Kerry King - From Hell I Rise (2024)
Kerry King's debut solo album, From Hell I Rise, released on May 17, 2024, via Reigning Phoenix Music, delivers a potent dose of thrash metal reminiscent of his work with Slayer. The album features 13 tracks, including "Residue," "Idle Hands," and the title track, showcasing King's signature aggressive guitar riffs and dark thematic elements. Critics note that while the album doesn't stray far from Slayer's established sound, it benefits from the fresh energy brought by collaborators such as vocalist Mark Osegueda (Death Angel), drummer Paul Bostaph (Slayer), bassist Kyle Sanders (Hellyeah), and guitarist Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head). Some reviewers praise the album's relentless intensity and King's unwavering commitment to the thrash genre, while others suggest that it lacks innovation, adhering closely to familiar territory. Overall, From Hell I Rise is seen as a solid continuation of King's musical legacy, appealing to long-time fans of Slayer and thrash metal enthusiasts.
