Serenity in Murder was the first single released off of Slayer’s 6th studio album, Diving Intervention.  Tom Araya said that the songs on the album were largely inspired by what he was watching on television at the time.  Both the song and the video for Serenity in Murder appear to have been inspired by the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer.

Director Jon Reiss also did videos for Nine Inch Nails, Type O Negative, Danzig, and Diamanda Girls.

Remember when everyone’s parents were scared to death of finding cassettes from bands like Slayer and Anthrax in their child’s music collection?  

Enjoy!
