SLAYER Guitarist KERRY KING To Relaunch Clothing Line

July 23, 2007

SLAYER guitarist Kerry King recently spoke to Hails & Horns magazine about the status of his KFK Industries clothing line which he launched in 2003.

"It's been down for almost a year," Kerry said. "I've moved twice in, like, 15 months so I'm getting all settled in my new place. I'm getting as much SLAYER touring out of the way, then I'm going to relaunch it with a new name and new product. It's still KFK [which stands for 'Kerry Fucking King' — Ed.], but it's going to be "Ministries" instead of "Industries." There are companies where I live called "Industries," but I'm, like, "Nobody has 'Ministries,'' so we went with that one. When we re-launch, it will be KFKIndustries.com. We already got a domain name and all that. It's just waiting for me to have time to relaunch it correctly."

Regarding what he will be selling through the new company, Kerry said, "We got a lot of cool t-shirt designs, stickers and got a cool skullcap made. Hopefully I'll have the first 50 armbands I've been making. I've got some work cut out for me."

SLAYER singer/bassist Tom Araya recently told Gary Graff of Billboard.com that in addition to the recently released new version of "Christ Illusion", Sony BMG's Legacy imprint will be re-releasing SLAYER's catalog, although no release dates or information about bonus material have been determined.

SLAYER is gearing up for its tour with MARILYN MANSON, which begins July 25 in West Palm Beach, Fla. Araya told Billboard.com the group is "going for an all-brutal set" that will feature songs SLAYER hasn't played in awhile, including "Bitter Peace" and "Ghosts of War". "We've been playing mostly the standards on this trip," Araya said, "so we kind of dug a little deeper and added a couple more to make it a little heavier."
