Slayer’s Upcoming Music Video Reads Like A Horror Résumé
Alright, let me just rattle these names off for ya: Derek Mears (Friday The 13th, Predators), Tyler Mane (Halloween), Jason Trost (Hatchet III), Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn), Tony Moran (Halloween‘s Michael Myers, American Poltergeist), Sean Whalen (Men In Black, Halloween II), and Vernon Wells (Mad Max 2, Commando, Weird Science). All of those horror and pop culture icons are going to be featured in the upcoming Slayer music video for their track “Repentless”, the title track off their upcoming album.
The video is also being directed by BJ McDonnell (Hatchet III), who was a cameraman on Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man. The video is being produced by Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp).
“Repentless” takes place inside of the Sybil Brand Institute, a woman’s prison in East Los Angeles and features a staged riot. While we haven’t had a chance to see it, word is that the video plays out, “…more like something for a feature film than a rock band’s music video.” Below is a gallery of images from the filming of the video.
The video will be coming out in the near future. Repentless is set to drop on September 11th via Nuclear Blast.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
