Skynd release new music video for ‘John Wayne Gacy’

SKYND have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track John Wayne Gacy, is the brand new single from the industrial-tinged true crime duo and comes on the back of recent festival appearances at Download, Rock am Ring and Rock Im Park. The new single follows the release of Armin Meiwes earlier this year, and is taken from the band’s upcoming EP, Chapter IV, more information of which will be unveiled in due course.

“The John Wayne Gacy case has been following me all my life,” Skynd shares about the new song. “The level of arrogance he had, and how he spoke about his victims — ‘I killed 33, you’re only going to kill me once.’ That arrogance is something that stuck with me through today. He also had this twisted rationale for his murders, where he’d project his disgust on his rape victims and ‘what THEY made him do, ‘and that they deserved to die.”

She continues, “It’s not like Gacy never drew attention from the authorities. A teenage boy told the Chicago police that Gacy picked him up from a bus station and tried to rape him. The charges were dropped when the boy failed to show up — which is logical to me, as he was afraid — to testify in court and the incident seemingly escaped notice from the Iowa Parole Board. If someone would have looked closely, they could have prevented all the murders.”
