See Reunited Slayer Play Jeffrey Dahmer-Themed ‘213’ for First Time Since 1998 at Riot Fest

Slayer performed '213' for the first time since 1998 and 'Reborn' for the first time since 2014 at Riot Fest on Sunday.

As any headbanger would expect, they stacked the set list with fan favorites — “South of Heaven,” “War Ensemble,” “Angel of Death” — but they also resuscitated a few surprising songs. Then Tom Araya sings: “Driving compulsion, morbid thoughts come to mind/Sexual release buried deep inside.” He wrote the lyrics about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, whose apartment number was 213. “Nothing compares to the 90 minutes when we’re on stage playing live, sharing that intense energy with our fans, and to be honest, we have missed that,” Araya said in a statement when the reunion was announced.
