SLAYER, MASTODON, MESHUGGAH Confirmed For Sweden's METALTOWN Festival

March 5, 2007

SLAYER, MASTODON and MESHUGGAH have been confirmed for the Metaltown festival, set to take place June 30 at Frihamnen in Gothenburg, Sweden. Also scheduled to appear are STONE SOUR and MACHINE HEAD, according to Roadrunner Records Sweden.

Revolver magazine's 2007 "Readers' Poll" singled out SLAYER's Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman as "Best Guitarist/Guitar Team," and also named Dave Lombardo as "Best Drummer." SLAYER also placed Top 5 in the categories "Best Band Ever," "Best Live Band," "Album of the Year" (for "Christ Illusion"),and Band of the Year."

In its brand new issue, Spin's 2006 Readers Poll named SLAYER the "Best Live Band," coming in ahead of PANIC! AT THE DISCO and THE KILLERS.

SLAYER headlined last summer's North American/European "Unholy Alliance Tour", as well as their just-concluded winter 2007 North American tour. They kick off their first Australian tour in five years on April 12, and will play some of the major European festivals in early summer. More North American tour plans for later this year will be announced shortly.
