Kerry King - Launches Solo Project


Former Slayer guitarist Kerry King recently announced that he is releasing his debut solo album in 2024. While no official line-up has been announced so far, this project reportedly includes King's former Slayer bandmate, drummer Paul Bostaph (ex-Forbidden, Testament, Exodus), and King is scheduled to play his first show since Slayer's disbandment at next year's edition of Welcome To Rockville festival in Florida.

The inverted cross meant something long ago in metal logos and so on, today it's just silly. Oh well...

Missed opportunity to call it KK's Slayer.

On a (slightly) more serious note, Anselmo has been rumoured to be the vocalist.

I'm more fascinated by the headliner options - when there's 5 headliners on the Thursday (idk if they all clash with one another) and Machine Head is the indisputible best option to watch (assuming this solo project is as poor as I imagine it will be), you know pickings are slim. The biggest question will be whether Insane Clown Posse end up outclowned by Vince Neil's continued inability to hit a correct note

The logo may be cliché with the inverted cross, but as an autistic symmetry-afficionado, it really pleases my OCD.

He's been rumored to be in the "band" for at least two or three years, as has Gary Holt. Since there's never been any concrete evidence of the two being part of Kerry's "band" (and after the fact that Phil is very busy with Pantera and Gary has another Exodus album on the way), it seems to me those rumors are untrue.

The logo sucks. It would be awesome in 2000s when tribal tattoos were a thing. That said, I actually have some moderately high hopes for the music. On the other hand though... it might be just Repentless part 2, with more whammy rape.

Only few active old bands uses it, I dont think any new formed band in last 15 years has used it.

2 clowns togehter

KK hahaha maybe KKK Slayer
KK launches his band because he was pissed that nobowy did not take him back, and Ovens also complain that his era JP albums are not re released and nobody cares.
KK Priest's albums are killer.
I know King complained that Slayer retired to early, but I think musically well I am sceptic to that.

To excite kids, to piss off religious people.
What I meant was it's become so predictable, it's meaningless these days.

Kerry King has stated that he never wanted Slayer to disband. He kept pushing Araya to keep going. He was pissed off when Araya was like... No dude.. and so he set out to do his own thing. It might be a blend of thrash, death & heavy metal
