Slayer have released a new video where they look back at some of their favourite band-related merchandise.
It’s the latest in an interview series where they’ve been looking back on their legendary 37 year career as they prepare to call it a day.
In the new video, the band chat about everything from snow globes and beer steins, to Slayer-branded skateboards, album packaging and bikes – and their relationship with Vans.
Vocalist and guitarist Tom Araya says: “The very first offer we had was from Vans. They reached out to us and said, ‘Hey, we want to do a Slayer Vans shoe.’ We were like, ‘Cool!’
“They did the original Van leather black shoe with blood splatter on the bottom and it sold!”
Guitarist Kerry Kings adds: “Something I think is cool is that big dye-cast eagle that Nuclear Blast put out for Repentless. That is really fucking sweet.”
Scion's epic Slayer-inspired car from 2014 also gets a look in.
Check out the full video below.
They’ll then return to Europe for further show this summer, including sets art Sweden Rock, Download UK, Graspop Metal Meeting and Hellfest.
