The article was published on the website euronews.com on May 3, 2013. The article reports that Guitarist with heavy-metal band Slayer, Jeff Hanneman, dies.

According to this article, his death may be connected to a spider bite that almost cost him his arm.

This extract is said that after being bitten, the musician had developed necrotizing fasciitis, the flesh-eating disease which attacks subcutaneous tissue. The article describes that Hanneman had recently begun writing songs with Slayer in anticipation of recording a new album. Firstly, Slayer were known as one of the “big four” thrash metal groups of 1980s along with Anthrax, Megadeth and Metallica. Next, the thrash metal genre was distinct for its extremely fast tempo, big double-bass drums and dark themes, often dealing with Satanism, war and serial killers. Secondly, music website Allmusic.com said the band’s trademark “full-throttle velocity, wildly chaotic guitar solos, and powerful musical chops paint an effectively chilling sonic background for their obsessive chronicling of the dark side.” In addition to, Hanneman was best known as a writer of the songs “Raining Blood” and “Angel of Death” from the 1986 album “Reign of Blood,” which was considered a landmark of the genre.

In this article the author gives the information that he was survived by his wife Kathryn and three siblings.

The author comes to the conclusion that Jeff Hanneman would always be a metal god. A true master, he gave energy and excitement to millions, and would continue to.

As for me, I can say that talented musicians are always in our memory and when we listen to their music again and again it remained us about these people.
