PENTICTON – Slayer, along with Anthrax and Death Angel, will make a stop in the Okanagan as part of the Mighty Triumvirate Tour this fall.

The trio of 1980s thrash metal bands will play the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton on Wednesday, Oct. 19. Tickets go on say Friday, May 13 at 10 a.m.

Slayer fans can expect to hear songs from the bands 30 year history including from their latest album Repentless album. Slayer has a reputation for being the "supreme thrash-metal band on the planet," according to a media release.

"It’s always super fun for us to tour with Anthrax. Put that together with Death Angel and fans will probably see the best package this year," Slayer's Kerry King says in the release.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
