Slayer's Eyes of the Insane

(HER) The visual madness and horrors of war are the threads running through the just-completed promo video for Slayer's "Eyes of the Insane," set to debut at MP3.com/Gamespot (http://wwwascap-extortion-removed.com/) today. The song is on the band's newest album, Christ Illusion (American Recordings) which was released August 8 and debuted at #5 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums' Charts, the band's highest-ever debut.

Directed by Iranian filmmaker Tony Petrossian (Slipknot), "Eyes of the Insane" is a first-person narrative about the horrors leading up to the final moments of a solder at war. The entire video is a single, long and tight close-up of the soldier's eye with images clearly reflected within his pupil and iris and perfectly choreographed with the rhythm of the music. Reflected are disconcerting images of para trooping into enemy territory, gunfire, helicopters and tanks, explosions, poignant flashbacks of his wife and child and home, and the images of his death. Two endings were filmed - one where the soldier dies from his combat injuries, and the other where he commits suicide.
