The latest of Slayer's "World Painted Blood" song explanation videos is now online at Spin.com. The new video clip discusses the song "Beauty Through Order."

"It's about the first known female serial killer," bassist Tom Araya says of the tune. Adds guitarist Jeff Hanneman: "I've been meaning to write a song about that for a long time. I couldn't figure out the angle, I was thinking, 'How does a woman write? I can't write like a woman I'm a guy!' Then I just figured, 'Well, she's evil; she has lots of power and killed people.' So I just started writing and the lyrics and they came out."

"World Painted Blood" will be released Tuesday, November 3rd in North America and Monday, November 2nd to the rest of the world. The "World Painted Blood" track listing is as follows:

1. World Painted Blood

Probably won't be a "Countess Bathory" but I'll give it a read. Also interesting to read Venom's lyrics, and then contrast that with Jeff who writes in the first person.
