Kerry King

KERRY KING, founding guitarist of the legendary Slayer, is one of the most instantly recognizable and respected musicians on the thrash/punk/metal scene and, over the past nearly four decades, has pioneered some of the most brutal and revolutionary music ever created. King wrote or co-wrote some of the Californian band's most beloved songs, including «Mandatory Suicide», «Repentless», «Hell Awaits», «Disciple» and «Raining Blood». Known for his loyalty to the L.A. Raiders, his passion for snakes and his taste for Jagermeister, KERRY KING is an outspoken, obstinate and authentic musician. Metal flows through his veins and, of course, he knows how to do what he does and has no interest in doing it differently. The ultimate proof of this is contained in his first album under his own name, entitled «From Hell I Rise», which will be released on May 17th through Reigning Phoenix Music.
