SLAYER have launched their official fan community, Slatanic Wehrmacht (www.slatanicwehrmacht.com), just in time for their co-headline US tour with MARILYN MANSON.

The band has long recognized that Slayer fans are part of their own counterculture. They are diehard and proud. With that in mind, the band created this online community as a way to more closely interact with their most passionate fans and for those fans to interact with each other.

To celebrate, all members who join before June 1st are automatically eligible to win one of three autographed copies of their latest album, Christ Illusion.
