Blood Vulture, the gothic sludge metal venture headed up by ‘Two Minutes To Late Night‘ host Jordan Olds, have released their second single, “Grey Mourning“. Jade Puget, guitarist/vocalist, etc. for AFI, guests on this track. Olds had the following to say about the song and getting to work with Puget:
“When I was in middle school, AFI was my gateway to punk, hardcore, and goth. Jade Puget specifically was probably the biggest influence on my guitar playing and songwriting in that very formative time in my life. He’s such a melodic and unique player, and ‘Grey Mourning‘ is just a barrage of chromatic death metal riffs, so I thought it would be a really fun juxtaposition to set him loose in that kind of space and see what he came up with. I was honored that he agreed to do it, and his solo is so cool and unpredictable. It was exactly what I wanted.
In my freshman year of highschool, I snagged a black Les Paul studio because I saw him playing one in the Leaving Song Pt. II video and that’s actually the same guitar that I used to mimic his solo for the video. So this whole thing has been a wild full circle moment for me. Oh yeah, and the song is about vampires.”
Blood Vultures‘ debut album “Die Close” will be out June 27th on Pure Noise Records. A live show has been booked at The Meadows in Brooklyn, NY for June 01st alongside Pallbearer and Cinder Well.
