Slayer guitarist and founding member Jeff Hanneman died earlier today of liver failure. He was 49.
"Slayer is devastated to inform that their bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11AM this morning near his Southern California home," the band's longtime publicist said in a statement. "Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure."
Hanneman co-founded the thrash metal greats with Kerry King in 1981; their breakthrough came in 1986 with the brutalist album "Reign in Blood." Hanneman wrote or co-wrote the set's standout tracks, "Angel of Death" and "Raining Blood."

Yesterday, thrash metal gods Slayer posted an open letter to fans regarding the ill health of guitarist Jeff Hanneman, who suffered a spider bite last year that eventually left him in a medically induced coma, from which he was slowly recovering. Sadly, today, Hanneman passed away at age 49 of liver failure. The band’s publicist issued the following statement:
Slayer is devastated to inform that their bandmate and brother, Jeff Hanneman, passed away at about 11AM this morning near his Southern California home. He was 49. Hanneman was in an area hospital when he suffered liver failure. He is survived by his wife Kathy, his sister Kathy and his brothers Michael and Larry, and will be sorely missed.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Slayer are one of the most important bands in the history of metal if not American rock music, period. They were also one of the few metal bands to remain vital well into middle age. The loss of Hanneman is a significant one. Just terrible, sad news. RIP.

Saw this while at work & wanted to get here as soon as I could to commiserate with my friends & fellow fans.
Rest in peace Jeff. Can't thank you enough for the songs. Most aggressive music I've ever heard & was perfect when I was in a pissed mood or wanted to kick someones ass.
One great memory I have of Jeff was back in the 80's when they opened for Judas Priest. A time when Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, etc fans in high school were all about looking the part. Yet I would still wear my beach clothes & surf t-shirts. Jeff was wearing a long sleeve Local Motion surf shop t-shirt on stage. HAHA! Validation!! If the heaviest MoFo of all time can wear it then so can I. I remember it to this day. Will never forget.
See you south of heaven bro! I'll bring some ice cold Heineken's for ya!!
(still my all time favorite T-shirt logo)
