Lucifer have released a new single, “Bring Me His Head.” True to Lucifer’s usual sound, it’s a ’70s throwback track. Appropriately, then, the video is a very convincing recreation of television performances in that era. Like, I bet you could convince people this is real.
The clip is actually intended as an homage to Brian De Palma’s Stephen King’s Carrie, although the only obvious tip of the hat to that movie comes right at the end.
Says frontwoman Johanna Sadonis:
“‘Carrie’ is one of my favorite movies. Being an outsider myself my entire life, I’ve always identified with her. We are very excited that this time we got to work with director Amir Chamdin and photographer Crille Forsberg on our videos. Their body of work is quite breathtaking, if you look it up, so it was a real honor. The video to ‘Bring Me His Head’ is only one part of the story but we can’t give anything more away at this point.”
She’s always identified with Carrie? FUCK, that’s rough. Carrie has a short, miserable life marked by pain and abuse. Hopefully Sadonis doesn’t identify with her too much.

The song will appear on Lucifer’s new album, Lucifer IV. That comes out October 29 on Century Media. Pre-order it here.
