Go Behind the Scenes of Anthrax’s Grisly New Video

Posehn appeared in Rob Zombie’s 2005 horror film The Devil’s Rejects, and over the years has managed to portray both victim and victimizers. “Yeah, I’ve done both,” he says. “Murdering seems more fun so far.”

Faces that will not likely appear in the final video belong to the members of Anthrax. “I hate being in music videos,” Ian explains. “I find the whole process horribly boring and annoying.”

In his hands is a grinning skull mask. Ian puts it on over his face, leaving his distinctive graying Tutankhamun goatee sticking out from the bottom: “Can you tell it’s me?”

Nearby, bearded cast member Neil Chakrabarti lifts his T-shirt to reveal elaborate tattooing and scarification that covers his chest. At the center is a pentagram and upside down cross. Chakrabarti is about to appear on-camera while suspended by hooks in the flesh of his back. “In reality I enjoy it,” he explains, “but I’m going to be acting like it hurts really, really bad.”
