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… truly a once in a lifetime experience. In the days following, the band went from playing a more intimate venue to performing at the huge US festivals, Welcome to Rockville (FL) and Sonic Temple (OH), treating audiences to an incredible experience of pure metal firepower. Now the band is ready to embark on a European tour that begins June 3rd – on KERRY KING‘s birthday. He tells us: “Can’t wait to be back in Europe and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my birthday. Let’s fucking rage!”. The tour will combine headline shows in the UK, The Netherlands and Germany, and also major festival appearances including Hellfest, Download, Rock Am Ring, Tuska, Graspop, Sweden Rock Festival & more. The album has already received brilliant reviews internationally: “From Hell I Rise slays from start to finish.” – KERRANG! (UK) “This is what people should want and expect from a Kerry King solo album. He’s back and he’s fucking 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) “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) |
