BLOOD VULTURE
DEBUT ALBUM ‘DIE CLOSE’
OUT TODAY VIA PURE NOISE RECORDS
Gothic sludge night stalker, BLOOD VULTURE, created by Jordan Olds (2 Minutes To Late Night), has released its debut album, Die Close, today with Pure Noise Records. Luring listeners in with a mesmerizing melding of gothic romanticism, lush metallic vibes and brutal reckoning, the anticipated initial offering features 10 haunting tracks like “Grey Mourning” (Featuring Jade Puget of AFI) and “A Dream About Starving To Death” and boasts additional guests Kristin Hayter (Lingua Ignota) and Brian Fair (Shadows Fall).
Commenting on the new record, Olds states: “This is the first time I’ve ever released a piece of sincere art. Love it or hate it or think it’s okay, I sincerely appreciate anyone who takes the time to listen to it. Also, S/O Spider One from Powerman 5000 for calling out my comedy as a defense mechanism. Probably wouldn’t have made this if he didn’t cook me like that.“
Today, BLOOD VULTURE reveals the full debut along with a video for the title track, “Die Close.”
Olds says of the new song and video: “This video was heavily inspired by Kathryn Bigelow’s Near Dark and also a little bit by The Lost Boys. I love that they are these sister Vampire movies from 1987 that have almost the same plot, but couldn’t be more beautifully different in style. This is a song about the universal pain of loss, but in reality I wrote about my dog and how I think about her passing a little bit every day to try to ease the pain of the day when she finally passes. Every guest vocal you see on the chorus of the song was performed by one of my friends who also has a dog that they’d do anything for, so it meant a lot to me to have their voices on the track.“

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.
