'My new portrait reflects my desire to, as Slayer sang, Reign In Blood' says Charles

THE King has unveiled a new portrait inspired by Slayer’s 1986 album Reign In Blood, which he says ‘is the guiding light of my rule’.

The portrait, painted by Jonathan Yeo while continually blasting the ten-track thrash metal classic, shows King Charles III almost enveloped in crimson from the burning of civilisation and a rising tide of gore that drowns the world, and smiling.

His Royal Highness said: “I was no more than an impressionable young man of 38 when Slayer released this game-changing set, and it made a lifelong impression.

“From the moment I heard Raining Blood – ‘raining blood from a lacerated sky, bleeding its horror, creating my structure, now I shall reign in blood’ – I knew. That was me. That would be my model for my time on the throne.

“A comment on climate change? Yes, you can believe that if you like. Just know that the hour of reprisal is here and your time slips away. You noticed I was in military uniform? That’s more than just symbolic.

“The skies will soon be red and you’ll recognise this image as prefiguring the end times to come. But look at my avuncular face and know mine is an apocalypse delivered in kindness.”

He added: “I also like Mandatory Suicide. That’s a banger of a track.”
