Thrash titans SLAYER will be reigning down on New York City's The Theater At Madison Square Garden as MSG Entertainment unleashes the legendary group on Wednesday, November 27th in the band’s first appearance at that venue in twenty-five years. It's also Slayer's first time back in New York since 2011's now historic Big Four show at Yankee Stadium. Over the past eighteen months, Slayer has toured throughout Europe, India, Japan, South America, and Austalia and co-headlined the 2012 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Tour of North America.

While recovering from the devastating loss of late founding member Jeff Hanneman, vocalist/bassist Tom Araya and guitarist Kerry King have begun work on new material. Now, Slayer fans have the chance to win tickets to the bands return to New York on Wednesday, November 27th at The Theater At Madison Square Garden as WVOX.com's Metal Mayhem and hosts Matthew O'Shaughnessy and Tony Gizzo will be giving away tickets Tuesday's between 9-11pm and Friday's from 6-10pm EST exclusively on WVOX.com Worldwide and 1460 AM.

To help mark the band's very first performance at the Hollywood Palladium in 25 years, SLAYER will play a special, one-time-only set at their show this Sunday, October 27th. According to Kerry King, Sunday will be Old School Slayer Night, and the band's set list will be comprised of songs dating back to the band's inception, will include tracks from the genre-defining Reign In Blood as well as South Of Heaven, the band's second Gold album, up to and including 1990's Seasons In The Abyss, their third Gold disc.

"We're still putting together the set list," said King, "but we're going to make sure we play one or two rarities as well. Should be a lot of fun for the band as well as the fans."

Sunday and Monday's Palladium dates are part of Slayer's five-week North American headline tour - the band's first in two years - that kicks off this Friday, October 25th in Las Vegas. Slayer - guitarist King, Tom Araya/bass, vocals, drummer Paul Bostaph, and guitarist Gary Holt who continues to fill in for the late founding member Jeff Hanneman - will have GOJIRA and 4ARM support on all dates.
