Each week, WWE fans see former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Damian Priest arrive to the tune of “Rise For The Night,” which is produced by Def Rebel. It also features guitar work by Slayer’s Kerry King, who will now be appearing alongside Priest at an upcoming concert.
As announced by the thrash metal band, Slayer will head to Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, Pennsylvania on September 20 for what will probably be their only United States-based headlining concert of 2025. Opening acts for the show include Knocked Loose, Suicidal Tendencies, Power Trip, Cavalera (performing the “Chaos A.D” album) and Exodus (performing the “Bonded by Blood” set). As for Priest’s involvement, he will probably be serving because the concert’s official host. General ticket sales for the show went continue to exist Ticketmaster on Friday, April 11, with pre-sale opportunities preceding it last Tuesday.
In a press release obtained by Billboard, King said, “Last yr, Slayer played only two shows, and people shows affected me like playing The Big 4 shows did. Once we played our first show last yr in Chicago, I figured it was going to be great for the fans, possibly there can be some individuals who had never seen us play before, however the response was just completely overwhelming. The fans reacted to us like I’d expect them to react to the largest band on the planet. It was amazing. So for the Hershey concert, we’ll play a Slayer show, we’ll have all of our big fire effects, and just burn every little thing like we used to.”
Outside of the ring, Priest is thought for being an enormous fan of metal music. This fandom got here after his childhood friend, Charlie Corletta, introduced him to Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”
