Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman dead at 49
http://www.billboard.com/articles/ne...man-dead-at-49
Slayer guitarist and founding member Jeff Hanneman died earlier today of liver failure. He was 49. "Slayer is devastated to inform that their bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11AM this morning near his Southern California home," the band's longtime publicist said in a statement. "Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure." Hanneman co-founded the thrash metal greats with Kerry King in 1981; their breakthrough came in 1986 with the brutalist album "Reign in Blood." Hanneman wrote or co-wrote the set's standout tracks, "Angel of Death" and "Raining Blood." Slayer's first three studio albums hold the distinction of being their biggest. "Reign in Blood" (1986), "South of Heaven" (1988) and "Seasons of the Abyss" (1990) account for over 2 million of their 4.9 million albums sold in the SoundScan era (1991-present). Their highest charting album on the Billboard 200 to date is 2006's "Christ Illusion," which debuted at No. 5. Their top-selling song is the Hanneman-penned "Raining Blood": |
