The mighty king’s of thrash metal, Slayer have dropped their new album, Repentless today and in conjunction have also released a video for the title track. “Repentless” takes place in a prison and features many luminaries of the horror genre including Danny Trejo, Derek Mears (Friday The 13th), Tyler Mane (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), Jason Trost (Hatchet III), Sean Whalen (The People Under the Stairs) and more. The video was produced by Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp) and directed by BJ McDonnell (Hatchet III).

According to director BJ McDonnell:
“We had a burning building and barbed wire and Slayer. It was killer,” McDonnell said. “We love horror movies and we played for that and made it really gnarly and violent.”
“I’m probably the most excited I’ve been for a video that we’ve ever done,” added guitarist Kerry King.
The video is full of blood and gore that fans will truly love.
Repentless is Slayer’s first album in six years and features Exodus’ Gary Holt on guitar since the death of guitarist Jeff Hanneman last year and reintroduces drummer Paul Bostaph back to the band. He played drums in Slayer on four previous albums.
