Kerry King LP Out today • Euro Tour Kicks Off June 3 • New video for "Toxic"

KERRY KING CELEBRATES TODAY’S

“From Hell I Rise” ALBUM RELEASE

WITH NEW VIDEO “TOXIC”

European Tour To Kick Off on June 3

Today Kerry King finally releases his solo debut album, “From Hell I Rise” via Reigning Phoenix Music, and unveils the project’s brand-new video “Toxic”, which has been co-directed by Jim Louvau and his partner Tony Aguilera.

Similar to King’s acclaimed “Residue” video, which was released last month, “Toxic” was shot at a downtown Phoenix studio and features a fiery, high energy, heavy assault of performance from King’s new band: Mark Osegueda (vocals), Phil Demmel (guitar), Kyle Sanders(bass) and drummer Paul Bostaph.

Jim Louvau admits: “We’re at a point where political fatigue has set in and become an issue for most people who live in our country no matter what side of the coin they land on. The lyrics and energy of the song showcase that sentiment, so I wanted to create something visually that almost feels like a trailer for what we are about to experience. I also wanted to address PTSD for people who have serviced in the military and how the increased political landscape affects their mental health which often goes unnoticed.”

This month, the band performed their first live show, totally sold out, at Reggies in Chicago. The concert was described as “dark, packed, and exceptionally loud,” everything you could ask for at such a landmark show as this one… a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience.” In the days following, the band went from playing an intimate venue to performing at the huge US festivals Welcome to Rockville (FL) and Sonic Temple (OH), treating the audience to an incredible experience of pure metal firepower.

Now the band is ready to embark on a European tour that will start on June 3 – on Kerry King‘s birthday: “Can’t wait to be back in Europe, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my birthday. Let’s f*cking rage!”.

The tour will combine headline shows in the UK, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and Spain but also festival appearances such as Rock Am Ring, Hellfest, Tuska Festival, Download, Sweden Rock Festival & many more.

“From Hell I Rise” is out today, with brilliant reviews received internationally:

“This is what people should want and expect from a Kerry King solo album.

He’s back and he’s f*cking livid.” — Metal Hammer (UK)

“Kerry King shaped the sound of extreme metal. With a new album and a new sparring partner, he hasn’t mellowed” – Total Guitar (UK)

“From Hell I Rise is a decisive musical statement from a man on a mission, out to prove himself after the then apparent demise of one of thrash metal’s ‘Big Four.’ Every note seems intentional, every beat meticulously composed, yet all of it played with a spontaneity that belies its years-long incubation period.” – Premier Guitar (US)

“From Hell I Rise is flush with rapid-fire thrash rhythms, chromatic guitar riffs and blazing leads, with songs that vary in tone from eerie and atmospheric to savage and torrential.”

Guitar World (US)

“… perfection.” — Ian Bussières, LeSoleil (Canada)

“From Hell I Rise is an honest album that has little to envy of Repentless (2015), especially as it has the remarkable performance of Mark Osegueda whose singing is full of conviction and pulls the band upwards. Looking forward to Hellfest!” – Rock Hard (FR)

“Combine the musical craftsmanship with a good production and a number of cool songs, and you know that you are not getting any rubbish with ‘From Hell I Rise.'” – Aardschok (NL)
