Blood Vulture, the goth rock project helmed by Jordan “Gwarsenio Hall” Olds of ‘2 Minutes To Late Night’ fame, has unveiled a music video for the new track “Burn For It.” The song features a guest appearance from Brian Fair of Shadows Fall, while the video stars Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells in a striking homage to the 1981 psychological horror classic ‘Possession.’

Olds himself took the director’s chair for the video and offered the following about the concept:

“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 track appears on Blood Vulture‘s debut album, “Die Close,” which is out now. The release of the video comes just ahead of the band’s upcoming stint supporting GWAR on their 40th anniversary tour. That trek will see Helmet serving as direct support, with Dwarves and Blood Vulture opening each night.
