[Exclusive] Dive Into The Occult In This Coliseum “Black Magic Punks” Music Video Premiere
Bloody-Disgusting is excited to bring you the exclusive music video premiere for Coliseum‘s “Black Magic Punks”, which comes off their upcoming album Sister Faith. The video is full of occult imagery and uses vivid colors similar to the style of Dario Argento. You can watch this exclusive premiere below.
John Baizley of Baroness recently wrote, “Musical progression tends to come at the expense of quality or ethics, and Coliseum have sacrificed neither. Though punk-rock may have been the template (and paradigms DO shift), songwriting and emotional content have become Coliseums focus, and to that end they have gracefully transitioned from the unrelenting anger, rage, and rawness of youth to a more thought-provoking, yet no-less-powerful or insightful sound that is entirely their own.”
Sister Faith comes out Apr. 30th via Temporary Residence LTD. A North American tour is in plans for May/June. READ MORE

Asia Shows Fangs In New ‘Dracula 3D’ Photos
I wonder if Dario knows what Twitter is, or that he has no reason to hire a PR agency to promote Dracula 3D because his daughter, Asia, is doing a great job distributing production stills online all by herself. The latest slew of photos shows her character, Lucy, after her transformation and Alan Jones hanging out on the set. My question is when are we going to see Rutger Hauer running around with stakes?
Argento’s stereoscopic retelling of Dracula has no release date as of yet, but one would assume late 2011 or early 2012.

Today, Asia Argento – who plays Lucy – posted a few behind-the-scenes photos from the set, including shots of Mina (Marta Gastini), her dad, and a building which I assume is either Carfax Abbey or Castle Dracula.

Dario Argento’s ‘Dracula 3D’ Films in February
After Giallo and Mother of Tears I am sad to report that I just don’t care about Dario Argento’s Dracula 3D. I’d bet against it. I’d bet A LOT of money against it. Some (small) fresh news today as it was reported that powerful Spanish film-TV businessman Enrique Cerezo has taken a minority co-production stake in Italian horror maestro’s stereoscopic 3D adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula.” The English-language pic, set to go into production from February in Hungary, is budgeted at Euro10 million ($13.2 million). Not much more to report than that, but it looks as if it’s actually happening. Yay?
