Here’s the first picture and sample of Kerry’s new solo band.

It’s pretty much what I expected… generic post 2000 Slayer, but I still enjoy it musically.

You described it perfectly. I didn't much care for it.

This is so generic and boring!!! Good vocals though. Phil's solo in the new song is really good. I want to heare more of the album, but this was a terrible song to start with.

Kerry made a good decision hiring Mark Osegueda and Phil Demmel. It’s unfortunate that it’s only Kerry writing the songs… but it has potential. It’s not bad… but it’s just copy and paste of post 2000 thrash/metal-core.

I need to hear the full album!

I have a feeling it will be better than “Repentless”. Which was a big disappointment!

There might be some good stuff. We need to hear the full album.

Mark nails the Postmortem scream! Gary Holt and Phil Demmel sound great together. It’s no mistake that Kerry chose to work with them.

If dude put 1/2 the effort into writing tunes as his image, maybe he'd come up with something interesting?

I'm still bummed that he didn't call his new combo "K.K.'s Slayer."

I kind of liked it but I am known to have terrible taste.

Finally got a chance to listen to Kerry's "Idle Hands" this morning.

Gee. what a surprise, it sounds ... just like Slayer! It didn't blow my doors off, but not terrible either.

Mark Osegueda (sp?) is doin' a pretty legit Tom Araya impression.

Will I bother with the album? Probably not.

I’ll probably get it when it’s on sale.

I'm definitely gonna get the album. I have to!!

Meh. Mark's voice is way to associated with Death Angel for me to really enjoy this.Maybe the ol' coach is just too burned out on Thrash and/or metal in general these days...

LOL!

“King Slayer”

If Kerry was a Pro Wrestler, he could be known as Scary Kerry.

Strange but true:
Almost immediately after announcing his solo album, Kerry will be re-uniting with Slayer for a couple of festival dates this summer.

A friend's kid told me about this yesterday.  
My guess, the guarantee offered for Kerry King Solo Band was only a fraction of the size of his ego.

Me...


Gee, another band of
senior citizens way past
their expiration date
milking the tit of nostalgia

Nothing wrong with a band of old-timers milking nostalgia if they still have an audience that pays to see them.

They just need a few naps before showtime and their ensure protein drinks.

It’s like the movie Cocoon (metal edition).

"Depends"

I have re-evaluated my position

The success of current "Pantera" has EVERYTHING to do with Slayer doing shows again.
