<p>It's not a new song, but a stunning new video companion to <a href="http://www.blitzentrapper.net">Blitzen Trapper</a>'s macabre but eminently re-listenable "Black River Killer," taken from last year's <em>Furr</em>. Director Daniel Elkayam embraces the narrative of the updated murder ballad, and comes up with something at least as dark as the song (adding the creepy masked gallery for extra effect).</p>
