Kerry King is about to release his first solo album. On May 17th, the Slayer guitarist will release his debut album “From Hell I Rise”, which will be released on the road with a series of shows. The first of them took place this Tuesday (7), at the Reggies bar, in Chicago, United States.
The musician took the stage accompanied by his band, also credited in the material. Mark Osegueda (Death Angel) on vocals, Paul Bostaph (Slayer) on drums, Kyle Sanders (ex-Hellyeah) on bass and Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head, Vio-Lence) on guitar make up the lineup.

For now, the Kerry King Band is scheduled for a series of festivals in North America, in addition to the “Ashes Of Leviathan” tour, which brings together Lamb of God and Mastodon as coheadliners. The rotation takes place between the months of July and August.
Shortly after the album’s announcement, fans were taken by surprise with the news that Slayer would also resume activities. So far, the thrash metal giants have three shows scheduled in the United States. The lineup is the same as that on the last tours, with Gary Holt on second guitar and Tom Araya on bass and vocals.
