The National Day Of SLAYER has apparently made an appeal to the Obama White House to acknowledge “the world’s first metal holiday” in a public proclamation on June 6th.
In a press release, the organization emphasizes the significance of heavy metal as a cultural movement and “hopes that President Obama will privately listen to Slayer on June 6th like so many of his constituents”.
The IDoS Task Force has also drafted a hilarious resolution for Obama to employ in his acknowledgment of the Slayer-themed celebration and reportedly mailed a copy of Slayer’s Reign In Blood to the White House to help expedite the process.
In the meantime, Slayer frontman Tom Araya made an appearance in an exclusive video posted today on the International Day Of Slayer homepage. He genially endorses the site’s efforts on behalf of the band and gives a brief recap of their studio and touring agenda for the summer.
