Slayer's Kerry King drops major tease that we may finally be seeing his new band soon

Former Slayer guitarist Kerry King has dropped the biggest hint yet that his highly anticipated new project is finally close to being officially revealed. The metal icon has seemingly registered his own solo social media pages, uploading a photo to Instagram that depicts the trademark chain he usually wears on stage, in a pile on the floor, in front of what looks like a guitar amp. The photo is captioned with the simple statement: "Coming in 2024."

Slayer played their final ever show together at the Forum in Inglewood, California on November 30, 2019 after a lengthy farewell tour. King has been vocal about his disappointment at the band's near-40 year run coming to an end, stating in a video in 2021: "We quit too early. Fuck us. Fuck me. I hate fucking not playing."
