HeadCrusher “Common Nonsense” Video Premiere
Bloody-Disgusting has teamed up with Austin metal band HeadCrusher (who originally hail from Columbia) to bring you an exclusive music video premiere for their track “Common Nonsense”. Directed by Michael Panduro (Job For A Cowboy, Cephalic Carnage), the video shows three young women who get their jollies off by beating the absolute crap out of each other. Not content with their fists and teeth, the three eventually turn to far more lethal and dangerous weaponry, including (but not limited to) an axe, a box cutter, and a book (I’m not joking). I don’t know how much fake blood was used in this video but I think more was used in the few minutes it runs than in most horror movies.
The band comments:
We are stoked to share this collaboration with Michael. We are big fans of his work. It’s always interesting to see how concept translates from one person to the other; his vision captured the lyrics to the very core.
“Common Nonsense” comes from the band’s debut album Let The Blood Run. You can order the 2xLP right here.
Director Michael Panduro adds:
The lyrics of the track deal with the inevitability of violence. I tried to roll with the theme and comment on how we consume violence in our everyday lives. Production wise, it’s been one of those projects where everything goes wrong. We’ve had so many unforeseen obstacles and last minute challenges, that we basically wound up improvising most of the video, ending up with something completely different from what we set out to do. I’m grateful to the guys in HeadCrusher, for allowing me to work like that, and not getting pissed that I didn’t do what I told them I would do. I also applaud them for letting me do a metal video with an all female cast, without having to sexualize our characters in some stupid way or other.

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]
Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.
A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.
For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.
Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.
“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”
“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”
Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.
Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.
Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.
Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
