From Hell I Rise
2024 studio album by Kerry King
From Hell I Rise is the debut solo album by Slayer guitarist Kerry King , released on May 17, 2024, through Reigning Phoenix Music.[ 2] It is King's first album since disbanding Slayer in 2019, and its contributors include Mark Osegueda of Death Angel on vocals, former Vio-lence and Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel , Hellyeah bassist Kyle Sanders , and Slayer and former Testament , Forbidden and Exodus drummer Paul Bostaph .[ 2] The album's sound has been described as similar to Slayer.[ 1]
Background and recording
Work on From Hell I Rise began as early as 2020, with King saying in an interview on the Dean Guitars YouTube channel that August that he had "more than two records' worth of music".[ 12] King's Slayer bandmate and drummer Paul Bostaph stated that same month he and King were working on a new project that would "sound like Slayer without it being Slayer — but not intentionally so."[ 13]
Progress on the album remained slow within the next three years. King said in a January 2024 interview with Metal Hammer magazine that it had been "done since June" 2023, with production handled by Josh Wilbur.[ 2] [ 14] About five months after its completion, King hinted that he was going to release the debut album by his new project in 2024;[ 15] this project was later revealed to be his solo debut album.[ 16] Details of the album, including its title, release date and lineup, were announced on February 5, 2024, and its first single "Idle Hands" was premiered on the same day.[ 2]
