Style and Influence
Kerry King's first experience with a guitar was when he was a child. Early albums, such as Hell Awaits and Reign in Blood, featured a "wailing style" and "demented soloing often mimicking the screams of the song's victims." Steve Huey of Allmusic described his and Jeff Hannemans guitar solos as "wildly chaotic," and Thom Jurek, also of Allmusic, described his work on 2006's Christ Illusion as "create an intensely harrowing and angular riff that changes from verse to verse, through the refrain and bridge, and comes back again."
