Slayer are known as one of the heaviest bands in metal history, but according to Kerry King, his most “perfect riff” actually came during the recording of his new solo album. Given the legendary history of Slayer, it’s probably somewhat of a surprise that King didn’t pick something from the band’s catalog, but it also shows a conviction in the faith and belief that the guitarist has in the music from his recently issued From Hell I Rise album. So what is Kerry King’s “perfect riff”? Kerry King Picks His Perfect RiffWhile speaking to Metal Hammer Germany, King initially weighed his options befo...

Here are the five heaviest Black Sabbath songs… without Ozzy Osbourne! This is not meant to diminish the Prince of Darkness, merely a means to break from the usual fanfare of those first six legendary Sabbath albums. Sure, Ronnie James Dio gets his due (even if Dehumanizer doesn’t reap as much acclaim as it should), but other Sabbath singers are an afterthought in the minds of most. Why the Tony Martin era in particular (The Eternal Idol, Headless Cross, Tyr, Cross Purposes and Forbidden) seems to get written off entirely is one of metal’s greatest mysteries. Do metal fans really think Tony Io...

The Ocean had their performance in Auckland, New Zealand shut down early by …. a vape pen?! The group, who are notorious for their smoke-filled performances, had actually made a compromise to go without their smoggy effects due to venue policies. But smoke still got them in the end as an audience member’s vaping managed to trigger fire alarms causing a visit from local firefighters and leading to an early ending to their performance. It’s a bit ironic that The Ocean’s performance got tripped up by a vaping audience member as most of their performances are quite smoggy with their production val...

Kerry King admitted that he doesn’t like Slayer‘s 1998 album Diabolus in Musica, or much of their ’90s material at all, for that matter. There was a shift in what types of heavy music were popular when the ’90s came around, especially as nu-metal started taking off later in the decade. During a conversation with Metal Blast, King explained why he’s not a fan of Slayer’s ’90s albums, but especially Diabolus in Musica. “I don’t like the stuff we did in the ’90s,” King asserted, noting that that’s the one era of his career he regrets not paying more attention to. “I was very disenchanted by music...

Ronnie Radke gave a young Falling in Reverse superfan her “dream day” earlier this month at the Sonic Temple Festival in Ohio.

Children born with the condition are called “Butterfly children” because of how delicate their skin is. Falling in Reverse are Lily’s favorite band, so Radke gave her the experience of a lifetime a few weeks ago at Columbus’ Soni...
