Unleash the Fury: Kerry King graces the cover of the latest Metal Hammer – Don’t Miss Out!
Metal Hammer’s latest issue is a must-read for all metal fans, featuring Kerry King on the cover as he gears up to launch his first solo album, ‘From Hell I Rise.’ The iconic guitarist shares the journey behind this record, from rebounding after Slayer’s retirement in 2019 to assembling his new band and his enthusiasm for staying true to his signature sound.
“I still write riffs that make me raise my guitar in triumph and do a little victory dance because I’m so thrilled with how they sound,” King shares. “This album brings a whole new energy and excitement, but it’s not a total reinvention of me because I’m not done being myself. And if you appreciate what Kerry King does as much as I do, you won’t be disappointed.”
King’s band comprises former Slayer drummer Paul Bostaph, Death Angel’s Mark Osegueda on vocals, and ex-Hellyeah bassist Kyle Sanders. King expresses, “I view myself as a fan first, so if I’m into it and I believe it’s something truly special, I think my fans will find it awesome.”
In addition, the issue delves into Sharon den Adel’s experience visiting a warzone in Kyiv while shooting a video for Within Temptation’s anti-war track, ‘A Fool’s Parade.’ In other features, Halestorm’s Lzzy talks about dark themes in music, Sebastian Bach reflects on his rockstar feuds, and Knocked Loose is highlighted as hardcore’s next big band.
Furthermore, readers are introduced to Mayhem-approved black metal trio Witch Club Satan, explore P.O.D.’s hometown of San Diego, and get an insightful interview with Ministry’s Al Jourgensen, covering topics like LSD, death, and Steven Spielberg.
