Set to begin an extensive run on the Return of Gor Gor Tour supporting the mighty Scumdogs of the Universe in GWAR this fall, practitioners of heavy goth Blood Vulture have delivered a dazzling new music video for the single, "Burn For It".
The track was featured on the debut album Die Close, a masterclass of stylized macabre from songwriter and sound architect, Jordan Olds of 2 Minutes To Late Night fame. Combined with a powerful performance from Brian Fair of Shadows Fall, the mammoth sound, punchy song dynamics and incendiary performance make for a standout track on the album.
Adding to the magnitude of the track, Olds asserts his prowess as director for the cinematic music video that sources classic horror for a visual that is as arresting as it is aggressive. Referencing the 1981 cult classic Possession, Olds enlists Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells to recreate the some of the film's most enduring scenes.
"The video is a homage to one of my favorite movies, 'Possession' (1981). Almost every shot in the video is a recreation of a scene from the movie paced to the music. For decades, it was so difficult to actually watch the movie. It was banned in the US when it originally came out and then it wasn't allowed on streaming for a long time. Now thanks to Kino Lorber and Metrograph, there's tons of screenings and streaming services (including the free ones from the library) showing the full version.
I consider it to be one of the great masterpieces in alternative cinema with two of the best on screen performances of all time and my favorite camera work ever. This whole idea was basically a Trojan horse to get people excited about that movie again. I also couldn't be more grateful to my friend Alexis Krauss for trusting me with this idea and giving so much time and energy to this. It takes a special kind of artist and a special kind of talent to find a way to be fully compelling for 5 entire minutes by themselves and Alexis is that kind of special."
Die Close, the debut album from Blood Vulture is now available via Pure Noise Records and features a host of diverse guest contributions. Among the names contributing to the album include Kristin Hayter, also known as Lingua Ignota, as well as Jade Puget of AFI along with the previously mentioned Brian Fair of Shadows Fall.
