Kerry King, guitarist of thrash metal veterans Slayer, has announced his second solo album, “The End Of All Gods”, for February 12, 2027 via Reigning Phoenix Music. Its first single, “My War”, is scheduled for November 17, with a short teaser already released.
The record follows King’s 2024 solo debut, “From Hell I Rise”. Speaking on the 100 Songs That Define Heavy Metal podcast, hosted by Metal Blade Records founder Brian Slagel, King described the upcoming album as a continuation of his first solo effort. Producer Josh Wilbur is once again involved.
King said he was especially pleased with the new record’s introduction and expected longtime fans to respond positively to the material. He also explained that work was progressing on the songs and lyrics, although his comments in the podcast were made before the newly announced release schedule.
His solo band features Death Angel vocalist Mark Osegueda, former Machine Head guitarist Phil Demmel, bassist Kyle Sanders of Hellyeah and Slayer drummer Paul Bostaph.
King has previously said he intends to retain the aggressive musical direction established on “From Hell I Rise”, rather than make a drastic stylistic departure. Further information about the album’s track listing has not yet been detailed in the announcement.
