After the closing number of “Angel Of Death” was performed, the band did the group photo with the audience behind them and then called our their crew who kept things in motion night after night for their own photo. After these photos were taken and a number of guitar picks and drumsticks were thrown to the ravenous crowd, a choked up Tom Araya took to the microphone and offered up these closing words.

The Press Release:
In a new video released today, SLAYER’s Tom Araya and Kerry King share the story behind the previously-unseen short film and boundary-pushing music video trilogy that is set to be presented alongside Slayer’s entire 2017 concert shot at the Los Angeles Forum. “Slayer: The Repentless Killogy” will see its one-night theatrical screening take place around the world on Wednesday, November 6, from Trafalgar Releasing.
