Scion's SLAYER-Themed Car; Video Preview Streaming

Gear Gods has released the following video, previewing Scion's Slayer-themed vehicle, the Scion x Slayer Mobile Amp tC.

Metal, music and some serious skateboarding moves inspired two new Scion cars for the upcoming Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) Show. Scion will debut the “Scion x Slayer Mobile Amp tC” for heavy metal band Slayer, and the “Scion x Riley Hawk Skate Tour xB” for pro skateboarder Riley Hawk at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, November 4th - 7th.

Frequently cited for its deep influence on other metal bands, Slayer has a look, sound and approach all its own. The band’s aggressive style carries into the tC sports coupe’s exterior look and band-inspired details. Inside, the vehicle has been transformed into a multimedia machine with amps, towers of speakers, a custom mixer and a 32-inch monitor for media playback. Mike Vu of MV DESIGNZ is leading the build process.

 

 

“Slayer’s fans are going to be excited when we reveal what a metal-inspired Scion tC looks like,” Slayer guitarist Kerry King said. “Working with Scion has given us another way to reach new audiences and inspire them to keep going down their own paths.”

Scion, sponsor of Slayer’s fall US tour, gives fans an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look in another new video clip. In the clip, Kerry King gives fans a rare glimpse of his Psychotic Exotics’ reptile house and herpetology nursery:

In the last clip, Tom Araya tours the ESP Factory, home of his signature series bass:

Another video features an in-studio visit with Kerry King and Tom Araya as they work on their forthcoming album:
