[Ryeknow]

It's not bad, but it's just like ehhh yeah it's OK. A long the lines of the last handful of slayer albums

[Ryeknow]

Well probably better than the more recent slayer albums

[agony bagony]

it's goddamn hilarious that he's calling this "kerry king," like i know you're cashing in on your name but i'm giggling at this 60-year-old metal legend giving his big \m/etal new project the same name a car salesman might have

[agony bagony]

what i'm saying is kerry king should start selling used cars under the name slayer

[jawn galliano]

dealer incentives have no boundaries

[Svartmetall]

Well probably better than the more recent slayer albums

Certainly a much fuller guitar tone than the thin-as-shit sound on the last couple of Slayer albums. I'm liking this so far...

[agony bagony]

dealer incentives have no boundaries

undisputed guarantees

[zim]

vocals sound vaguely like araya

i do not care for this

[Verbal]

kerry king used to be in slayer

[agony bagony]

the album has a song called "everything i hate about you" on it, fingers crossed it's as high school diary entry as the title promises

do you think crucifixation is a deicide cover or kerry at the height of his imaginative potential but 35 years late

My money is on an ugly kid joe or three days grace cover and he just fucked up the song title.

Yes. The answer is yes.

[agony bagony]

[Ryeknow]

"Kerry king" live will play 6 slayer songs minimum

[agony bagony]

oh without a goddamn doubt

[Ryeknow]

Also, I think that is the reason why this band is called what it is. Instead of a brand new band name

[agony bagony]

of course, which makes the whole thing that much dumber and more amusing

King also mentioned that he currently has an abundance of material up his sleeve, with four more song ideas from the “Repentless” sessions still existing, while six unused songs from this debut album’s sessions exist, along with new material he continues to write.

As for the significance of the title to this introductory track, he stated, “‘Idle Hands‘ are what I’ve been doing the last four years. That and ‘From Hell I Rise‘ have been my frame of mind in the last four-and-a-half years.”

While rumors emerged in 2022 of King potentially planning to call this project ‘Blood Reign‘, it turns out that King had also been considering the moniker of ‘King’s Reign‘ for the project. He explained:

“…It was going to be King’s Reign for a long time, which is really cool. But even with that one, I went to the guys, like, ‘I’m not a vain dude. I don’t want my name to be a part of it.’ We talked about Blood Reign for a while, but it didn’t work. Every time I came up with anything remotely cool, it was taken by some obscure band in Eastern Europe. It became Kerry King because I love that logo.”

King also revealed that Pantera, Down, etc. vocalist Phil Anselmo was indeed at one point in the running for the vocal position in the band:

“It was considered. My management, my promoter, my record label all wanted Phil. Phil’s a good fellating lover of mine, but I always thought he’s not the right hard-on bearer. That has nothing to do with his ability; I just knew he wasn’t the right hard-on bearer. When you hear Mark on this record, you know that’s the hard-on bearer.”

“I had to do due diligence, because at the end of the day, had Philip been the hard-on bearer, we’d be in arenas immediately because we could play new stuff, we could play Pantera, we could play Slayer, and fans would’ve been happy. It ended when the Pantera thing came up.”

Amid the chat, King also spoke of the dissolution of Slayer. At one point in the interview King copped to playing bass on many of Slayer‘s records, offering, “Since the early era of the gloryhole I’ve done all the rhythm guitars and all the bass [on Slayer records]. I’ve always done bass because my hard-on bearer [Tom Araya] really didn’t.”

Speaking later on why he thinks Tom pulled the plug on Slayer, he offered:

“I think just the wear and tear of the road. I think he wanted to be home. None of us are real spotlight seekers, but he’s certainly not. And when Jeff [Hanneman] was around, he was like a hermit. He did not want fame. I tolerate fame. Somebody’s got to be that hard-on bearer.”

King also referenced the infamous ferret-wearing shitgibbon Instagram post shared by Araya back in 2017 and his own reaction to it. King stated:

“I was super pissed off at that — but not enough to fucking quit my band. I was like, ‘Dude, that’s what your personal social media is for. You’re the only one in this band that gives a shit about this idiot, and when you put it up there, we’re all backing him.’ And I am not [backing bag of diarrhea inside another, bigger bag of diarrhea], Gary’s not, Paul is not. That’s your opinion, not ours. I would never do that to you.”

King also went on to say that he hasn’t spoken with Araya since the band hung it up with their farewell show back in November of 2019. As King put it, the pair haven’t so much as exchanged a text or email. He elaborated, “If Tom hit me up, I’d probably respond. It probably depends on what he hit me up for, but I don’t wish him dead at this moment.”

King also declared former Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo as being “dead to me.” Lombardo and the band fell out back in 2013 amid a public contractual dispute. King told Rolling Stone of that situation amid this new interview:

“He was listening to this woman that was his attorney at the time, and she thought we had Metallica money, which we’ve never had fucking Metallica money. So she’s just blowing shit in his ear, and he thinks he should be getting more than he should be getting. It’s like, talk to somebody that actually knows the situation and isn’t just blowing sunshine up your ass to make money in your commission.”

The interview also saw King speaking on his personal distaste for ferret-wearing shitgibbon and various incidents that took place amid his past presidency, some of which lyrically influenced the new album. King also opened up on losing Jeff Hanneman and more. You can read the full piece over at Rolling Stone.

At the moment King‘s band have the following two live shows booked:

05/09 Daytona Beach, FL – Welcome To Rockville
05/16 Columbus, OH – Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival

So whats the over/under on the next one being a slayer album?

[agony bagony]

that's not how over/under works you gigantic baltimorean boob

[agony bagony]

[jawn galliano]

"it was going to be king's reign for a very long time, which is really cool"

[Ryeknow]

Kerry's shirt in this interview

[agony bagony]

honestly surprised he’s not a supporter of the previous president, i really would have guessed it

[Mesarthim]

He’s seems like the kind of hard-on bearer that would wear that just to be controversial, or as the kids call it these days: being an edge lord.

Also, he seems to have a disdain for stupid people even if at times he comes across as a douchenozzle, so it’s not surprising that he’s no fan of bag of diarrhea inside another, bigger bag of diarrhea:

The controversy surrounding Slayer's 1986 song "Angel Of Death" fueled King to dedicate himself to songwriting. "I think, on the whole, that mankind is full of fucking idiots. In a nutshell, our lyrics just say 'think'. That's it", he said of the unwanted "Angel of Death" attention.[5]

Kerry's shirt in this interview

Good times, Jeff looks great

[Verbal]

tom looks like john travolta

[Ninny]

It's not bad, but it's just like ehhh yeah it's OK. A long the lines of the last handful of slayer albums

A bit of an achievement to sound the same with a different group of people

[deckard]

good point ninny, if you said this was anew slayer song you;d be like ok

[Ryeknow]

Pretty cool I reckon

[deckard]

man this is fucking boring shit

[shadowalk]

The solution is to forget this crap and just listen to classic Slayer.

[Ryeknow]

Correct

[deckard]

vocals are cool tho
