Following his recent tour with Lamb Of God and Mastodon and his first European headline tour earlier this year, Kerry Kingand his new band – drummerPaul Bostaph (Slayer), bassist Kyle Sanders (HELLYEAH), guitarist Phil Demmel (Machine Head), and vocalist Mark Osegueda (Death Angel) will head to Australia in December as part of the 2024 Good Things Festival to celebrate the occasion King has released a brand new music video for the album track, ‘Where I Reign.’
Shot in black and white, the “Where I Reign” video was directed by Jim Louvau who also directed King’s videos for the album cuts “Residue” and “Toxic.” Said Louvau, “I wanted to capture the fury and the energy of the band in a live setting,” said Louvau, “an intensity that is matched from a visual standpoint that matches the intensity of the song and the energy that the band brings each and every night on tour, and I think we were able to do that. There are some still photos in the video that also show motion and energy, and I was really just trying to bring that energy to life in a live setting that is different from the other two videos that were done in the studio and were a little more in a controlled environment. So this video was definitely the guys’ being themselves and just showcasing what the band provides in a live setting.”

“Kerry King’s intricate guitar work and commanding stage presence once again reaffirmed his status as a metal legend.” – South Florida Insider 7/26/24
“Getting back on the road for the first time in five years wasn’t exactly like riding a bike, that’s for sure,” King acknowledged. “I’ve never had that much time off, but the first tours with my new band – in the UK and Europe, and then in America with Lamb of God and Mastodon – were all total blasts. We’ll be headlining on this next tour, so we’re playing a longer set than we did with Lamb of God and Mastodon. We’ve got a little bit of a learning curve, so will start rehearsing the first week of November. And we might put an extra Slayer song into the set and learn a cover song or two.”
“From the second King stepped out on stage, the crowd went absolutely wild and never let up the entire set.” – Loud Haller, Richmond, VA 7/31/24
