Mystic Festival 2024: Kerry King rises from hell!

9th February 2024 0 By Jon Deaux

Mystic Festival 2024: Kerry King rises from hell! He needs no introduction – Kerry King is back on stage with his new band and will play one of his first shows in Europe at Mystic Festival.

Kerry King, one of thrash metal’s most iconic guitarists and a co-founder of the mighty Slayer, is finally back in the game. Album ‘From Hell I Rise’, announced for mid-May, opens a new solo chapter of his career. This doesn’t mean, of course, that King will be alone on stage, as he has gathered a splendid line-up – he is accompanied on drums by his Slayer bandmate Paul Bostaph (also of Testament, Exodus and Forbidden), with Phil Demmel (known for Machine Head and Vio-Lence) playing second guitar and Kyle Sanders (Hellyeah) on bass. The voice of Kerry King’s band is Mark Osegueda, well known to thrash fans from Death Angel. The music? Exactly what you’d expect from King – thrash straight from hell, a high-octane continuation of what he did in Slayer.

If you were wondering who the mysterious Very Special Guest was, announced by us on the poster – it was him: Kerry King in the flesh! But please note that due to logistical reasons, his show will take place on Saturday 8 June on the Main Stage, not on Friday, as previously announced. By the way, we are also preparing something special for 7.06, which you will find out about next week.
