Kerry King will release My War on Tuesday 17 November, the first song from his second solo album.
He described the record on Brian Slagel's podcast about the hundred songs that made heavy metal, and he described it the way he describes most things. A wonderful extension of the first album, he called it, before adding that the intro is one of the best he has ever written and that his publicist would hurt him if he gave away more.
From Hell I Rise came out in May 2024 on Reigning Phoenix Music, and Josh Wilbur is producing the follow up as well. The band behind King is the same one that made the first record: Mark Osegueda of Death Angel singing, Phil Demmel on second guitar, Kyle Sanders on bass and Paul Bostaph on drums, which is two thirds of a late era Slayer rhythm section with a thrash singer in front of it.
A tour follows in early 2027. Independent Artist Group recently took on both Slayer and the solo band for representation outside the United States and Canada, which is usually what happens before a calendar fills up.
No album title and no date for it yet.
