The American thrash metal group Slayer, based in Huntington Park, California, was founded in 1981 by drummer Dave Lombardo, bassist/vocalist Tom Araya, and guitarists Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman. Slayer was one of the “big four” bands of thrash metal, along with Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax, thanks to their fast-paced, violent sound. King, Araya, drummer Paul Bostaph, and guitarist Gary Holt make up Slayer‘s current lineup. Holt joined the band as a touring musician in 2011 before becoming a permanent member following Hanneman’s death in 2013; drummer Jon Dette was previously a member.
