I see that IOMMI thing as an album... like a "project".

Re: King Diamond is a band. Is Kerry King a band?
The responsible thing to do is to make sure you're clearly a guy with a backing band: Neil Young/Crazy Horse, Tom Petty/Heartbreakers, Elvis Costello/Attractions, etc. If you're using a stage name there might be some wiggle room but I'm less forgiving if it's the whole-ass stage name (e.g., the band is Dio and not Ronnie James Dio)

Re: King Diamond is a band. Is Kerry King a band?
yeah there are almost no bands where the name of the band is just the first/last on your birth certificate. this sets kerry king apart from Dio, Danzig, King Diamond, etc
I'm gradually accepting that kerry king is not a band, and never will be
BUT if 10 years later he's using that same logo of his name... that's something

Re: King Diamond is a band. Is Kerry King a band?
Pretty sure he’s just going with it and there won’t be a creative or flashy band name for future releases or tours. Why was he throwing picks out into the crowd on the final Slayer tour that had ‘Reborn’ printed on them? Was that what he was going to call his new band but found out later that it was already taken?

10 years later, he’s gonna be creeping up on 70 years old. If he’s not doing unplugged acoustic versions of Spill The Blood and Seasons In The Abyss in hipster dive bars then I’ll be a bit bummedNecrometer wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 7:29 pm BUT if 10 years later he's using that same logo of his name... that's something

Re: King Diamond is a band. Is Kerry King a band?
When I was a kid in Switzerland and nobody spoke English, a lot of us thought Judas Priest and Iron Maiden were the names of people because it's two words and we didn't know what they meant, so it had to be a person's name. That's what I got.

Re: King Diamond is a band. Is Kerry King a band?
They were one that I figured would stay gone. Inflation must have quickly eaten up Tom‘s retirement fund. Kind of sad that they make this announcement before KK‘s solo thing even played one show

What is the payday for a headliner who is EXCLUSIVE! First show in X years! at Riot Fest? Wasn’t (Original) Misfits first show at Riot Fest?

Re: King Diamond is a band. Is Kerry King a band?
The buzz around Kerry King's solo crap was non Existent so it stands to reason that Slayer would come back.
New album in 2025 and the only way it will be good is if Gary Holt writes the whole thing.

I came here to argue with you... "It's only been like 2-3." Then I looked it up. Their last show was in Nov. 30, 2019. Now I'm very confused as to how 2019 has become 5 years agoEight Bit Alien wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 1:35 pm Well. They were broken up for what? 5 years?

Tom should place a blank sheet of tablature on a Ouija board and hold a seance with Hanneman to write the next album. Maybe even patch in Himmler and Goebbels for some soloskevin hash wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 10:11 pm The buzz around Kerry King's solo crap was non Existent so it stands to reason that Slayer would come back.

Re: King Diamond is a band. Is Kerry King a band?
I changed my vote
kerry king is not a band
there was a chance, but this reunion squashed it
it also clicked that there are zero (metal) bands with the name of the band being the full, birth-certificate name of one of the main members
