Exodus: Brothers in Combat

Exodus: Brothers in Combat

By March 18, things were about to scale up. This tour notebook page marks the first references to the upcoming Combat Tour, a multi-band push that would bring Slayer and Exodus together under one banner.

A press conference with Exodus is noted first, and names like Michael Alago and Michel Meese appear (industry figures who would soon have major impact on the metal and thrash world). There’s mention of rooms on Crescent Street in Montreal and a call to Combat Records. The Combat Tour was beginning to take shape and Slayer's notoriety was on the rise.
