This dark, spooky New Orleans-infused version is a slight sonic departure from their previous releases, as BIC curator **Michael Ciravolo** assumes lead vocal, highlighting his New Orleans drawl, front and center.   Ciravolo has also enlisted saxophone extraordinaire [**Mars Williams**](http://www.marswilliams.com/)**** of** The Psychedelic Furs **to add some amazing jazz inspired avant-garde vibes to this incredible song, as well as vocalists **Whitney Tai, Kat Leon **and** Tish Ciravolo** in a nod to the original song.   BEAUTY IN CHAOS - BLOODLETTING (The Vampire Song) Official Video [⌊BEAUTY IN CHAOS - BLOODLETTING (The Vampire Song) Official Video⌉⌊BEAUTY IN CHAOS- BLOODLETTING (The Vampire Song) Official Video⌉ Watch this video on YouTube “I always loved this song, as Johnette’s lyrics painted an eerily realistic picture of my hometown.  On a recent trip there, I found myself walking through some dark side streets in the French Quarter with my BIC producer Michael Rozon and the freaky sights and sounds had this song ringing in my head.  I heard a saxophone wailing from a distant club and that inspired this cover idea.  Fortunately for me, my friends Tim Palmer and Richard Fortus had just produced the latest Furs album and kindly made an introduction to Mars. I’ve always loved what he plays with one of my favorite bands and he thankfully agreed to be part of this,” says **Michael Ciravolo**.   ![](https://i0.wp.com/redirect.haulix.com/076la_ve99B2Oikdp1lwAW6hKWoWoTCn9an5ksH4QUw% 3D/PromoAccessory_425941.jpg?resize=483%2C322&ssl=1) **Photos by Liz Ardman** As with many BIC singles, a stunning video accompanies this release, each audio- visual offering very different from its predecessors.  For ‘Bloodletting’, [**Vicente Cordero**](https://www.instagram.com/vcordero6/?hl=en)**** and[ **Industrialism Films**](https://industrialismfilms.com/)** **returned behind the camera.   **Ciravolo** adds: “Well, this video is certainly VERY different from our most recent single ‘Afterlife’. We wanted a very tongue-in-cheek (or would that be fangs-in- neck?) mix of ‘Eyes Wide Shut‘‘ and ’‘Lost Boys” … focusing more on a loosely-based storyline than just a simple band performance with it all being in good campy fun!” Beauty In Chaos recently released the documentary film [**‘Unveiled’**](https://jammer.direct/unveiled), providing behind-the-scenes insight into the band’s recently released all-female- fronted album[ ](http://www.beautyinchaosmusic.com/music-store)**‘Behind The Veil’**. As for all BIC releases, the physical version (CD/ vinyl) is accompanied by a 25- track digital bonus edition featuring remixes by **Paul Wiley (Marilyn Manson), Sin Quirin (Ministry), Kitty Lectro, Bentley Jones, Julian Shah-Tayler, Roman Marisak, Kevin Kipnis** and** The Phoenix Supernova**, as well as an extended album version of **‘Orion’.** ‘Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)’ is out now, available digitally from fine music outlets, including [**Apple Music**](https://music.apple.com/ca/artist/beauty-in-chaos/1437148356)**,** [**Spotify**](https://open.spotify.com/artist/2TwN2egUCb7rbS0Bfkdsd0)** **and [**Bandcamp**](https://beautyinchaos.bandcamp.com/).
