Blood Vulture, the project featuring “Two Minutes To Late Night” host Jordan “Gwarsenio Hall” Olds, have premiered a new video for their new song “Grey Mourning.” The track, which features AFI’s Jade Puget, is from the band’s new album “Die Close,” which will be released on June 27.
Olds commented:
“When I was in middle school, AFI was my gateway to punk, hardcore, and goth. Jade Puget specifically was probably the biggest influence on my guitar playing and songwriting in that very formative time in my life. He’s such a melodic and unique player, and ‘Grey Mourning‘ is just a barrage of chromatic death metal riffs, so I thought it would be a really fun juxtaposition to set him loose in that kind of space and see what he came up with. I was honored that he agreed to do it, and his solo is so cool and unpredictable. It was exactly what I wanted.
In my freshman year of highschool, I snagged a black Les Paul studio because I saw him playing one in the Leaving Song Pt. II video and that’s actually the same guitar that I used to mimic his solo for the video. So this whole thing has been a wild full circle moment for me. Oh yeah, and the song is about vampires.”
