You've heard Slayer's "Raining Blood" likely hundreds of thousands of times, but never quite like this. Jeris Johnson, who has emerged from the TikTok world, has partnered with City Morgue member ZillaKami to give the Slayer classic a fresh makeover for 2022.

You likely remember Johnson from last year's classic reimagining of "Last Resort" with the members of Papa Roach or his work with Bring Me the Horizon on a remix of "Can You Feel My Heart." Now he's back adding some fearsome beats, a doomier vibe and some in your face aggression to Slayer's sonic assault, encapsulating what he refers to as "future grunge."

Johnson says, “‘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.”

ZillaKami chimed in, “I had mad fun creating 'Raining Blood' with Jeris, cant wait for you to hear it.”

You can check out the cinematic Brendan Barone directed video below, and if you like what you hear and see, the song is available to pick up at this location.
