Jeris Johnson (Ex-Audiophobia) & ZillaKami (City Morgue) Share Video For Remake Of Slayer’s “Raining Blood”

Jeris Johnson (ex-Audiophobia) and ZillaKami (City Morgue) have shared a new video for their remake of Slayer’s “Raining Blood.” You can check that out below. Johnson commented:

“‘Raining Blood‘ is a song I made exclusively to piss off old rock fans. Also, ‘cause it was my fav song on Guitar Hero 3. I was just in the mood to make some loud ass mosh pit type shit and what better to sample than one of the best guitar riffs of all time. I wanna light the room on fire every time I play live, and this is the track that’s gonna do it. I asked ZillaKami to hop on and lend his energy to it and I’m very thankful he did because he fucking crushed it. Make it rain blood.”
