Megadeth, Slayer head to Roy Wilkins

​Megadeth, practically giving it away.

Within the terminology of heavy metal, Megadeth and Slayer don't have much to talk about. Megadeth is the simultaneously tongue-in-cheek and absurdly maudlin thrash act that was a 2nd place heir to Metallica's throne throughout the 80s and 90s. Slayer, on the other hand, was the death obsessed, lead heavy proto-black metal band that had terminal, lyrical blood lust.

And yet here they are, hand in bloody hand, touring the nation. They'll hit the Roy Wilkins stage this February with an astonishingly populist $10.00 ticket.
