Release

The song was originally intended to be released on cassette during their European tour. [1] When the cassettes were delayed, the track was made available on their site as a free download. [2]

Composition

The song itself is divided into four segments that cover a wide range of genres: part one is a two-minute experimental metal segment from which "Endless Slaughter" gets its name, it's the longest and most structured part of the song.

Part two is a softer, somewhat ambient interlude that leads into part three; a glam metal-oriented breakdown and the shortest segment, lasting about 40 seconds.

The fourth and final part starts with a distorted guitar solo and quickly becomes a hip hop song that ends abruptly.

Music video

The music video, released on August 24, was filmed during the band's European tour, [3] and consists of four long takes for each band member and each part of the song, Otto and Durst's portions were filmed at The Patronaat. [4]

Critical reception

The song has had a mixed reception with critics and fans alike. [5] [6]
