BLOOD VULTURE, a vampiric goth rock band created by Jordan Olds (2 Minutes To Late Night), has revealed a surreal new video for his single "Burn For It" (Feat. Brian Fair), starring SLEIGH BELLS' vocalist Alexis Krauss.


Directed by Olds, the video pays tribute to 1981's cult favorite psychological horror film "Possession," and painstakingly recreates demonic scenes from the movie.


Commenting on the video, Olds states:


"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 new video for "Burn For It" is the latest from the insidious mind of Olds, and featured on his project BLOOD VULTURE's debut album, Die Close, which is out now via Pure Noise Records. The hypnotic short follows previously released videos for "Die Close," "Grey Mourning" (feat. Jade Puget of AFI) and "A Dream About Starving To Death."


Luring listeners in with a mesmerizing melding of gothic romanticism, lush metallic vibes and brutal reckoning, BLOOD VULTURE's initial offering Die Close features 10 haunting tracks perfect for the season at hand.


Catch BLOOD VULTURE on tour this month with GWAR, HELMET and DWARVES.
