In a recent conversation on The SDR Show<\/a><\/em>, Slayer<\/a><\/strong>‘s guitarist Kerry King<\/a><\/strong> revealed an interesting tidbit about his debut solo album, From Hell I Rise<\/a><\/em>: King<\/a><\/strong> originally recorded the scratch vocals on all the album’s demo tracks, most of them as first takes. Reflecting on his vocal style, King<\/a><\/strong> described it as sounding like “an angry white punk kid,” with a tone he likened to something “kind of adolescent.”<\/p>\n These initial vocal recordings served as placeholders until more polished vocals were added. King<\/a><\/strong> explained: ”\u00a0I just put it on there so we had something existing. I knew I didn’t wanna sing because I can’t sing and play that much. The easy parts, yeah, but not like\u00a0Zakk<\/strong>\u00a0Wylde<\/strong> or\u00a0James<\/strong>\u00a0Hetfield<\/strong> does. They’re\u00a0crazy\u00a0vocalists who play\u00a0crazy\u00a0riffs underneath what they’re singing. I don’t know how they do it.”<\/p>\n When asked if these scratch vocal tracks might ever see the light of day as a bonus release, King<\/strong> didn’t rule it out: “I’m not against it. If you ask me, like, what if\u00a0Glenn Tipton<\/strong>\u00a0sang all the\u00a0Priest<\/a><\/strong>‘s\u00a0songs. Would you wanna hear it? I’m, like, that’s a weird scenario, ’cause it’s fucking\u00a0Rob Halford<\/strong>. But I’d be curious. It’s intriguing.”<\/p>\n King<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0recently sat down with\u00a0Metal Injection<\/em>\u00a0for an extensive interview where he mentioned that a\u00a0Slayer<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0reunion show in Europe might happen in the near future, even when frequent\u00a0Slayer<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0shows are largely not happening.<\/p>\n “It’s hard not to. I’m trying to be real and definitely say, hey, we’re not gonna tour again. And we’re certainly not gonna record again, ’cause I have a means of doing that now with my band. [We’re doing] three shows for now. And I say ‘for now’ because I know Europe’s gonna come knocking, ‘Hey, man, you guys played America. Come see us.’ So it wouldn’t surprise me if something like that happened, but it’s certainly not on my books right now.”<\/p>\n \n
