Thrash metal veterans Slayer are hatching plans for their second Unholy Alliance tour, which will launch this fall and will feature three of four other bands, say sources close to the tour. However, no other groups have been announced.

Last year’s Unholy Alliance tour, one of the strongest metal bills of the year, featured Slayer, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Children of Bodom and Thine Eyes Bleed. A live CD and DVD of that outing is scheduled for release May 1, according to Amazon.com.
