Gothic sludge act Blood Vulture announce debut album ‘Die Close’ + release new single & video “A Dream About Starving To Death”

From the shadowy crypts of somewhere in New York comes a new malevolent demon band, BLOOD VULTURE. Created by demented mastermind Jordan Old (2 Minutes To Late Night), the sludge metal entity lures listeners in with a mesmerizing melding of gothic romanticism, lush metallic vibes and brutal reckoning on their debut album, Die Close, which will see the light on 27th June 2025 via Pure Noise Records.

Today, BLOOD VULTURE reveals a video for their first song, “A Dream About Starving To Death.” Commenting on the track, Old’s says:  “’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 the 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 Elms 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.
