95 WIIL ROCK BREAKDOWN 09/24/2024….. Slayer…. Carla Harvey…. Slipknot….

Slayer took the stage at Riot Fest Sunday night in Chicago for their first performance since their farewell tour ended in late 2019. The band delivered a 20-song reunion set, featuring classics from Reign in Blood and Seasons in the Abyss. This performance is one of only three festival appearances for Slayer this year, with upcoming shows scheduled at the Louder Than Life and Aftershock festivals.

Carla Harvey, former vocalist of Butcher Babies, has unveiled her new band, The Violent Hour, through a recent social media post. Harvey expressed her excitement about the project, stating, “I’ve put my heart and soul into it over the last six months,” and urged fans to stay tuned for updates. This announcement follows Butcher Babies’ July decision to part ways with Harvey, wishing her well in future endeavors.

Slipknot’s anticipated homecoming at Knotfest Iowa was marred by severe weather, forcing the band to cut their headlining set to about an hour. Festival organizers made the decision to evacuate the grounds for safety. The band is set to perform next at the Louder Than Life festival in Kentucky on Thursday.
