Artist: Kerry King
Title: “Idle Hands” (Single)
Label: Reigning Phoenix Music
Date: 2/4/2024

I guess it was only a matter of time after Slayer decided to formally retire that we’d be getting some new music from their legendary founder Kerry King. King has assembled a super-powered lineup that features Phil Demmel (Machine Head), Kyle Sanders (Hell Yeah), Mark Osegueda (Death Angel) and Paul Bostaph (Slayer) and together they are ready to deliver some molten hot Metal on a still growing record label, Reigning Phoenix Music. The first track released from the group comes via “Idle Hands” and I’ve spun it a few times before penning these thoughts. It’s a nice and thrashy number and Mark does a great job with the vocals here and despite his years fronting Death Angel I didn’t feel that he sounded like he was from that band. Bostaph is as solid as ever and after so many years on the drums for Slayer surely knows how to keep the time paced nice and fast with King delivering the riffs. “Idle Hands” is an energetic track that I can see inspiring some circle pit activity in the fans at a live and if you are wondering if it sounds like a Slayer track, well it doesn’t at all. At least to me it didn’t, it sounded like a new chapter from the creative mind of King. Great lead guitar work from Demmel and solid bass from Sanders make me interested in what is yet to come.

Last night, the legendary Thrash Metal band Slayer completed the touring run of “The Final Campaign” with a sold-out performance at the Los Angeles Forum. As most of you already know, this show also marked the end of touring activity for the band as a whole. Fortunately for those of us who could make the trip or get a ticket at all, one of the fans in the front recorded the last minutes of the show and we are sharing their clip for the masses to enjoy.

After the closing number of “Angel Of Death” was performed, the band did the group photo with the audience behind them and then called our their crew who kept things in motion night after night for their own photo. After these photos were taken and a number of guitar picks and drumsticks were thrown to the ravenous crowd, a choked up Tom Araya took to the microphone and offered up these closing words.

The Press Release:

Featured in this exclusive new interview footage, Araya and King break down the making of the final film, from the original concept for the “Repentless” music video with director BJ McDonnell, to collaborating with Nuclear Blast Records and Prime Zero Productions to produce McDonnell’s larger vision for a unique, three-part narrative trilogy of relentlessly blood-soaked, revenge-driven music videos and the short film they inspired.
