Meet Kerry King on a Southwest airlines trip from Socal to Norcal during the Unholy Alliance tour. I was in the front row of the plane right by the door with my head down preparing for an ass ride home when I saw Kerry’s tattooed leg walk by. I immediately knew who it was without even looking up. The moment was surreal for the young me and, looking back, I’m still surprised with what an amazing guy he is, besides the musical talent. Not only was he the coolest and most humble dude in conversation, but he gave me tickets and backstage passes to the show. One of the best times of my life hands down!
This is pretty much a wet dream for me...always loved KK, always fucking love death angel..Phil is a bad motherfucker and Bostaph has always been in my top 10 metal kit.. what a great project, this shit sounds fucking killer. 🔥
I saw em open for Mastodon in Sydney. Had 0 expectations. But when I heard the voice I was impressed. Also they played raining blood and relentless. Had no idea they'd cover Slayer.
Highly divergent results. Now it sounds unnatural, like a bunch of old men playing rock in a pub. Cult Of Luna are much better performers and if Kerry had not missed the opportunity, he should have teamed up his project with Swedish musicians.
@user-vh8lg1vd6m oh cause there are no good musicians from anywhere but Sweden? Whatever. If you don't like the music, just move on. Why waste your time writing negative and borderline racist comments?
Not that I know what I'm really talking about but anyway, as someone who sang for a few years, and also based on my observations of pros, I suspect what Mark is doing here is one of the most technically difficult things to do. Engaging the false chords along with the regular ones and controlling them both so well. It's like there are 2 voices here at the same time. I think that's crazy hard, and relatively few singers actually do it. 2 cents.
@@eon14873 I have been a huge fan of Death Angel since their second album, and my favorite album is the Evil Divide. Their first album, actually, is my least favorite of all of their albums. They have gotten so much better over time.
@@TechPro-24 On a personal level... I would agree, he seems like a tool. But on a musical level, this is insanely good shit... I can't wait to hear the rest!! And Mark is crushing the vocal duties here...🤘🤘
man can we appreciate how many truly bad ass old school rock/metal bands are coming out with BAD ASS projects all of the sudden? LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL 🤘🔥🔥🔥💀🔥🔥🔥🤘
51 yrs and still listening to Kerry King. Bought my 1st Slayer cassette decades ago, Show No Mercy, no turning back for me. Slayer will never die.. thanks Kerry King.. yeahhh.. respect and love from Singapore 🤘🤘🤘
got kerry to sign an original press show no mercy vinyl at one of those things where you meet and greet at guitar center, even he cracked a smile when he saw that vinyl, show no mercy is awesome, like satanic Manowar haha
I grew up in this little enclave called Newark. Paul Bostaph lived in Ight down the street by the high school. Passed his house all the time never even knowing a fuckin legend grew up there
@@gregsimmons694 I've never liked Megadeth, mostly because of the screechy weak vocals, and I know they are talented musicians but "Mega-Dave" never keeps a stable line up in his band. I don't care for that style of guitar either. To each their own. Hail Thor!
Dearh angel was one my favs growing up. Im actually inpressed how he changed vocal style for this band! If he goes any harder he will almost be death metal. His harshness snd screams and grunts sound viscous man!!! Cool tune!!!
@NinjaDefiler GenX.....don't forget it. We rule the world at the moment. Oh...and you'll be 50 too when Gen Alpha washes the floor with yalls uselessness.
Met Kerry once in Melbourne doing some shopping with his mrs, was so pumped cos we were going to the Slayer concert that night. He stopped and had a chat with us, really nice guy.
True Bay area style thrash! Beautiful melodies! I sometime think that Kerry is not just a thrash guitarist, he is a true music composer and his dna molecules in his brain is full of infinite melodies.
I always held a special attraction to late 90s Slayer. This bears resemblance to what was good in the times. Contemplative feeling with measured brutality. Addicted now.
I was always Hannemann Fan, and I still and forever will be. And the words, Kerry said after Jeffs passing weren't the best way to talk about an bandmate, who he was in the same band for over 30 years. But honestly, this song ist kicking ass, and for me the most important thing: It is NOT Slayer 2.0.. It has definitely something outstanding, something own. A great song. A brutal song. And the vocals are amazing. Looking for the album.
Jeff is under appreciated by the generic metal kids who know maybe just 5-6 Slayer songs, some even think King did ALL the leads. I'm not a hater though, he's a legit good songwriter and when he took classes to make his solos better before Seasons and continuing to do so for Divine, he was real fucking solid with his leads in those 2 albums too, it showed he put more effort after that dry spell he had on SoH which is mostly a Jeff/Tom masterpiece music-wise.
Hello. I can not disagree more. Very good riffs, very good song. But for me it sounds still like "Repentless outtake". Exacly the same vibe, like nothing changerd, not even little step forward was done by Mr KIng.

You rock
@marxism7927 Truly amazing live and I hope you get that chance soon new day! Stay \m/
🤔…..
Isn’t he like 5’7”?!?!
Did your parents have any children that lived?
So great to see the Bay Area masters here, Demmel, Osegueda and Bostaph, a dream for an old thrash kid from the late 80s
For real!!!! Like hometown allstars
Most definitely. I want this more for Osegueda than I do Kerry. F'n love Death Angel.
This is pretty much a wet dream for me...always loved KK, always fucking love death angel..Phil is a bad motherfucker and Bostaph has always been in my top 10 metal kit.. what a great project, this shit sounds fucking killer. 🔥
@walterthompson9903 I agree with you!!! And I'm 57 Years old! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Absolutely the best pick for a vocalist! Mark's vocals are amazing on DA and Kerry King. Cant wait to hear the rest of it!
I don’t listen to death angel but this is like slayer with stronger vocals idk if he does the falsetto though I kinda like that tom did those
It sounds like shit. Just some dude yelling.
@@acutemadness Check out the first 4 Death Angel albums first 👍 🤘🤘
I saw em open for Mastodon in Sydney. Had 0 expectations. But when I heard the voice I was impressed. Also they played raining blood and relentless. Had no idea they'd cover Slayer.
Getting Phil on the lead guitar was the right move. The guy can write awesome riffs and tasty solos.
yea amazing musician
Indeed but he didn't write any riffs
@@Aenigmakil true lol. Hopefully we can get some more groove if they ever decide to make new music lol
Outside of Gary Holt, he’s the fucking man.
Agreed man,, and it sort of takes it away from the basically full on Slayer song.. but wouldn't be cool to hear Tom sing it,,,, just sayin
The solo is one of the most unexpected and pleasant surprises of this song! Incredible!
The most unexpected would be NO solo in a Kerry King Song
@@antares4975No...The most unexpected is a GOOD SOLO in a Kerry's song.
@@SpecialWarfareCommand Kerry's solos have never been topped
@@bradders9743 For Sure
@SmegHead-yz6sc You can have both Easily.
Ask Jeff
I absolutely must thank Kerry and the band for doing what they can to keep metal alive.
Man these guys make great music together! Phil's solo fit perfect! Mark's singing fits so well! Can't wait to see them live!

I'm blown away by how far Mark has come since those early death angel days, incredible performance.
I though the vocalist looked really familiar
@@wesleyhalpern184 Same! I watched his face the whole time, but made zero connection to my 80s memories of those original Death Angel albums!

Great album one of the best metal album's recorded in a long time.
Mark’s vocals……..absolutely bossing it.
Mark is my favorite voice ❤
Raddest singer in thrash history
Death Angel's album "The Ultra-Violence" is one of my favorite's. I got to hang out with Mark on his 21st Birthday back in 1987.
Yeah he's fuckin killing it
Yeah he's fuckin killing it
That breakdown just melted my face
It's nice to see those old beasts on FIRE.
Pravda,pravda
This was brutal, I love it. And Mark Osegueda has never sounded better.
his vocals here are amazing
Brutal😅😅😅😅😅😅 it's a generic slayer ..... Pitiful
I didn't think Kerry could pull off a solo gig, but he's doing it. Gotta tip my cap to him. Well done, Mr. King!
recruiting the right people helps
@@metalhoablewrote most of the music and lyrics. He did a lot to put them in the legendary status they're in

@@metalhoable idc write a better song
This is the closest thing to a ballad that Kerry King will ever write! Gotta say it, dude keeps it heavy. LOVE IT!
Gemini for Slayer was his ballad.
@@ryanherndon2916Gemini, Dead Skin Mask, and 213
There's nothing heavy about this :D
Phil Demmel laying down a killer solo!!
Nice to see Kerry again. His guitar sound destroys. It's a royal thrash metal. This album will surely be mind-blowing!!!🎸⚡💥⚡🎸
It'll be another Slayer album, pretty much xD
I think they will excel in their style in this lineup. I wish the band many great new hits. 💯👍🤘
Phil's solo here is superb
I was digging it as well

Very soulful...proving it doesn't have to be fast to be killa🤟🏻

Phil Demmel is so friggin underrated…you hear nothing about him…he’s a legendary beast!
I saw him filling in with LoG in 2022 and he was PHENOMENAL.
I used to sell his signature guitars. He is a certified badass.
@@akjackson009 no way! That’s awesome!
@@darkFX555 he can play absolutely anything!
I miss him and Dave being in Machine Head but if this makes him happier then all the power to him!
The intro has a World Painted Blood feel to it before going full tilt.
Yep. Full house... 😂
Thought the same. And I LOVE it!
Yes, I felt that too.
More god hates us all i thought
Kerry's got a killer band, the songs are great!
Yes!!! Love seeing Phil jam out with Kerry and Paul
Respect to all metal legends in this video. Thank you.

Only The Strong!
Praise God and heavy metal
After hearing this song there is no need to hear the rest of the album. I’m sure the whole album sounds just like this.
Totally digging this! And Kyle Sanders is perfect here. I'm glad he's continuing on, such a monster he is in his own right.
Insane, Phil Demell is killing it. Kerry King is on top of is game
How can anyone say that in earnest? He's been on autopilot for decades.
@@razmatazz9310 i apologize, I'll won't say that again.
This is killer. The solo and breakdown and goddamn the vocals fit Kerry’s song writing perfectly.
We don't get a sharp straigthforward Metal song in a long time! Very good song! 🗡🗡🗡
As a Slayer fan I see no reason for a reunion other than to see them live again. This is great!
If they were to do a reunion they should get Jeremy Wagner from Broken Hope to play lead,that way It would be Jeff's guitars on stage.

I love the crystal clear, hard hitting, non-echo thump the double bass has. I would love this in a stereo car system.
Mark sounds like a complete savage. Vocals are awesome. Smart move by Kerry in getting him to sing for his record.
Very interesting line-up ! The intro of Paul and the solo of Phil are great !
