The Forest Children: Cold Blooded Music Video

Cold Blooded is the latest product of a two man music group called The Forest Children. These performers have an interesting history of melding weird imagery with uncanny lyrics, dating back to their previous albums, The Psychoangelic Crypt and Kingdom Animalia. The Forest Children are composed of guitarist Shawn C. Barker and singer-songwriter Dennis Hellmann. Their tense chords and unsettling words share weird literature's atmospheric spirit.

The imagery in "Cold Blooded" cements this relationship, unintended or intentional. Fleeting sights of devilish gods, dark rituals, and divination flow like a video reminiscence of Arthur Machen's occult wonders, or H.P. Lovecraft's worst Cthulhu cults. Though some visceral sights also abound, "Cold Blooded" nicely balances unspoken strangeness with traditional black magic symbols and apocalyptic overtones. Most importantly, the band integrates their macabre scenes fluidly with the steady tempo and mysterious storyline whispering in the background.

Look for it on a forthcoming album by the Forest Children, which will probably be as eerie and unusual as its predecessors.
