Metal Masters IV happening at NYC's Gramercy Theatre in September w/ members of Slayer, Down, Anthrax and more

Three of the leading gear/technology companies for both musicians and consumers alike are returning with their successful “Metal Masters” clinic series… “Metal Masters 4” is bringing back some of the classic “Metal Masters” while adding a few new members to the list. As always, fans can expect some surprise appearances and unforgettable performances. “Metal Masters 4” will be comprised of Philip Anselmo (DOWN, ex-PANTERA), Kerry King (SLAYER), Dave Lombardo (SLAYER), Scott Ian (ANTHRAX), Charlie Benante (ANTHRAX), Frank Bello (ANTHRAX) and newly added masters Billy Sheehan (MR. BIG, DAVID LEE ROTH) and Gary Holt (EXODUS, SLAYER).

Metal Masters IV goes down at Gramercy Theatre on September 7, featuring some of the genre’s most influential musicians. In addition to a music clinic, last year’s event in LA at the Key Club featured the performers launching into covers of classics like Slayer’s “Angel Of Death” and “Raining Blood,” and a good portion of Pantera’s Vulgar Display Of Power before heading into the set closer, the Black Sabbath favorite “Hole In The Sky.” Tickets are on sale.

Reminder, Slayer is on the road with the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem tour this summer.

Also, look for Down on the road this fall, including a stop in NYC for a show at Best Buy Theater and another at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville.
