King and MUNICIPAL WASTE guitarist Ryan Waste had a chat with Heavy Consequence’s “Two For The Road” … talikng about the upcoming tour Kerry said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “We jump at the chance to tour anywhere. So, we were lucky enough to do the MASTODON/LAMB OF GOD summer [2024] run in the sheds. That was really cool because those dudes, we had a big part in both those bands’ early history, so for them to reciprocate and give me a shot, I thought that was super cool and super humbling. So that was rad. But now we get to come back and headline the States.”
king has been living in Manhattan for the past three years … and his guitarist Phil Demmel, drummer Paul Bostaph and vocalist Mark Osegueda — live in the San Francisco Bay Area, King said about this: “We haven’t played in New York City yet. And that’s my new hometown, so that’s weird. We haven’t played the Bay Area yet. So we’re gonna be hitting some places for the first time in this band, which is gonna be awesome for the hometowners like Phil, Paul and Mark from the Bay area and me from New York City. And then all the places I’ve called home — L.A., we’re playing L.A. We finish up in [Las] Vegas. So I will be seeing a lot of friends on this run, and everybody’s fired up.”
what songs will King choose on a headlining tour, Kerry said: “[I’m] still working on the setlist and set length because I don’t want people to get burned out with two heavy hitters playing in front of us. I don’t wanna stay up there too long because when you play thrash, I feel there is a limit to how long you should play.”
