Thrash Metal Legends Slayer and shock rocker Marilyn Manson are teaming up for a co-headlining summer tour in the USA. The bands are joining forces for a jaunt set to launch in West Palm Beach, Florida, on July 25, and will be joined for the 25-city trek by Bleeding Through and another support act to be named later. The tour will crisscross North America, making stops in Atlanta, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles and Dallas before winding down on September 1 in San Antonio, Texas.

Manson will use the tour to promote his forthcoming album "Eat Me, Drink Me" which is slated for release June 5. Slayer, of course, continue to spread the word about their latest "Christ Illusion" which was released last August. Slayer spent last summer traveling the States with Lamb Of God, Mastodon, Children Of Bodom and Thine Eyes Bleed as part of the band's Unholy Alliance Tour.

"Satan is alive and well and living on the planet Earth, and now you know exactly where to find him ? this tour." Manson told MTV News in an interview at the beginning of May. "Our differences complement each other, and the uniting element in all of it is the darkness that both bands represent," he added. (The whole interview can be read here.)
