The recently (kinda) reunited Slayer is looking back on their iconic career with the official launch of their new online museum, Slaytanic Verses.
In partnership with Definitive Authentic/Inveniem, this exclusive virtual museum offers a behind-the-scenes look at memorabilia rarely seen by the public, straight from the band's personal archives. So if you're a huge Slayer fan – or you just really, really like metal history – this one is for you.
