Girih Blast You into Outer Space with New Music Video “The Ring” [Exclusive]
In space, no one can hear you riff… that is, unless you’re Girih. Bloody-Disgusting has teamed up with the instrumental post-rock act to debut their cosmic music video for “The Ring,” which you can watch below.
“The Ring” is the first single from the band’s sophomore album, Ikigai, named after the Japanese conceptual philosophy of finding purpose and fulfillment. It will be released digitally and on vinyl on October 14 via A Thousand Arms in the US and Dunk! Records in Europe.
With the help of filmmakers Tanner Fowler, Hans Peter Schepp, Jonathan Vardi, Pong Chan, and Timothy McGlinchey, “The Ring” takes viewers on a surreal sci-fi journey in the vein of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Interstellar, and Gravity.
Formed in New Hampshire in 2016, Girih is comprised of Alex Paul and Brian Luttrell on guitars and Jeremy Dingman on drums. “The Ring” finds the trio joined by cellist Nick Grieco and violinist John Snyder to add an orchestral dynamic.
“Ikigai is about the process that an artist goes through to create their respective art,” explains Luttrell. “Film is an art that we, as a band, really love, and a lot of that comes with the amazing scores that compliment them.” Girih cites composers John Carpenter and Hans Zimmer along with bands like Russian Circles, O’Brother, and Caspian as influences.

Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
