RIP Metal God Jeff Hanneman

The news filtered through today that Grammy award winning Guitarist Jeff Hanneman had died aged 49 of Liver failure after an unfortunate incident with a Spider bite that went too long untreated.

Jeff was the founding member of Heavy Metal group Slayer a band he formed in 1981 but the breakthrough commercially took a few years when they unleashed the infamous songs 'Angel of Death' and 'Raining Blood'.

A true metal icon and will be sorely missed.
