Talkin' Slayer tells the story of Slayer, the thrashiest of the Big Four thrash metal bands. After some introduction episodes, this weekly show recaps the history of the Los Angeles heavy metal institution, in chronological order: how the band happened, when things fell apart, how they put them back together, and what it all meant—no, MEANS. After Episode 9, Patreon supporters receive every weekly episode. Talkin' Slayer is written, deeply researched, lightly edited, and mostly rehearsed, with some production value. Episodes start after :60-:90 of intro; no need to skip the first 20 minutes.

ANYHOW...

Every week, award-winning journalist — and lifelong fan — D.X. Ferris reads Slaytanic history to you from his book Slayer 66 2/3: A Metal Band Biography...

The new 4th edition of the book is available in four formats. Here's what they are, with links to them. They are at a reduced price ,for a limited time: $26.66 (uncut ALL version), $9.99 (ebook), $19.66 (short version), and $36.66 (oversize coffee table edition).

1) The Uncut Standard Version: It is...

Paperback, 6x9”, 639 pages, includes a full index and works cited / bibliography section, plus annotated endnotes (with new Easter eggs), and 60 black & white photos & 11 illustrations. 500 pages of story, plus 100 pages of reference material. Ferris is not f*cking around.

This one is the peak, biggest, All-est version of the current edition, with the most pages and photos. It has all the material from the previous versions, and then A WHOLE METRIC SH*T-TON MORE.

The works cited is a trendy thing: It's one big list of all the different items used in the research -- articles, videos, books, everything.

2) The Oversize Version. This monster paperback is 8.5x11”, 580 pages, and larger type. The format has size limits, so omits the works cited section and a few of the less awesome photos. It includes 50 b&w photos. The full real content is there.

3) The ebook has no index, but features two additional appendices and mostly color photos.

ALSO...

4) The paperback 6x9” Long Story Short… and Cheaper Version runs 400 pages. It has full research citations, and most b&w photos, but no appendices, index or standalone redundant works cited section.

This Short & Cheap version cuts a lot of important historical context and commentary. And it concentrates on the Slayer story as it unfolds. It's missing a ton of good stuff. But, hey, it's your money and time. Do what you will. We get it.
