Slayer are currently out on their final tour, but it looks like we may still get to see more things from them in the future. During a recent interview with Masslive.com, the group’s manager Rick Sales said the farewell run “doesn’t mean the end of the band” and that “it’s just the end of touring.”
Sales said the following:
“The band has always had a lot of integrity, there are a couple things that go on. I totally get that they made a decision to stop touring. That doesn’t mean the end of the band. It’s just the end of touring. I always thought of it as, ‘You go out on top.’ They made that decision. They’re not milking it. From that standpoint, I get it and they made the right choice.”
Kristen Mulderig, who works for Rick Sales Entertainment Group, also commented on the future of the Slayer brand during a chat with Pollstar:
“We’re in legacy mode, which is a lot to do, even though they won’t be making records or on the road. They still have their endorsers, there’s still merch and branding to do — sync licenses and who knows? Maybe coming up with some sort of event that is Slayer-based. This is all stuff we’re thinking about and talking about. Slayer lives on, absolutely.”
