In a recent interview with Consequence, guitarist Kerry King discussed the upcoming new album of his solo project, album which the guitarist mentioned was produced by Josh Wilbur (who also worked with Megadeth, Korn, Lamb Of God, Gojira, and Trivium):
“It’s my first time working with (Josh), and we hit it off great. Can’t wait to work on another one with him, and he feels the same way about the project, so hopefully that gets going sooner rather than later. Super easy to work with.
”The guy is a wizard on the computer. I mean when we’re in there editing stuff or overdubbing anything, I’ll do my part, or the singer or whoever is doing their fix or whatever, and he’ll just go back and forth on the computer a few times, go ‘Here, how’s that?’ I’m thinking, ‘I have no f*cking idea where you are dude. He’s so quick, so easy to work with. It was spectacular.”
About the musical direction on his upcoming album, the guitarist said:
Regarding the recording approach for his new album. It was very similar (to the way we worked in Slayer). First and foremost, I wrote most of the last Slayer record, so people know what I sound like, people know how I write.
”This one I did one hundred percent of, so if you’ve ever liked anything I’ve done in the past, there’s going to be something you’re going to like on this one, if not the whole thing. I love the whole thing.”
Elaborating on the new project’s musical direction, Kerry said: “My sound is what we’ve done on the last, I couldn’t tell you how many SLAYER records. And one thing I feel is that Josh really captured probably the closest to my live sound, because my live sound is very hard to get to tape. I think this is the closest it’s ever been. So that’s very exciting for me. And the rest of it, Paul‘s [Bostaph, drums] playing, so hell yeah, it’s going to sound like SLAYER because he’s got his own style. You know, screamy vocals — new guy — but you know, it’s still definitely got the vibe.”
