Could it really be? I thought it was a long shot, but Stern was seen attending and advertising at a Slayer concert a couple years back. Now I see a teaser from Zombie Yeti on his face book page of what appears to be a Devil holding up the devil horn sign. It also has the hashtag, #nulearblastusa, which is Slayer's current label. I thought Maiden was next, but this seems like a done deal to me.
Quoted from jkashani:Slayer would be a no brainer for me having been a fan since I was a teenager. If they did it right it would be amazing.
\m/
Sweet, then we can sit around for years arguing whether the game is racist or not.
Quoted from DanQverymuch:Between Slayer and Iron Maiden I could name exactly zero songs.
Maiden I can name 1/2 a song; "Run for the Hills."

Don't loose hope, maybe they will make a Barry Manilow pin next.
Quoted from Underspin:Dear Stern,
Beastie Boys.
Signed,
Thousands of fans with deep pockets
Take it you haven't been to a Slayer show lately. Fucking $45 T-shirts...
Quoted from nwpinball:Don't loose hope, maybe they will make a Barry Manilow pin next.
Speak for yourself. Though we did play a Manilow song at my wife's funeral.
I mean, come on, compared to Slayer and Maiden, Metallica was a hit making machine.
They already made Metallica and AC/DC, the only metal bands left with broad appeal are Judas Priest and Sabbath/Ozzy. I'd be down for those.
I have lost hope that losers will ever learn that loose=not tight. Rhymes with noose, you'd think that imagery would strike a chord with metalheads.
Hey, I'm sure Slayer kicks ass, but they would need to sell enough pins to make money...
Added a poll.....I think it will make for a killer pinball game if you like the music or not. I'm envisioning a super modern version of gorgar with metal music playing.
Quoted from dgoett:You're REALLY missing out.
I have Spotify, I'll give them a chance sometime when I'm in a rowdy mood.
Embryonic death,
Embedded in your brain.
Suffocation, strangulation,
Death is fucking you insane!
Yes please 
Probably a joke tho. I'd prefer Iron Maiden.
Quoted from jeffpm:Feels too niche, but who else from the Nuclear Blast roster would it be?
Agnostic Front maybe? 
The satanism part would be cool, but given the political climate I think a pin based off of a band that uses Nazi imagery for fun would be skirting the borders of taste.
I'm sure I'll catch heat for this, but, being a christian this would not only be a pass for me, it would be a pass on all future Sterns indefinitely.

I don't get it - are you under the impression that Slayer is a satanic band?

Derail incoming.

Tom Araya's father is a preacher.
That whole family is blessed.
Quoted from TheLaw:No Christians just like horrible fucking music
j/k, everyone loves shitty music aorund here.
ABSOLUTELY!! I for one love 70s Prog rock as well as metal 
and my wife is into Yacht Rock

Oh come on - not this conversation again. I actually like music that's way heavier than Slayer...but still Christian.
They would totally sell out of LE's i'm thinking. Lot's of Old Metal guys like me with deep deep pockets for Music related Pins
Oh wow, I haven't heard the phrase "yacht rock" in years - that's a term from the late 70s regarding music like Kenny Loggins, I think.
Quoted from dmbjunky:Yacht rock?
OK so a Yacht is a boat / recreational ship... which reminds me of the ORCA... THIS IS YETi another hint at JAWS !!! YESSSSS
Quoted from TheLaw:No Christians just like horrible fucking music
Quoted from Damonator:Oh come on - not this conversation again. I actually like music that's way heavier than Slayer...but still Christian.
HA! That's my fault, I actually meant to type "they just DON'T like..." which you can see makes more sense with my original post. My bad!
Quoted from DanQverymuch:Between Slayer and Iron Maiden I could name exactly zero songs.
Aren't they the same band?
Quoted from Damonator:I'm sure I'll catch heat for this, but, being a christian this would not only be a pass for me, it would be a pass on all future Sterns indefinitely.
You'd never buy a Stern again because they did a pin for a band you don't like? That's hilarious. 
You're going to be in every new game thread like a kid with their nose up against the bakery window, fogging the glass with your breath, looking at all the other children laughing and playing pinball. Every once in a while you'll sigh, then eventually shuffle away with your hand in your pockets, kicking at rocks, and muttering about stupid Slayer.
I would give Stern props for having more balls than I imagined if they actually do a Slayer pin. Believe it when it happens. Sounds awesome though.
