Super7 will be releasing a new action figure set inspired by the artwork for Slayer‘s “Live Undead” on August 19. Here’s a description of the set:
“The collaboration of Super7 with heavy metal legends @slayerbandofficial continues with the Live Undead 3-Pack! Inspired by the band’s 1984 “live” EP it features the undead band members as 3.75″ ReAction Figures with the bleeding headstone right out of the record’s cover art. The set comes with 2 guitar accessories packaged in a graveyard window box.”
Slayer have teamed up with hockey-themed brand Puck Hcky for a new merch collection. You can see what they have to offer HERE. Matt Marini, founder of Puck Hcky, commented on the collaboration:
“The entire staff at Puck Hcky is always jamming Slayer tunes when we need some energy. So when the opportunity to actually work with a band of Slayer’s stature became a reality, we literally jumped at the chance. We take great pride in our work and who we collaborate with, and we feel this Slayer collection contains some of our finest creations ever! We hope everyone digs it.”
Slayer officially wrapped up their career with one final show in Los Angels, CA on November 30, 2019, but many fans are still hoping that the band will return one day. During an interview on Dean Delray’s “Let There Be Talk” podcast, guitarist Gary Holt was asked about a potential reunion and he responded by saying “to [his] knowledge, it’s done.”
Holt said the following:
“To my knowledge, to what I know, it [was the final show]. People say, ‘Oh, maybe they’ll come back in a few years.’ I don’t know. If it does, if it ever happens, it has nothing to do with me. Someone else would call and say, ‘We wanna [do this].’ To my knowledge, it’s done. And I think it should be that way. The band went out fucking on a bang, went out on SLAYER’s terms, and how many people get to say they did that?”
He continued:
“Everybody’s happy doing their own thing. I’m happy as fuck. Not that SLAYER made me unhappy — I was treated like family — but I’m back with my first family [Exodus]. I’m back with not my stepbrothers — I’m back with my real brothers. And that’s where my heart is, and I missed it, and I was missing it more and more all the time.”

Slayer will be celebrating “International Day Of Slayer” (June 6) by releasing their film, “Slayer: The Repentless Killogy,” and its companion live release, “The Repentless Killogy (Live at the Forum in Inglewood, CA),” on video on demand. You can find more info regarding that HERE.
It was previously revealed that Funko were working on new Pop! vinyl figures of Slayer’s Tom Araya, Kerry King, and Jeff Hanneman and now those figures have officially been released. You can get them individually at funko.com and a full set at slayer.net.
According to BallerStatus, Slayer have teamed up with Diamond Supply Co. for a new merch line featuring t-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, accessories, and more. You can find everything they have to offer HERE.
Slayer have launched a new Instagram contest in which fans can win a 6.66″ engraved “HELL-P” featuring a live version of “Repentless” from “Slayer: The Repentless Killogy.” Interestingly, the record was forged from stainless steel and copper and it has to be set on fire before listening. There are only six available and you can find more information on how to win one HERE.
Slayer officially called it quits last year, but Viagogo apparently tried to scam fans by selling tickets to a fake reunion show. The band commented:
“WARNING TO SLAYER FANS!
There are tickets being offered on Viagogo for a Slayer performance at Sweden Rocks June 2020. Buyer beware this is a resale site with inaccurate information SLAYER WILL NOT PERFORMING.”
Funko announced a bunch of new music-related Pop! vinyl figures earlier today (January 20) as part of this year’s London Toy Fair. They include new figures inspired by Slipknot, Slayer, Ghost, Motörhead, ZZ Top, Weezer, Eazy-E, and Willie Nelson.
