Rolling Stone simply printed their The 100 Finest Albums Of 2024 listing and it is obtained one metallic album on it. Rolling Stone missed some underground-ish killers like Blood Incantation‘s Absolute Elsewhere and Chat Pile‘s Cool World, skipped proper over Judas Priest‘s Invincible Defend for a extra mainstream decide, and went straight for Kerry King‘s debut solo album From Hell I Rise. Which definitely wasn’t dangerous, however I imply… no different metallic albums, huh? Additionally, I am unsure I agree with Rolling Stone creator Ok.G.‘s evaluation that King‘s album sounds “at instances, Slayer at their greatest.”
“The primary solo album from former Slayer guitarist Kerry King is mainly the ‘Nonetheless D.R.E.’ of thrash metallic,” wrote Ok.G. “However the place Dr. Dre needed to remind his followers that he was nonetheless puffin’ his leafs, nonetheless fucking with beats, and nonetheless not lovin’ police after near a decade’s absence, King needs his followers to know that although Slayer are basically hell certain, he is nonetheless Devil’s preeminent ambassador. On From Hell I Rise, King continues to be drinkin’ his tequila, nonetheless fucking with riffs, and nonetheless not lovin’ the clergymen. In different phrases, it feels like Slayer — and at instances, Slayer at their greatest.”
