29-04-2026

SLAYER guitarist Kerry King will release an extended deluxe edition of his acclaimed debut solo album, “From Hell I Rise”, on June 19 via Reigning Phoenix Music, expanding the record with five previously unheard demos and new visual elements, including cover artwork by James Bousema and a revamped layout with additional photos.

The demos offer a rare window into King‘s creative process, complete with scratch vocal performances by Kerry. Something that he’s been doing for many years, and it’s never been heard outside the studio, until now.
