Kerry King Solo Debut Live | Rock Music News

Kerry King, Slayer’s legendary guitarist, electrified Summerfest in Milwaukee after nine months off, headlining in place of Megadeth — a major milestone for his solo career following the release of his debut album, “From Hell I Rise.” Backed by a powerhouse lineup from Death Angel, Machine Head, Hellyeah, and Slayer’s Paul Bostaph, King wrote all the songs and even recorded scratch vocals on demos, though he insists guitar is his true calling. Since the album dropped, he’s been touring nonstop — kicking off his first headlining tour in January and hitting Europe in June — while confidently standing apart from Slayer’s legacy, knowing some fans crave the old sound but embracing his fresh direction. With studio time booked for April 2026 and a new tour planned for early 2027, King’s creative fire is burning brighter than ever, now managed internationally by Independent Artist Group.
