Rumors

Is This SLAYER's "Old School" Setlist?

Slayer kicked off their US tour this past Friday in Los Angeles and promised fans to perform an "old school set" on the entire tour. After doing some setlist research, I think this would be their full old-school set.

The band played the Hollywood Palladaium last night for the first time in 25 years and performed these tunes:

Hell Awaits
The Antichrist
Necrophiliac
Mandatory Suicide
Captor of Sin
War Ensemble
Postmortem
Altar of Sacrifice
Jesus Saves
Die by the Sword
Spirit in Black
Hallowed Point
Seasons in the Abyss
At Dawn They Sleep
Dead Skin Mask
Raining Blood
Black Magic

Encore:
South of Heaven
Angel of Death

Now this was different than the set they performed at the kick-off show in Las Vegas. The Vegas show featured more new material like "World Painted Blood" and "Hate Worldwide," however the kick-off show was being broadcast live on SiriusXM Liquid Metal, so maybe Slayer threw in a few new tracks for their larger audience base. All the older tracks performed at the Joint were also performed the following night in LA, with even more classics thrown in.

This is me speculating, but I assume this will be the band's set for the remainder of the tour. Maybe they'll change up a few songs here and there but this seems like a pretty solid set. One thing that bothers me though is why not just play "Postmortem" and "Raining Blood" back to back like it should be?!

Get tour dates for the remainder of Slayer's tour right here and you can catch replays of their kickoff performance on SiriusXM Liquid Metal Tuesday night (Oct 29th) at 8pm and Thursday night at 10pm eastern time.
