Slayer’s Kerry King Has Enough Material for More Than Two Solo Albums
Slayer’s Kerry King has been using his time in lockdown wisely by working on new music, so much so that King says he as enough material to make up not one by two albums.
The guitarist revealed the news while talking with Dean Guitars about how he comes up with riffs and solos.
“I’ve been very lucky with riffs in 2020 – maybe because I can’t go anywhere,” he said. :But riffs have not been a problem. And looking forward, what that means for me is I’m going to be able to pick the best stuff – and it’s good stuff.
“I’ve got more than two records’ worth of music, but to be able to go through that and pick the best 11 or 12? That first record should be smoking,” he added.
It might take a while, though.
“I’m the only lyricist, because I’m the only one writing music,” he said. “I’m not positive who everybody is that’s going to be playing with me. I’ve got to pick those songs and start trying to put lyrics on them to move the process forward.
We’re ready, King!
