BAT release new music video for ‘Horror Vision’

BAT have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Horror Vision, is taken from the Richmond, Virginia-based metal and punk trio’s new album, Under The Crooked Claw, which was released back in May, via Nuclear Blast Records.

The track features 20 of the ‘video nasty’ titles highlighted throughout the song along with other classic horror clips edited together by Jim Stramel and bassist/vocalist Ryan Waste.

Speaking about the song and its accompanying music video, Ryan Waste states, “I grew up watching horror movies at a young age, and just like with heavy metal, I became obsessed, delving deeper into the obscure. In the early 80s, UK starch conservative Mary Whitehouse spearheaded a campaign against certain films she deemed unsuitable for viewing at home and coined the term ‘video nasties’. There was an initial list of 72 ‘obscene’ films on VHS, so of course I had to hunt them down and watch all of them in reverse protest. I inserted 20 video nasty movie titles in the lyrics for Horror Vision as a tribute to anti-censorship. In the music video, we highlight those films plus many more in the horror realm. I called upon fellow fright enthusiast Jim Stramel [BAT, STREETBANGER]) for his editing skills once again to create this onslaught of terror. We made sure that Mary Whitehouse not only rolls in her grave, but rocks her stiff bones down to hell with this video clip.”
