Rolling Stone simply revealed their The 100 Finest Albums Of 2024 listing and it is received one steel album on it. Rolling Stone missed some underground-ish killers like Blood Incantation‘s Absolute Elsewhere and Chat Pile‘s Cool World, skipped proper over Judas Priest‘s Invincible Protect for a extra mainstream choose, and went straight for Kerry King‘s debut solo album From Hell I Rise. Which actually wasn’t dangerous, however I imply… no different steel albums, huh? Additionally, I am unsure I agree with Rolling Stone creator Ok.G.‘s evaluation that King‘s album sounds “at instances, Slayer at their finest.”
“The primary solo album from former Slayer guitarist Kerry King is principally the ‘Nonetheless D.R.E.’ of thrash steel,” wrote Ok.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 although Slayer are basically hell certain, he is nonetheless Devil’s preeminent ambassador. On From Hell I Rise, King continues to be drinkin’ his tequila, nonetheless fucking with riffs, and nonetheless not lovin’ the clergymen. In different phrases, it feels like Slayer — and at instances, Slayer at their finest.”
Anyway, take a look at the entire listing right here. Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter took the No. 1 spot.
