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 videoOlds 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.

About BLOOD VULTURE:

This is the story of a vampire known as “The Blood Vulture.” A once-insatiable bloodthirsty abomination of a creature, he is now a recluse long locked away as he grapples with what it means to live forever in a world of impermanence. His tales of regret and grief and terror will be told from hereon through songs that meld the emotive vocal stylings of grunge’s golden era with death metal, goth rock, and doom metal.

BEGINNING OF THE END Feature Film To Be Released In Time For Halloween And The 2025 Holiday Season!

Posted in halloween, horror, horror movies, movies, news with tags , , , on October 20, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

OCTOBER 2025

After delivering albums from Ron Keel, Cold Sweat, The Fifth, and Crashing Wayward, RFK Media has branched out into the movie business, releasing the Mantaray Pictures feature film Beginning Of The End in time for Halloween and the 2025 holiday season.

The DVD edition is available to order now at http://RFKmediashop.com and streaming online on demand at http://patreon.com/ronkeel (premiering October 31st). The movie stars rocker Ron Keel, Playboy model Kaitlyn Jaynne, actress Melody Portnoy (daughter of Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy), and features a cameo by Mark “The Animal” Mendoza (ex-Twisted Sister).

Beginning Of The End made its theatrical premiere in July at the Edmonds Theatre in Washington. This movie is a collaboration between several independent filmmakers including award winning writer/director Terry R. Wickham (“Double Vision,” “Devil’s Five”), Jack Marziliano, and Zach Maldonado. It weaves together four short films rooted around the theme of Artificial Intelligence making people kill each other on the same night (in the same world) in almost linear time in different ways.

“Making the movie was a great experience,” Ron Keel comments. “I portray Ray, the next-door neighbor, an ordinary guy thrust into a very extraordinary situation. Not to give too much away, but there is some screaming involved, and I’ve had had a lot of practice acting like that!”

In addition to the film and the aforementioned music releases, RFK Media has new albums from Bad Marriage and Generation Landslide scheduled for 2026. There’s also a KEELWORLD comic book and other multi-media projects on the horizon.

TENEBRO – Italian Death Metal Horror Masters Unveil New Single “Impiccata”

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on October 20, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Italian death metallers TENEBRO are set to unleash their new album Una Lama D’Argento on December 12th, 2025 via Time To Kill Records.

Continuing their morbid devotion to the putrid sounds of classic horror and old school death metal, the band promises another slab of grotesque heaviness. The record features a striking cover artwork created by Julian Ibanez, perfectly capturing the nightmarish essence and macabre storytelling that have become TENEBRO’s signature traits.

The first single “Impiccata” is available now:

YouTube: https://youtu.be/ojZep_CBW6M

Streaming: https://ffm.to/tenebro-impiccata

The band commented:

“The first single, ‘Impiccata’, strikes with relentless intensity: a fast, uncompromising track that mirrors the shocking imagery of Dario Argento’s Suspiria. Inspired by the infamous hanging scene, the song channels the sense of sudden, inescapable terror that erupts without warning. With its direct, no-frills approach, ‘Impiccata’ captures the essence of Tenebro’s sound: sharp, immediate, and merciless, like a blade cutting through silence”.

With their horrific and claustrophobic death metal, TENEBRO reaffirm themselves as one of the most uncompromising and distinctive acts in the Italian extreme underground, ready to push even further with this new work.

With “Una Lama D’Argento”TENEBRO take their most extreme and visionary step yet: an entire album conceived as a tribute to Dario Argento, the undisputed master of horror, giallo and thriller cinema.
Eleven tracks that are not just songs, but episodes of a single nightmare, a journey through the dark and obsessive atmospheres of the films that shaped cinema history: Deep Red (1975), Suspiria (1977), Inferno (1980), Tenebre (1982), Phenomena (1985), and Opera (1987).

TENEBRO translate Argento’s universe into sound: riffs sharp as blades, guttural vocals emerging from the darkness, relentless drumming, and atmospheres shifting between pure violence and suffocating tension. Iconic scenes such as the mirror revealing the killer in Deep Red, the brutal mutilation in Tenebre, or the larva-filled bathtub finale in Phenomena are transformed into brutal, immersive sonic attacks, capturing the full horror and tension of the films.

Track-list:

1. Inferno
2. L’angelo Caduto Tra Le Luci Del Teatro
3. Impiccata
4. Sangue Sui Muri
5. Lo Specchio… Omicida.
6. Il Corpo Come Spartito
7. Piume Rosse
8. Appare ala Bambola, Poi La Lama
9. Larve Affamate
10. Nel Sonno Della Veggente
11. Jennifer

As with every album, TENEBRO continue to evolve, introducing new symphonies, styles, and melodies, while remaining distinctly separate from the wider underground scene. Their music explores new horizons without ever betraying the pulsating heart that has always defined their sound: extreme, theatrical, and viscerally horror-driven.

In Una Lama D’Argento, TENEBRO do not merely evoke Argento’s universe: they embody it, rewriting his obsessions in Giallo Metal. It is an album that cuts, tears, and leaves no room for respite.
Una Lama D’Argento is not just an album: it is a sonic nightmare, a visceral tribute to the cinema that taught us to love fear.

Il Becchino – Guitars, Vocals
Il Beccamorto – Bass, Drums, Guitars
