Kerry King releases new music video for ‘Residue’

KERRY King has released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Residue, is taken from the former SLAYER guitarist’s upcoming new solo album, From Hell I Rise, which is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Reigning Phoenix Music.

The new music video was co-directed by Jim Louvau and his partner Tony Aguilera, who have made videos for JERRY CANTRELL, SEBASTIAN BACH, EXODUS, and KILLER BE KILLED, the video was shot at their downtown Phoenix studio in early April.

Discussing the new music video, KING says, “I come from a big fire pedigree and my music works with fire. I’ve always written horror-type music, so it made sense to incorporate fire into the first video where you get to see the entire band, which I think is just awesome. I think fire goes hand-in-hand with the devil, and I’m no stranger to talking about the devil…”

Music video co-director Jim Louvau adds, “I knew this would be the first time that the world was going to see the band performing together, so I wanted to create a fast moving visual assault. Pyrotechnics and KERRY KING clearly go hand in hand and seemed to fit like a glove, so Tony and I wanted to create something that felt familiar, but also something new and exciting. I also knew I could get away with certain visuals like a burning pentagram, because it’s important to keep pissing parents off and keeping the spirit of metal alive.”
