SLAYER have returned with a violent and visceral new video that prequels their hugely popular, gore-filled ‘Repentless’ clip that has to date, racked up over 7.5 million views on YouTube.
In ‘You Against You,’ vocalist Tom Araya screams; “Your perfect world is ending this day, So what? I wouldn’t have it any other way.” And so, from the very first frame of the band’s ‘You Against You’ video, the gore, the violence, the projectile-blood-spewing and carnage begins…and just never ends. Check out the video here (NSFW):
As with ‘Repentless,’ which was shot in an LA prison, ‘You Against You’ was directed by BJ McDonnell, stars Jason Trost (Hatchet III) as the eye-patched rebel inmate, Wyatt, and tells the story of the circumstances that led to Wyatt’s erroneous arrest and imprisonment featured in ‘Repentless’. *SLAYER* frontman Tom Araya comments “After the ‘Repentless’ video, BJ delivers again with ‘You Against You.’ Fucking awesome!!!!”
*SLAYER*’s performance of ‘You Against You’ was shot in California’s Mojave desert earlier this year in a graveyard of jets, airliners, and helicopters.
‘Repentless’, *SLAYER*’s 12th studio album, was released on 9/11/2015 and made numerous career-high official album chart debuts, both in the UK (#11). USA (#4) and across the world, for new record label, Nuclear Blast. In addition, ‘Repentless’ received spectacular press response – “Metal Album of the Year” (Guitar World), “…prime fucking Slayer…” (Metal Hammer), “…thrash redefined, upgraded and reborn, a return to the essence of who Slayer is.” (Houston Press)
