Horror fans, take heed; a haunting new video has emerged, stitching together eerie, satanic visuals from cult horror classics like The Devil's Men, The Devil Rides Out, The Witching, and more. This chilling and beautiful montage serves as the visual companion to The Devil Is Real, the eponymous debut track from the band of the same name.
Yet, The Devil Is Real isn’t just another name in the darkness but the latest creation from TJ Cowgill (a.k.a. King Dude), in collaboration with longtime friend and fellow sonic conjurer Justin Pittney. The duo’s creative paths first crossed in 2013 when Pittney recorded and produced King Dude’s Holy Trinity EP.
“I knew that whatever I did next,” Cowgill says, “I wanted it to be a collaboration - with someone I respect musically and who shares my sense of humor. I wanted to make music with someone I actually want to hang out with.”
The result is a mesmerizing fusion of the occult, the psychedelic, and the heavy underground, wrapped in a ritualistic aesthetic which is as immersive as it is unholy. The Devil Is Real's first offering summons the darkness in the most seamless manner.
