KERRY KING has released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Where I Reign, is taken from the SLAYER guitarist’s debut solo album, From Hell I Rise, which was released back in May, via Reigning Phoenix Music.
The new music video was directed by Jim Louvau who also directed KING’s videos for the album cuts Residue and Toxic.
“I wanted to capture the fury and the energy of the band in a live setting,” says Louvau, “an intensity that is matched from a visual standpoint that matches the intensity of the song and the energy that the band brings each and every night on tour, and I think we were able to do that. There are some still photos in the video that also show motion and energy, and I was really just trying to bring that energy to life in a live setting that is different from the other two videos that were done in the studio and were a little more in a controlled environment. So this video was definitely the guys’ being themselves and just showcasing what the band provides in a live setting.”

Alongside the release of the new music video, KERRY KING has announced a headlining North American tour for January and February next year. Support for the tour comes from MUNICIPAL WASTE and ALIEN WEAPONRY.
“Getting back on the road for the first time in five years wasn’t exactly like riding a bike, that’s for sure,” King acknowledges. “I’ve never had that much time off, but the first tours with my new band – in the UK and Europe, and then in America with LAMB OF GOD and MASTODON – were all total blasts. We’ll be headlining on this next tour, so we’re playing a longer set than we did with LAMB OF GOD and MASTODON. We’ve got a little bit of a learning curve, so will start rehearsing the first week of November. And we might put an extra SLAYER song into the set and learn a cover song or two.”
