AMERICAN CARNAGE
AMERICAN CARNAGE
Kicking off on July 23, 2010, in Quebec City, the American Carnage Tour brought Slayer, Megadeth, and Testament together to wreak havoc throughout the US and Canada. A special feature of the tour was Slayer performing Seasons in the Abyss in its entirety, as well as bringing other classics to the frenzied crowds. AntiMusic Network described Slayer's American Carnage performance in Chicago: "You couldn't tell where the wrath of the pit began or ended. All one could see was a sea of people churning in circles and against one another like a battle call for the disillusioned had been dialed up."
