Exhorder to Perform Entire Slaughter in the Vatican Album on Tour

Exhorder, the New Orleans groove metal band to whom Pantera arguably owed their entire career (don’t @ me), will hit the road for a tour of the U.S. in November.

Making this run especially extra-special is that they’ll be performing their classic 1990 debut, Slaughter in the Vatican, in its entirety. There’s a caveat, which is that vocalist Kyle Thomas is the sole remaining member of Exhorder to actually appear on Slaughter in the Vatican, but if people didn’t mind Slayer missing its most important members I dunno why that would bother anyone.

Making this run especially especially extra-special is that support will come from Take Offense, longtime MS faves Extinction A.D., and Plague Years.

Exhorder comment:

“This one has been getting put together for some time now, but we’re happy to finally announce our ‘Slaughter in the Vatican’ tour 2021! We will be playing the album in its entirety every night, and we’re happy to share the stage with Take Offense, Extinction AD, and Plague Years! We’re making our way to some new markets as well. We can’t wait to see you good people!”
