, the doctors cautioned Araya to not sing more than four consecutive nights, or he could risk doing irreparable damage to his vocal cords. Hence, the cancellation of the Belle Vernon and Tampa dates. Araya and his Slayer bandmates - Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman/guitars and drummer Dave Lombardo - are confident that staying true to the schedule of no more than four consecutive shows will eliminate the possibility of any other dates being cancelled on the Jagermeister tour. The Slayer-headlined Jagermeister Music Tour will now kick off on Halloween, Sunday, October 31 in St. Louis at The Pageant (Mastadon and Killswitch Engage support). The updated Slayer/Jagermeister tour is as follows: OCTOBER 31 The Pageant, St. Louis, MO NOVEMBER 2 Quest Club, Minneapolis, MN 3 Eagles Ballroom, Milwaukee, WI 5 Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL 6 Harpošs Detroit, MI 7 Egyptian Room @ Murat Centre, Indianapolis, IN 10 The Staircase, Pittston, PA 11 Roseland Ballroom, New York, NY 12 Starland Ballroom, Sayreville, NJ 13 The Palladium, Worcester, MA 15 Lupošs @ The Strand, Providence, RI 16 State Theatre, Portland, ME 18 Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA 19 Agora Ballroom, Cleveland, OH 20 Dome Theatre, Niagara Falls, NY 21 Bogartšs, Cincinnati, OH 23 Nation, Washington, D.C. 24 Norva Theatre, Norfolk, VA 25 Tabernacle, Atlanta, GA 27 Revolution, Ft.

At these select shows (determined by each venue's technical specifications) during Slayer's classic song "Raining Blood," the band, their instruments, and the stage will be drenched by a downpour of "blood." The "Wall of Blood" will rain more than 150 litres of theatrical blood over an area measuring from 32-feet to 40-feet wide (determined by the size of the venuešs stage), 25-feet high, and six-feet deep. The device is a dedicated truss and sprinkler system that utilizes a unique pump technology, and was designed exclusively for Slayer by UK-based Hangman Productions. Slayer used the "raining blood" effect last July in Augusta, ME while filming their brand-new DVD, "Still Reigning." The Dean Karr-directed DVD opens with the the band's 1986, 28-minute benchmark album "Reign In Blood" performed live in its entirety by Slayer's original line-up - Tom Araya (vocals, bass), guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman, and drummer Dave Lombardo, who permanently rejoined the band in 2003. "Still Reigning" also offers bonus material including live performances of Slayer classics such as "War Ensemble," "Hallowed Point," "Necrophobic," "Mandatory Suicide," "Spill The Blood," "Hell Awaits," and "South of Heaven," as well as exclusive interviews and backstage footage. "Still Reigning" has a running time of more than 80-minutes and a confirmed November 2, 2004 release date.
