Slayer’s Kerry King Teases New Single “My War” from Upcoming Second Solo Album
Slayer guitarist Kerry King has teased a new single titled “My War” from his upcoming second solo album.
The single will see its release on Tuesday, November 17th, but a snippet of the track can be heard via King’s Instagram below. The as-yet-unannounced new album will be the follow-up to 2024’s From Hell I Rise.
King discussed the upcoming album on CEO of Metal Blade Records Brian Slagel’s podcast “100 Songs That Define Heavy Metal,” saying, “I’m excited about it. There’s so many, so many fun things going around about this record in my camp. Josh Wilbur’s doing it again, and my publicist would knock me the fuck out if I gave up too much. But I think it’s a wonderful extension of the first album.”
He added, “I think everyone that’s been a fan of mine throughout history is gonna like it entirely. The intro, to me, is one of the best intros I ever made up, so I’m looking forward to hearing what people say about it once it comes out. It’s a slam dunk. It’s fucking crushing.”
King’s solo band is rounded out by singer Mark Osegueda (Death Angel), guitarist Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head, ex-Vio-lence), bassist Kyle Sanders (Hellyeah), and drummer Paul Bostaph (Slayer).
Meanwhile, Slayer have two Reign in Blood 40th anniversary shows at the Kia Forum set for this Friday and Saturday. Get tickets here.
