James Barnes directs a fiery promo for Scarlxrd in the latest result from his longstanding collaboration with the artist. For the video for The Walking Dead, Barnes strips things back to basics, with a cinematic aesthetic which encapsulates an impassioned performance. It's a simple yet fitting concept, which boasts plenty of headbanging and slow-mo shots of roaring flames and the artist's haunting new mask."The Walking Dead is a homage to one of Scarlxrd’s favourite bands Slipknot and their Psychosocial visual," explains Barnes. "I’ve now hung him from a train, had the Russian mob shoot him, chucked him down a snowy Hungarian cliff and set him on fire. Long may it continue!"
