Kerry King says his late Slayer bandmate Jeff Hanneman would have approved of his new solo album, From Hell I Rise.

Speaking in the brand new issue of Classic Rock, King says: “I did think of that when I was doing this record. And I thought to myself, ‘Jeff would fucking love this album – there’s plenty of anti-religious stuff on there, there’s plenty of war stuff, there’s plenty of hate.’ He would have dug it.”
