AMERICAN CARNAGE TOUR: MEGADETH, SLAYER & TESTAMENT

Megadeth, Slayer and Testament are gearing up for this summer's American Carnage North American tour. This is the first time that all three bands have toured the U.S. together since 1991's epic Clash of the Titans tour.

The three metal bands were originally slated to begin touring together this past January, but had to postpone the dates after Slayer vocalist/bassist Tom Araya decided to undergo surgery to treat the severe pain, numbness and muscle spasms he'd been dealing with.
