Slayer unveil gory video to “Pride in Prejudice”

PanARMENIAN.Net - Slayer have completed the brutal Repentless trilogy with the video to their cut 'Pride In Prejudice'. It features some of today's most iconic horror movie characters (Jason Trost, Danny Trejo) and is as gory as a music video you're ever likely to see, Gigwise said.

It shows a convicted prisoner on death row with an eye patch (Jason Trost) being handed a knife by Nazi's to murder a fellow inmate who is Mexican-American (Danny Trejo). The eye patch rebel inmate takes up the knife and hands back it to the guy he was offered to kill before revengefully murdering all the prison guards - even stamping on the head of one until there's nothing left.

Meanwhile, the Mexican-American character, who was picked out by guards for his skin colour, takes revenge by murdering one of the guards whilst the man is sat with his nuclear family having dinner. This is pretty gruesome stuff with blood flowing everywhere, Gigwise said.

In between these shots, Slayer are performing in a dimly-lit snowy forest in the mountains of Wrightwood, California.

"I'm particularly excited about this third video," said director BJ McDonnell, "because we played with stylistic differences with the trilogy. Where one video plays like an action film, this third one is more of a dramatic piece. The final story takes us into a world that is especially sinister in tone, with the dark and the light colliding. The conclusion is visually cinematic and harsh, with Slayer conducting us through it all with 'Pride In Prejudice.'"

Of the shoot Slayer's Kerry King said: "It was a pleasure working with BJ on this project. Slayer is notorious for letting the artist be the artist, the producer be the producer, and the director be the director, etc. By doing this we get a completely unique perspective that never really strays far from our own. Get ready for video three. It's my favourite!!"

Slayer released their 12th album, Repentless, last year. It's the first without founding member Jeff Hanneman and first with producer Terry Date, to widespread rave reviews and the highest chart debut of the band's career. With three of the tracks given a movie clip and the trilogy over, fans are now hoping they can make the whole album into a film, Gigwise said.
