Brian Slagel to Host First In-Person Tour of Metal Blade Museum in Las Vegas!

Metal Blade Records continues its 40th Anniversary Celebration in 2022 with a slew of new events and a kickass exhibit. The fiercely independent label that launched Metallica, Slayer, Armored Saint, Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, and dozens more iconic heavy metal bands, invites fans to live shows in Brooklyn, New York, and Las Vegas, Nevada, home to the Metal Blade Museum, a specially curated exhibit stocked with timeless memorabilia and artifacts spanning the label’s history, from 1982 through the present day. Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel will personally host the first tour of the Metal Blade Museum for 20 ticket holders at noon on Wednesday, July 20.  

Technical death metal merchants RIVERS OF NIHIL headline the first Metal Blade Records 40th show on August 6 at Brooklyn’s famed St. Vitus venue, with a DJ set from REVOCATION’s Dave Davidson.

Only a limited number of tickets will be available to the public!
