Thrash metal titans Slayer have never been known to go light on their aesthetic. They’re an “in-your-face, don’t fuck with us” kinda band and that’s what has made them so successful and notorious over the years. And today, with the release of “You Against You”, their newest music video, the band is showing that they’re still all about violence and havoc.

Directed by BJ McDonnell, the video takes place one week before the prison riots seen in the “Repentless” video (also directed by McDonnell). Jason Trost (Hatchet III) reprises his role as the eyepatched rebel inmate, and the video, “…tells the story of the circumstances that led to Wyatt’s erroneous arrest and imprisonment.”

When it comes to gore, this video does not skimp one tiny bit. The whole video is basically one gigantic shootout sequence and there’s enough blood and viscera to satisfy even the most bloodthirsty of gore hounds! But don’t take my word for it. Watch the video above (courtesy of Rolling Stone) and revel in the explosion of carnage!

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
