Rolling Stone simply revealed their The 100 Greatest Albums Of 2024 checklist and it is bought one metallic album on it. Rolling Stone ignored 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 decide, and went straight for Kerry King‘s debut solo album From Hell I Rise. Which actually wasn’t dangerous, however I imply… no different metallic albums, huh? Additionally, I am unsure I agree with Rolling Stone writer Ok.G.‘s evaluation that King‘s album sounds “at occasions, Slayer at their greatest.”
“The primary solo album from former Slayer guitarist Kerry King is principally the ‘Nonetheless D.R.E.’ of thrash metallic,” 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 needs his followers to grasp that though Slayer are basically hell sure, 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 occasions, Slayer at their greatest.”
Anyway, take a look at the entire checklist right here. Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter took the No. 1 spot.
