Most of the time noise pop duo Sleigh Bells enjoy exuding a particular type of image, one that speaks of being hard-edged, rebellious, and care-free in a weird, early ’90s vintage kind of way. 

Noise-pop duo Sleigh Bells have premiered their newest music video for their Reign of Terror track “Demons.” Directed by the band’s Derek Miller with the help of Gregory Kohn the clip utilizes live footage from the group’s recent Omaha, Oklahoma, Dallas, and Houston shows to create a Pantera-inspired piece full of strobe lights, head-banging, and studded leather outfits.

Before joining up with the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the road later this spring, noise-pop duo Sleigh Bells have scheduled a number of additional performances across North America in support of their sophomore album Reign of Terror. (via Sleigh Bells Add More Tour Dates | Under The Radar)

“Push it! Push it! Push it! True shred guitar!” Sleigh Bells’ Alexis Krauss screams in the first track of Reign of Terror, splaying the album’s M.O. clear and (oh-so-staggeringly) loud. If 2010’s Treats was an experiment in excessive volume, this is their demonstration of excessive force. Reign of Terror packs a visceral wallop, at moments far more bruising than anything on its predecessor. (via Sleigh Bells: Reign of Terror (Mom Pop) | Under The Radar)

Coinciding with a feature story published this morning, The New York Times has gotten itself an exclusive stream of Sleigh Bells’ forthcoming sophomore LP Reign of Terror. (via Stream Sleigh Bells’ New Album | Under The Radar)

Sleigh Bells’ single “Comeback Kid” has been given the music video treatment, and the above image pretty much speaks for itself in terms of what to expect. (via Watch: Sleigh Bells - “Comeback Kid” Video | Under The Radar)
