Blood Vulture, the goth rock outfit headed up by Jordan “Gwarsenio Hall” Olds of ‘2 Minutes To Late Night‘ fame, has released a music for his track “Burn For It“. Not only does that song find metalcore vet Brian Fair (of Shadows Fall) guesting on the song, the video for it features Sleigh Bells vocalist Alexis Krauss starring in a tribute to the 1981 horror film ‘Possession‘. Olds served as the director for the clip and explained:
“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.”
The song is taken from Blood Vulture‘s debut album “Die Close“, which is available now. The video’s launch arrived just days ahead of the kickoff of the band’s upcoming run as support on GWAR‘s 40th anniversary tour. Helmet will be direct support on that run with Dwarves and Blood Vulture opening the shows.
