According to loudwire.com, Slayer‘s final show took place November  30, 2019 and since then guitarist Kerry King has been quiet about continuing to make music. But now, it appears that King has given a first hint that he is about to return with new music.

Publicist Heidi Ellen Robinson and King both shared a photo teaser on their socials. It captions reads “Coming in 2024 …” with King’s familiar chains laying on a grey carpeted surface. At the end of Slayer’s final show, King  removed his chain and let it fall to the concert stage floor.

During an interview, King explained that “One of the reasons I did the chain drop at the last show was so everybody in the building could hear it. And it wasn’t something I planned. We were doing the last run, and I said, ‘I wanna do this on the last Forum show so people take it more seriously.'”

The guitarist adds: Like, ‘King took off his chains.’ He left them on the stage. What the fuck, man?’ So people hopefully got that. This isn’t one of those, ‘We’re gonna be back next year and do it again.’ The chains took me through Slayer. I took them off, dropped them onstage, and I walked off, and that’s the end of Slayer for me.”

When 2024 is finally upon us it will be interesting to see if King does drop an album because there are several fans who have been waiting for the artist to jolt their minds with face smacking music.
