A convicted prisoner on death row. A cookie-cutter, white-bread family putting up Christmas decorations. Two worlds, lightness and darkness colliding. White supremacists. Ruthless murders. This is Slayer’s “Pride In Prejudice” music video.
With the premiere of “Pride In Prejudice,” Slayer completes the Repentless music video trilogy.
The first video, “Repentless,” was released 9/11/15 and has accumulated more than 9.8 million views to date. It introduced us to Wyatt, the eye-patched rebel inmate (Jason Trost/Hatchet III), and a host of nefarious prisoners played by some of today’s most iconic horror film actors including Danny Trejo (Machete, From Dusk Till Dawn), Tony Moran (Halloween, American Poltergeist), Derek Mears (Predators, Friday the 13th), Tyler Mane (Halloween), Sean Whalen (Men In Black, Halloween II), and Vernon Wells (Mad Max 2, Commando, Weird Science). “Repentless” was shot at the Sybil Brand Institute in East Los Angeles and has Slayer performing the song in the prison yard while a riot breaks out, blood flowing in abundance, inmates and prison guards brutally slaughtered.
From the very first frame, “You Against You,” the gore, the violence, the carnage begins and just never ends. While the second video in the trilogy, it is the prequel to “Repentless,” telling the story of the circumstances that led to Wyatt’s erroneous arrest and imprisonment. Slayer’s performance for “You Against You” was shot at a graveyard of jets, airliners and helicopters in California’s Mojave Desert. “You Against You” premiered 3/16/16 and has accumulated more than 4.8 million YouTube views.
The “Repentless” video trilogy was conceived and directed by BJ McDonnell who directed the 2013 horror film Hatchet III. His rich resume as a motion picture cameraman includes Jack Reacher, Tomorrowland and The Interview, and just wrapped filming for the upcoming Annabelle 2.
