R.I.P. Jeff Hanneman (January 31, 1964 – May 2, 2013)

Jeff passed away at 11AM this morning from liver failure while at a hospital.  He was an original member of Slayer since their inception in 1981, and contributed to every Slayer album. One of his finest works was Angel of Death, which he contributed the lyrics.

He’ll never be forgotten.

SLAYERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Most Impressive!
