Slayer: Blu-ray mit Konzert und Kurzfilm zum Tourabschluss

Die US-Thrasher SLAYER haben zum Abschluss ihrer Abschiedstour die Veröffentlichung einer Live-DVD mit begleitender CD/LP angekündigt. Das Werk wird den Titel „The Repentless Killogy, Live At the Forum in Inglewood, CA“ tragen und am 8.11.19 in verschiedenen Versionen erscheinen: Digital und auf Blu-ray, als Doppel-Vinyl und Doppel-CD. Neben schwarzem Vinyl soll es acht verschiedene Farb-Editionen geben.

Enthalten ist der Kurzfilm “Repentless Killogy” von BJ McDonnell sowie die komplette Show von SLAYER im Los Angeles Forum am 5. August 2017.

BJ McDonnell und SLAYER geben dazu zu Protokoll:
“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”).
