All World Painted Blood collector's edition covers
Thrash legends Slayer will take over MySpace's Music portal this Halloween weekend to promote their upcoming album, World Painted Blood. The entirety of this new and highly-anticipated release will be streamed until the album officially drops on Tuesday, November 3. In addition, every slot on the site will feature Slayer content: music videos, behind-the-scenes footage, and more.
MySpace Music will also host the 20-minute video Playing with Dolls, an animated graphic novel set to the band's new music, including a bonus track not found on the album proper. This unique feature will only be available after Tuesday in the form of the album's deluxe version, where it will be presented on DVD and accompanied with its own booklet.

Playing with Dolls, directed by Mark Brooks of Metalocalypse fame, is a 12-part narrative that features serial killers, psychotics, and other nefarious personality types. The animated graphic novel is presented from the point of view of a nameless protagonist who commits acts of depravity as part of his purpose; “his methods are as grisly and varied as they are poetic,” according to a press release.
