Video: Windhand – “Red Cloud”

Don’t you hate it when your hunchback henchman foils your incantations with slapstick incompetence? Virginian metal group Windhand‘s new “Red Cloud” video captures the struggle. Witness all the ways this stumbling warlock and his sneezy, cartoon-loving sidekick manage to screw up what should be a simple scheme to magically summon a spiritual beauty from the remains of a dead woman’s heart. The song’s hooky, feedback-dense grunge revivalism is great, too.

In a press release, Windhand described the Zev Deans-directed video as a loving satire of Jean Rollin and Roger Corman’s low-budget mid-century surrealist horror films. “Red Cloud” is the latest single from the band’s fourth album Eternal Return, released Oct. 5 via Relapse. Seattle veteran Jack Endino (Soundgarden, Nirvana) produced the project. Windhand also released videos for lead singles “Grey Garden” and “Diablere.” The group is touring behind the album through January.
