DIABOLUS IN MUSICA

DIABOLUS IN MUSICA

Slayer’s Diabolus on Tour marked a bold chapter in the band’s history, supporting their 1998 album Diabolus in Musica. The tour spanned a whopping 21 countries. In October 1998, Kerry King told Greek television program Jammin that this was the longest tour they had embarked on to date. "We're going to a lot of new places this time, plus every place we've been to before...We've been halfway around the world and we'll have to do the other half before Christmas."
