Texan thrash metal group Warbeast have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Hitchhiker\u2019. The 18-minute video – which stars actor Ed Neal (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre<\/em>) – can be be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Frontman Bruce Corbitt commented: \u201cI\u2019ve actually had this idea of using Ed Neal for a music video for a long time. So after we knew for sure that we were going to include a song called \u2018Hitchhiker\u2019 on the new Warbeast album, obviously the timing was right to make this old idea become a new reality.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lyrics for the song are based on Ed\u2019s character from the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre<\/em>. But this short film \/ music video is not related to that movie plot in any way. This is really just a silly script and a band having fun working on our final project together. Ed was a complete professional and great to work with, and we are excited to have him starring in this. But like I said, this film isn\u2019t to be taken serious, so I hope you have as much fun watching it as we had making it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to Michael Huebner and 12 Pound Productions for doing a great job filming and editing this video. I also got to give a shout-out to Lee Russell and Gas Monkey Live for allowing us to film the music portion of this film there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warbeast issued third full-length studio album Enter The Arena<\/em> on August 4th, 2017 through Philip H. Anselmo\u2019s own Housecore Records.<\/p>\n

Enter The Arena<\/em> has been made available for streaming in its entirety through SoundCloud and can be accessed below.<\/p>\n

The outing was recorded at Anselmo\u2019s Nodferatu\u2019s Lair, with mixing being handled by Mike Thompson at the Riff Factory and mastering by Lee Russell. Enter The Arena<\/em> marks the recording debuts of guitarist Drew Shoup and bassist Lyric Ferchaud.<\/p>\n

Enter The Arena<\/em>\u2019s release follows the announcement that vocalist Bruce Corbitt has been diagnosed with oesophagical cancer, and will likely never sing again. Corbitt\u2019s final show at the vocal helm took place on May 27th at the Rail Club in Fort Worth, Texas.<\/p>\n
