SLAYER Guitarist KERRY KING On His New Project - "You Will See Me In The Future... It Will Be F#%king Good"
October 15, 2021, 3 years ago
In a new interview with Metal Hammer, guitarist Kerry King drops some hints about his forthcoming post-Slayer project.
Remaining fairly tight-lipped on what exactly his future plans might be, King explains, “I’m dragging my feet on letting the world know what I’m doing because there’s no rush. I have a tour that I’m considering doing, but I’m not going to announce a band, I’m not going to announce a record, I’m not going to announce anything. But you will see me in the future... it will be fucking good.”
Last year King revealed that he has “more than two records' worth of music” written for a new project, in which he will be reunited with former Slayer drummer Paul Bostaph.

Earlier this week, King revealed that he thinks Slayer, who played their final show in November 2019 in Los Angeles, called it a day too early.
Kerry took part in a recent video compilation offering congratulations to Machine Head on their 30th anniversary. In the video (see below) he says: "So, I hear congratulations are in order for my friends in Machine Head. Apparently, it's 30 years, which is quite an achievement. Not a lot of bands get there. We did, and then we quit too early. Fuck us. I know, fuck me. I hate fucking not playing. But, besides the point, this is Machine Head's celebration, and I gotta say, I'm not sure Robb (Flynn) knows this, I think Robb knows this, but if you don't here you go, the only band I ever demanded to open for Slayer was Machine Head. 1994, Burn My Eyes. Greatest thing I ever did. Cheers to my friends, you guys deserve it. Have a good one."
