WackenTube is premiering the new video from Cleveland, Ohio doomsters VENOMIN JAMES. 'Make No Mistake' is taken from the band's latest Crowe Valley Blues album, released late last year via Auburn Records. The video was directed by Venomin James guitarist Joe Fortunato.

"With this video, we try to visualize the Venomin James sound, and the atmosphere that surrounds our home base in Kirtland, Ohio", says Fortunato.

"To do so, we researched the esoteric, occult history of Kirtland, and incorporated imagery to tie into some of the better known legends. Our goal was to give the viewer the same feeling of uneasiness that they would get from wandering around the landmarks and fringe areas. The video references several historical events, including the Lundgren/Avery Kultland Murders of 1989, the construction of the first Mormon temple in 1833, Dr. H. Crowe and his WWII eugenics research with the so-called Melonheads, and a number of child abductions and murders that occurred in the area. We pay tribute to several classic horror films with the look and visual style, and kept some imagery intentionally vague, for anyone that might want to dig further. If someone asked me to describe the vibe of this place, I could show them this video and only be part of the way there..."
