New Single/Video, “A Dream About Starving To Death,” Streaming Now
From the shadowy crypts of New York comes the malevolent new band, BLOOD VULTURE. Created by Jordan Old (2 Minutes To Late Night), this gothic sludge metal entity lures listeners in with a mesmerizing blend of romanticism, metallic vibes, and brutal reckoning on their debut album, Die Close, which will be released on June 27th via Pure Noise Records.
Today, BLOOD VULTURE reveals the video for their first single, “A Dream About Starving To Death.” Jordan Olds comments on the track:
“’A Dream About Starving To Death’ is a song I wrote about a vampire who realizes he is about to watch the world end. He has lived past the extinction of humanity and lost count of how many days he has been hungry, and he realizes that soon there won’t be an earth anymore. He’s not sure whether it will explode or just rot and crumble, and he’s curious about whether he’ll disintegrate or just float forever in space.
The music video was inspired by the “Freddy coming through the wall” scene from “A Nightmare On Elm Street.” I then built it around a sleep paralysis narrative and had a lot of fun creating a Gullermo Del Toro style Hat Man and a goopy void reminiscent of Aliens and the symbiote from Spiderman alongside one of my main visual collaborators for this project, Kelly Harris. She also built and designed “Montague” the puppet from the “Blood Vault” segment at the beginning of the video. She’s a genius.”
Deep in the heart of a dark, mythical land (New York) in a bygone era (2025), BLOOD VULTURE has awakened ominous, morose tales of mortality, grief, madness and obsession. The self-described “Gothic sludge” project is the brainchild of Jordan Olds (Two Minutes to Late Night.) On his debut LP, DIE CLOSE (Pure Noise), Olds melds the emotive vocal stylings of grunge’s golden era with death metal, goth rock, and doom metal through a vampiric lens. The album tells the story of a reclusive vampire long locked away as he grapples with what it means to live forever in a world of impermanence. Blood Vulture’s songs are deeply personal, filtering real life ruminations through fantastical set pieces as tracks like “A Dream About Starving To Death” and the three-part “Die Close” suite ask: What good is immortality if there’s no one to share it with? What’s the true cost of isolation?
