FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SLAYER'S "UNHOLY ALLIANCE TOUR" TO NOW START JUNE 10 IN PEORIA, IL
Special EP - "Eternal Pyre" - To be Released on 6/6/06 Via Hot Topic

Los Angeles, CA - May 11, 2006 -- The Slayer-headlined "Unholy Alliance
Tour: Preaching to the Perverted," featuring Lamb of God, Children of
Bodom, Mastodon, and Thine Eyes Bleed, and originally slated to launch on
6.6.06 in San Diego, CA will now kick off on June 10 at the East Peoria
Convention Center in Peoria, IL.

Postponed and rescheduled shows are:
** San Diego, CA - originally June 6 at the Sports Arena, now rescheduled
for July 20 at the Sports Arena
** Las Vegas, NV - originally June 7 at The Orleans, now rescheduled for
July 24 at The Orleans
** Denver, CO - originally June 9 at the Fillmore Auditorium, now
rescheduled for July 26 at the Fillmore Auditorium

In addition, two sold-out "warm up" dates - June 2 at New Oasis in Reno, NV,
and June 3 at Senator Theatre in Chico, CA - will be rescheduled to take
place following the Denver date at the end of July.

Tickets purchased for all postponed dates will be honored at the rescheduled
concerts.

The postponement of the tour's start date is due to Slayer bassist/vocalist
Tom Araya's minor gallbladder surgery which successfully took place late
last week. Araya is doing fine, recuperating at home.

With the tour's kick off now June 10, Six-Six-O-Six will still be a special
day for Slayer fans. On that day, Slayer will release "Eternal Pyre," a
limited edition EP that will preview "Cult," a brand-new song from the
band's as yet untitled new album (due out July 25), a live version of "Dead
Skin Mask" recorded at last year's Full Force Festival, exclusive
behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the new album, and, originally
available only on 1995's now out-of-print "Live Intrusion" video, a 5-minute
clip of the Slayer fan who carved the band's name into his forearm.
"Eternal Pyre" will be available exclusively at all Hot Topic stores.

The members of Slayer - Araya, Kerry King/guitars, Jeff Hanneman/guitars,
and drummer Dave Lombardo - are in the final stages of completing their new
album, Slayer's first new studio album since Lombardo rejoined the band in
2003. The new album is being produced by Josh Abraham and executive
produced by Rick Rubin and will be released on Slayer's long-time label,
Rubin's American Recordings.

Titles for some of the album's new songs include "Cult," "Consfearcy," "Eyes
of the Insane," and "Jihad." In a recent interview with MTV, Araya said
about the new album, "It's fast - maybe faster than anything we've done
before. No one's going to be disappointed. It's going to be brutal."
