Rolling Stone simply printed their The 100 Greatest Albums Of 2024 record and it is obtained one metallic album on it. Rolling Stone ignored 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 choose, 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 Okay.G.‘s evaluation that King‘s album sounds “at occasions, 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 Okay.G. “However the place Dr. Dre wished 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 desires his followers to know that though Slayer are basically hell certain, he is nonetheless Devil’s preeminent ambassador. On From Hell I Rise, King remains to be drinkin’ his tequila, nonetheless fucking with riffs, and nonetheless not lovin’ the clergymen. In different phrases, it appears like Slayer — and at occasions, Slayer at their greatest.”
Anyway, take a look at the entire record right here. Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter took the No. 1 spot.
