Legendary Slayer guitarist Kerry King made a special appearance at Wrestlemania 41 last night (Sunday April 20), playing WWE superstar and proud metalhead Damian Priest to the ring for what ended up being one of the most metal entrances in Wrestlemania history.

King, who plays lead guitar on Priest's theme tune, made a surprise appearance on the entrance ramp at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, just outside Las Vegas. The guitarist shredded his way through the track, titled Rise For The Night, as Priest emerged behind him, the two flanked by pillars of flame and rolling fog as the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion made his way to the ring for a match with Scottish superstar Drew McIntyre.
