The guitarist has announced his new band is almost ready to launch, teaming up again with Slayer drummer Paul Bostaph for the new venture.

In a new interview discussing the project, he told Metal Hammer, "You know me, so you know what it’s going to sound like." “I played this new song for a buddy, and I said to him, 'If there’s anything I’ve written in the last few years that sounds like Slayer, it’s this.’

“And he said, 'That sounds like you could have pulled it off of any Slayer record.’”

King went on to say he had delayed launching the project due to the pandemic, initially planning on launching it in early 2020. But that thing called the pandemic messed everything up for everyone.

“You know, I waited on that, because it had to run its course." I didn’t want to be the guinea pig. I didn’t want to learn how to tour again. I already did my dues; I don’t want to have to prove myself again. "

He added: “Have I been dragging my feet? Yeah, because I wanted this [pandemic] shit to get sorted. I won’t be dragging my feet much longer. "
