Download Festival 2024 – Sunday – Kerry King. Working my way through the splodge-fest, I could only hear one sound in the blissfully unaware-of-anything-but-Download distance. Kerry King. 
If there were just two words to describe the American musician and the band who bring his compositions to life, it would be these: phenomenally fearsome.
The Slayer co-founder is a wonder of hulking riffs and outstanding songwriting that is brought to life in such an exceptional way.
Vocalist Mark Osegueda could shatter Metal-fused glass with his vocals, completely dominating the Apex stage and those who dare to stand before it. 
It is unapologetically heavy with such a thrust behind Kerry that kicks their set into another Metal-realm dimension. Having released his debut solo album, From Hell, I Rise, earlier this year, we get a whole load from the record in the setlist, which is received with nothing but horn-held love.
Astronomical in size, this kind of music was born to be on the largest rock-Metal stage this country has to offer.
If you haven’t checked out the album, then do.
