Slayer performing at the Reading Festival in 2006

Slayer is an American thrash metal band, formed in 1981 by guitarists Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King. Slayer rose to fame as a leader of the American thrash metal movement with their 1986 release Reign in Blood, which has been called "the heaviest album of all time." The band is credited as one of the "Big Four" thrash metal bands along with Megadeth, Metallica, and Anthrax. Slayer is known for its musical traits, involving fast tremolo picking, guitar solos, double bass drumming, and screaming vocals. The band's lyrics and album art, which cover topics such as serial killers, satanism, religion and warfare have generated album bans, delays, lawsuits and strong criticism from religious groups and the public. Since their debut record in 1983, the band has released two live albums, one box set, two DVDs, two EPs, and ten albums, four of which have received gold certification. The band has received two Grammy nominations, winning one in 2007 for the song "Eyes of the Insane", and headlined music festivals worldwide, including Ozzfest, The Unholy Alliance and the Download Festival.

Central Coast Mariners FC

This is a list of football (soccer) players who have played for Central Coast Mariners FC. It includes players that have played at least one match, either as a starting player or a substitute, for the Mariners in the A-League competition and the finals series. The Pre-Season Cup competition is not included.

The A-League is the premier domestic association football competition in Australia. It was founded in 2004, and the Central Coast Mariners were one of the eight inaugural clubs to participate in the new competition.[1] The A-League competition consists of a regular season and a finals series of the top four teams, with the premiership being awarded to the club who finishes on top of the table in the regular season, and the championship to the winner of the Grand Final.[2] Central Coast finished as runner-up in the 2005–06 season, losing in the Grand Final to Sydney FC.[3]

Central Coast have had seven players compete for them who have been capped at international level – six Australians and one Scot. This includes the current record-holder for goals for the Australian national team, Damian Mori, who played eight matches for the Mariners in the 2006–07 A-League season and two in the 2007–08 season.[4]
