Slayer To Release “The Repentless Killogy” Motion Picture And LP/CD In November

Posted by caemanamelio on

Slayer have announced that they will be releasing a new motion picture, titled “The Repentless Killogy,” on November 8. You can find a trailer for that below. The effort will be released alongside a live companion LP/CD, titled “The Repentless Killogy (Live at the Forum in Inglewood, CA),” which was recorded during the band’s August 5, 2017 show at The Forum in Inglewood, CA.

A press release offered more info:

Revenge, murder, bloodshed and retribution. The “Repentless Killogy” film was written and directed by BJ McDonnell, who conceived and directed the three brutal music videos – “You Against You,” “Repentless,” and “Pride in Prejudice”- for Slayer’s final studio album Repentless (2015).

“When we set out to do these initial three videos,” said McDonnell, “we had the intention of continuing the next adventures of Slayer and Wyatt on a following album. But, Slayer announced that ‘Repentless’ was the final album and tour, so this story, the videos, and finally a full live concert at the end is a perfect wrap up of the ‘Repentless’ final tour. This is the finale of Slayer. This is the end of the monsters.”

The “Repentless Trilogy” motion picture opens with the three music videos assembled as one chronological storyline and introduces the narrative’s main character, Wyatt, a former Neo Nazi associated with a gang known as “The Hand Brotherhood,” whose signature mark was a bloody handprint left after a murder had taken place. Prior to the first music video, Wyatt had left the gang after he fell in love with Gina. The two had gone into hiding to escape his grisly past and start a family, but The Hand Brotherhood was not going to allow that to happen, and Gina, pregnant with their first child, was savagely murdered as Wyatt was forced to look on. The film then segues into the present-time narrative that sees Wyatt on the run from law enforcement and the Nazi gang, but now dedicated to eliminating The Hand Brotherhood and seeking retribution wherever he can.

“The Repentless Killogy” stars many of the actors who appeared in the original video series: Jason Trost (“Beats of Rage,” “Hatchet III”) as Wyatt, Danny Trejo (“Machete,” “From Dusk Til Dawn”), Richard Speight, Jr. (“Band of Brothers,” “Supernatural”), Derek Mears (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”), Jessica Pimentel (“Orange Is The New Black”), Tyler Mane (“X-Men,” “Halloween !!”), Bill Moseley (“The Devil’s Rejects,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2”), Caroline Williams (“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2,” “Sharknado 4”), and Sean Whalen (“Twister,” “The People Under The Stairs”).

Part two of “The Repentless Killogy” features Slayer’s entire live set performed at the Los Angeles Forum on August 5, 2017, and was directed by Wayne Isham who has directed videos for artists including Metallica, Foo Fighters, Michael Jackson, Kelly Clarkson, and Britney Spears. Presented in front of one of the most striking stage productions of the band’s career, Slayer performs fan-favorites including “South of Heaven,” “War Ensemble,” “Mandatory Suicide,” “Dead Skin Mask,” “Raining Blood,” and “Angel of Death.”

Slayer’s Sponsorship Pulled From NASCAR Race

Posted by caemanamelio on

Slayer and Nuclear Blast Records previously teamed up with Rick Ware Racing to sponsor their own band branded NASCAR car, but the sponsorship has now been pulled due “reactionary concerns from other long-time participating sponsors.” The band’s logos will now be replaced by PODS Moving & Storage. JJ Yeley was originally planning to drive the Slayer branded car during tomorrow’s (August 17) “Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race” at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, TN.

Slayer and Nuclear Blast Records have teamed up with Rick Ware Racing to sponsor their own band branded NASCAR car. JJ Yeley will be driving the car during the “Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race” at the Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, TN on August 17.

Tom Araya commented:

“It’s exciting and awesome that Rick and the boys are wearing the Slayer banner making us a part of NASCAR history!”

Kerry King added:

“NASCAR racing and Slayer have a lot in common. Both are extremely fast, intense and aggressive. I can think of nothing more rad than seeing the Slayer logo on Rick’s car with JJ behind the wheel. I’m sure Disciples of everyone involved will be completely stoked on the bond between these two fierce entities!”

This news comes after Megadeth previously got their own branded car.

Fan Who Tried To Swim Back To The Venue After Getting Kicked Out Of Slayer’s Toronto Show Gets Immortalized On A Beer Can

Posted by caemanamelio on

As you may recall, a fan tried to swim back to Toronto’s Budweiser Stage after being kicked out of Slayer, Lamb Of God, Anthrax, Behemoth, and Testament’s show at the venue last year. Now, the man has apparently been immortalized on a new commemorative beer can. You can see photos of that below. The can was created to celebrate the venue’s 25th anniversary.
