Bloody-Disgusting has teamed up with Austin, TX occult rockers Ancient VVisdom to bring you the exclusive music video for their track “Never Live Again”. The video was directed by Nathan Daughdrill of Neightmedia, who comments, “Shooting this video was like going back to the days of early horror films, all we had was a camera and an idea.” The video intermingles performance footage with dark, mysterious imagery.

“Never Live Again” comes from the band’s sophomore release Deathlike, which came out Feb. 2nd this year via Prosthetic Records (purchase here).

Vocalist Nathan Opposition comments, “In horror, we are joined together to unveil the NEVER LIVE AGAIN music video. The executioner stands as the final act of judgment upon your mortal existence. In this video we wanted to portray horror and the fine art of self awakening. Because we’re all dying to live, I challenge the listeners and viewers to go beyond the realms of their own consciousness to expand the mind into a new positive reality while they still have time. Inspired by Black Sabbath’s ‘Killing Yourself To Live,’ I wrote this song to invoke change. I believe this generation needs to learn a thing or two about their own existence.

Indonesian filmmaker Kimo Stamboel (MacabreHeadshot, The Queen of Black Magic) is back in the director’s chair for MD Pictures’ Badarawuhi Di Desa Penari (aka Dancing Village: The Curse Begins), a prequel to the Indonesian box office hit KKN Curse Of The Dancing Village. Lionsgate brings the film to U.S. theaters on April 26.

While you wait, whet your appetite for gruesome horror with a gnarly exclusive clip from Dancing Village: The Curse Begins below, along with a gallery of bloody exclusive images.

In the horror prequel, “A shaman instructs Mila to return a mystical bracelet, the Kawaturih, to the ‘Dancing Village,’ a remote site on the easternmost tip of Java Island. Joined by her cousin, Yuda, and his friends Jito and Arya, Mila arrives on the island only to discover that the village elder has passed away, and that the new guardian, Mbah Buyut, isn’t present.

“Various strange and eerie events occur while awaiting Mbah Buyut’s return, including Mila being visited by Badarawuhi, a mysterious, mythical being who rules the village. When she decides to return the Kawaturih without the help of Mgah Buyut, Mila threatens the village’s safety, and she must join a ritual to select the new ‘Dawuh,’ a cursed soul forced to dance for the rest of her life.”

Kimo Stamboel directs from a screenplay by Lele Laila.
