Slayer have already been announced on a few festivals this year, including Bonnaroo, Amnesia Rockfest, and more, and they’ve since added more dates.

On their way from ‘Roo to Amnesia, Slayer will fit in a few Northeast shows, including Long Island’s Paramount on June 16 and 17. Tickets for those shows go on sale Friday (2/27) at 10 AM with a venue presale starting today (2/25) at 10 AM. Use the password: PULSE. All dates are listed below.

Slayer are also releasing a Record Store Day (4/18) single this year. The A-side will have new song “When the Stillness Comes,” which is also set to appear on their TBA new album, and the B-side is a live version of “Black Magic” from their 1983 debut Show No Mercy, that they recorded at Germany’s Wacken festival last year.

In related news, former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo’s band Philm is currently on tour. They played NYC at Saint Vitus this past Monday (anyone go?) and will return here this coming Monday (3/2) at The Stone.
