"From Hell I Rise" by Kerry King (MOST BORING METAL ALBUM OF 2024?) | ALBUM REVIEW 

The irony of Thrashin' Jackson calling you a "gay liberal" while wearing a Judas Priest patch on his vest. Does he know?

I like the obligatory interruption of someone yelling SLAYER!!!

Another drinking game incoming! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a sneaking suspicion that a fanboy drinking episode is prolly gonna be on the horizon possibly

Can’t wait for the comments

Kerry might be the archetypal metal meat head but I am enjoying his album

Congratulations to Kerry King's From Hell I Rise thrash metal album.

You should do more characters like this in future videos for different bands. It’ll be hilarious 😂

Thrashin Jackson is badass, him and Jerry Mander should party together

This comment section is surprisingly tame. I think more Slayer haters than Slayer fans showed up ool

Oh god is Thrashin' Jack a new character in the Meltdownverse?

The comment about the relative merits of King and Hanneman as songwriters doesn't quite stand up. Whilst Hanneman did write more of Slayer's err... 'hits', he also wrote most of Diabolus in Musica, which is a truly terrible album, whereas King wrote most of Divine Intervention, which is an absolute masterpiece and hugely underrated.

Thrashin’ Jaxon… We need your own multiverse of characters, this is cool Also the album I thought was like a 5/10 Keep up the great work

We need a video with Thrashin Jackson and Gerry Mander together. Imagine them talking about/reacting to metalcore and deathcore 😂😅

I vividly remember what it was like being a 14 year old metalhead on RU-vid in 2009 with those REAL METAL VS. POSER METAL videos and I'll never forget this one clown by the name of FUCKPOSERMETALHEADS666 who had a whole channel dedicated to metal elitism. He had a giant list of bands, (Pantera was even on that list for no other reason than they started out as a glam band) and he said at the bottom and quote "If you like any of these bands, you do not support metal. No ifs ands or buts." I can't tell you how refreshing it is that that mindset died out.

Props for the M.O.D. Cameo!

Guess what Slayer are going to have a reunion because Kerry King knows his solo project ain't selling! 🤣

Oh no… anyway Also if you see this during your drinking game, drink some water. Gotta balance out your stomach contents.

We need a Thrashin’ Jackson and Gerry Mander collab. It’s a match made in ‘Murica

You mean to tell me that a solo album from the least talented member of a band that hasn’t made anything noteworthy in over 30 years is bad? Noooooooooo wayyyyyyyyyy

I don't always agree with everything you say here BUT I definitely respect the hell out of it and the fact you make it so damned entertaining. Dig your channel man, keep the vids and (your) opinions coming \m/

...I wonder how reviews from Thrashing Jackson being interrupted by you could be...

“Mom, can we have Slayer?” “We have Slayer at home” Slayer at home…

Thrashin Jackson is like the stereotype of every thrash metal fan ever!😅 Love the review! I will be listening to the album more for the guy from Death Angel’s vocals than anything Kerry King is doing guitar riff-wise.

Ever noticed Kerry King and Chris Barnes have never stood in the same room together?

Why does Thrashin’ Jackson sound like, well… Jackson from Hannah Montana 😂😂

Metal Meltdown is reaching a new peak with these skits. Keep it up!! ❤🎉

I actually really like The Slayer album “repentless” I like the Drop B tuning they use on some of the songs but I couldn’t care about Kerry Kings solo stuff so I won’t even bother listening to it, the title “from hell I rise” is corny af😂

This video is more exciting than the album was! 🤘🏻

First and foremost, just as everyone has said, Thrashin’ Jackson has to be a new Metal Meltdown character / surrogate for gatekeeping “real” metalheads, but secondly, I’m torn when it comes to albums like these. I love artistic growth, and a lot of my favorite bands and artists have shifted over time, but at the same time, sometimes I want some straightforward style riffs and solos that may be nothing to write home about, just as long as it’s performed well and still exciting. This may not fall into that camp, but based on the couple songs that have come out, I’m a sucker for 80s-styled thrash, so this could be fun. I’m still disappointed to hear that Kerry doesn’t want to try anythjng new or unique, though, but he is 60, so it’s not shocking.

Why do fanboys turn into 13 year olds when someone has criticism for their favorite metal bands or albums also SLAYERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

You know I got the same perception about Mr. King's 'new stuff' so I went out to checkout some other interesting stuff out there.

How is everyone listening to the new album already?

The 2 singles are pretty rockin’ Looking forward to the full album tomorrow 🤟🏼 long live The KING ♥️

A friend of mine put it very succinctly : This album is like watching a fire roaring in a fireplace... from a admittedly large TV screen... as opposed to actually sitting in front of a REAL raging fireplace !

Kerry's birthday isn't till June 3! Also, WHO LET CAL FROM ANTHONY FANTANO IN THERE?

I personally like the album but kudos to you for you acting!It was hilarious!😂😂

Did I forget to mention that the album cover is Ai art but lazily used

Also the new Slash album is out tomorrow too.

This was a very funny and interesting review, if theirs a drinking game for this one (knowing some metal fans there probably will be, best of luck)

Shit. Sorry for the repeats, man. I live in Tallahassee, FL, and we just got three simultaneous tornadoes. All our phones are still acting up.

Honestly, I'm not surprised by this. After listening to the two singles that King dropped, I wasn't the least bit impressed, and have no intention of picking this up. C'est la vie 🤷‍♂️

I just wish Thrashin' Jackson would have made fun of your Zeppelin shirt

Ayyyyyyyy so Thrashin Jackson I Have a few Questions for you. Do you know who Jerry Mander is? If so are you two friends? And do you think King Diamond should headline every tour on Earth?

Your split personality sketch here is perfect! This is how this whole album and what Kerry King is doing is doing to my head... I'm truly schizo about this album. A part of me LOVES it! A part of me is SCREAMING for variation and some semblance of ingenuity. The line-up is freaking perfect! Mark rips on vocals! The riffs and solos are INSANE! However where is the Postmortem going into Raining Blood? Where is the Altar of Sacrifice going into Jesus Saves? Where are these moments? I've never been a fan of modern Slayer, just like I've never been a fan of modern (since 1989 is modern? lol!) AC/DC, either. Where is the insane new ingenuity that while still heavy, blows your mind? It rips it roars, but if you've heard it a thousand times where is the bite? We definitely need another drinking game on this one, bro! Perfect excuse to get blasted in my opinion!

Is the cover demon related to Uriah Heep's "Abominog" ?

Intro was awesome and factual lol

Lmao great video. Thrashin' Jackson is a new persona...? First time I see him but I wouldn't mind him making some more appearances lol. I was never really a Slayer fan so I think I'll pass on this album after I listen to it once. Thank God for music streaming services so that I don't actually have to feel disappointed after dropping 20 bucks on an album.

Kerry King looks like a thumb.

Kyle Sanders is actually a super solid bassist. I love his work in Medication. Idle Hands was probably my favorite track off this album

Hahahaha loved Thrashin' Jackson, haven't heard the album yet but not expecting much since it's Kerry (Even if I liked the first single).

Thrashin’ Jackson is who I want to be, but I’m too old now and don’t want to be cancelled.

This album would have been fine in 1994…an absolute massacre to the grunge world. To be blunt, and this says its all. I’m a genuine metal head. First concert was Mercyful Fate 95. I’d rather wait another 17 years for new King Diamond than listen to Kerry Kings effort all the way through. Nice review!

This whole album is STOCK! I'm glad Slayer called it quits so they didn't have to put this music out.

pathology and jasta reviews?

Dude excellent review 🤘🏻

Here s the thing. We love it !

But the more important question is this: is it worse than the new Six Feet Under album?

How’d you make a review more interesting than its source material? Bravo.

"Thrashin Jackson"! LOL I love it! Yeah the album is okay, not great, but it's fine. It's amazing that Mark can seem to pull off a reasonable facsimile of Tom Arraya, especially on the title track and final song of the album. I'd give it a 2.5, maybe a solid 3. I do like some of the songs, but the entre thing does feel bloated just to be bloated.

You’re the only music reviewer that successfully cracks me up in your videos, love the content. The pace could be a bit higher though

Real acting chops in this one! Kudos!

Me sitting here not knowing who Kerry King is while i listen to Creed while in my Thy Art is Murder hat :)

Agreed on all points but the most impressive part of the video is The Unibroue in the background...

Thrashen JAckson kill me!! lmafo!! great video as always!

From the ashes of Jerry Mander, comes Thrashin’ Jackson… he better be here to stay lmao

Slayer is not for everyone. This guy is entitled to his opinion.

I sense a drinking game coming (which I love)! Throw this in there... how many K's can you count on that cover...? At least 3. Hence the typical fans. lol Oh shit I might have to join you for that drinking game ha ha ha!

Watching this video at 8 A.M.

Yeah I’ve been looking forward to hearing the new Slayer record too 😏

These just keep getting better!

I like this thrashin' Jackson fella.😅

0:04-I thought Mad Mike had returned!

Thrashin’ Jackson and Cal Chuchesta should make out.

Very on Point review, couldn't agree more. Mark's an insane vocalist, I hope this band won't get in the way of Death Angel. Would be fun to see Thrashing Jackson again though!

Excellent review! I agree 100% with your assessment

Not heard the full album yet, but this review doesn't surprise me, unfortunately!

Well... He got some excellent members. He could have used their talents and skills to create something different and more dynamic rather than rehashed modern Slayer stuff. This album is just okay. Not a bad one, just don't expect it to be great. 5.5/10.

If you see this double shots if some Slayer fan calls you an elitist or poser, if that's okay.

It was alright. I knew what I was getting from it Some songs like Diablo / Where I Reign were pretty sick but yeah some parts were a bit lacking The vocals are the best part for sure.

What's an Owl bun, theater kid?

Lol! Do more characters and let them do their own reviews out of 5. Like Thrashin' Jackson here would give a 5/5 review. 😂

I agree that the best Slayer stuff was Jeff's. But you mentioned that worst Slayer albums were penned by King and just wanted to mention that Diabolus in Musica was largely Jeff's. I like most of that album but consensus seems to be it's not that great.

01:30 Love that facial reaction.

every song on this album feels like the transition into the good part is getting edged. then you slowly realize that you’re getting full on climax denial’d

Who is that Jackson guy? He definitely has points.

I said it before and I'll say it AGAIN when people say you should keep politics out of music YET THEY BRING POLITICS INTO A REVIEW FROM A NON POLITICALLY CHARGED SUPERGROUP also I am going to skip this album and listen to better music also SLAYYYYYYERRRRRRR

I love Slaaaayeeeerrr, I grew up with them, but you're so right about all you've said, man. Cheers! 🍻

I had a feeling you wouldn't like it but not everyone will. Shrapnel is the only song that's close to being boring in my opinion. Nothing groundbreaking but it's a solid record. Your Thrashin Jaxon character is hilarious. Stereotypical but hilarious. Lol

I wonder, would you listen to Litourgiya (if your interested) by Batushka. They are a black metal band that originated from Poland and are inspired by the Eastern Orthodox Church, but have sadly disbanded for being labeled as ' a satanic group.' Btw, I love your videos and your style of humor. :)

This is really funny 😂. And im like bruh strong weed gummies that are legal to buy now and im like what took so long for that to happen😅

Brilliant review/video 😂😂😂

Dude you went far on that one, and i loved it!!! Love your humor keep it always 😊 i just hope you did not want kerry on the show...cause he will give you the middle finger haha 😅

Thrashin Jackson starring Yarl Weathers. Silly goose. Came for the review, stayed for the review, hate the record, love the review.

and now we wait

Pretty awesome album. Dude just doesn’t like slayer style thrash or what? It’s exactly what one should expect and has a consistent tone and feel. Pretty pleased with the new album for sure. I’m not sure what the complaints would be aside from being contrarian or just not your taste. It definitely feels like a much better version of Repentless

This cap is incredible !! I......agree with the review. ( i'm listening Slayer for about 35 years )

Bravo Bro!!! Fuckin hilarious. I’m in no hurry to be listening to this tbh.

It's OK if you want to hear some more of that basic watered down slayer sound. Good for a single gleam over.

Just wanna say.... I loved this intro and was dying over it
