After releasing Repentless, Slayer hit the road in 2016 to support the album. But with the arrival of the blistering Repentless Killogy and a shift in the band’s goals, Slayer was gearing up for an unforgettable stage onslaught. The band embarked on their Final World Tour from May 2018 through November 2019, performing nearly 150 shows.
Rolling Stone raved about the career-spanning tour: "I can’t put in words how spectacular the stage, light and pyro setup were. As their intro music played, the laser pentagrams, fire pyros, and lights turned SAP Center into probably the closest version of hell that you could experience without actually departing this world."
