Kerry King is a thrash metal legend, best known as the co-founder and guitarist of the iconic band Slayer, a cornerstone of "Big Four." Across nearly four decades, King’s relentless riffs and aggressive songwriting drove Slayer to the forefront of heavy music with albums like "Reign in Blood" and "Seasons in the Abyss". Known for his unapologetically brutal sound, King helped shape a genre and left an indelible mark on the world of metal.
Following Slayer’s final show in 2019, King launched his solo project, unleashing his signature intensity on "From Hell I Rise", set to release in May 2024. Joined by a powerhouse lineup, including Paul Bostaph (drums) and Mark Osegueda (vocals), King’s new venture balances the raw fury of his Slayer days with fresh creative themes. Fans can expect a mix of Slayer classics and his new solo material during live performances.
King’s return is a testament to his enduring passion for metal. With From Hell I Rise, he continues his legacy as one of the most influential and uncompromising figures in the genre.
