“Gavin Friday’s album cover, snapped by photographer Perry Ogden, takes on an added resonance when you consider its title and release date – Good Friday, April 22nd. The flag and the crucifix have had a sanctified place in Irish history and culture, and are inextricably linked with the military uniform Friday is wearing in the shot. If anything, the total image is like a visual representation of the best song to ever deal with Ireland’s various historical and religious malaises (The Radiators’ Song of the Faithful Departed ).”

Whatever about the actual game, this trailer for IGN’s upcoming zombie survival FPS Dead Island is more gripping and visceral than the trailers for most horror movies.

If you’re of a nervous/overly emotional disposition, move on. It’s gruesome. And really sad.

If you manage to see it through to the end, however, you’ll understand why the zombie aficionados at Harcos Labs have since recut the trailer to run in reverse at normal speed.
