Last month, Billy Morrison — the longtime rhythm guitarist in Billy Idol’s band and former bassist for the Cult — released his star-studded new solo album, The Morrison Project, which features everyone from Ozzy Osbourne and Slipknot’s Corey Taylor to Ministry’s Al Jourgensen and Mötley Crüe’s John 5.
The music videos released in support of the album have been star-studded, too: Paris Jackson appears in the video for “Crack Cocaine,” and actor, metalhead and Dungeons & Dragons superfan Joe Manganiello (True Blood, Magic Mike) appears in the desert-set clip for the latest Morrison Project single, “It’s Come to This,” which Revolver is premiering right here right now.
Watch above.
“In the spirit of how this whole album came together, I wanted Joe to have an input into what was behind his character,” Morrison says of Manganiello’s role in the video. “I knew I wanted to interact with some weird, unknown-origin desert dweller. He came up with the idea that he is a collector of souls. And that I was making a deal with him to deliver one particular soul in exchange for the return of mine! So that’s the box that I dig up before I had to his strange desert shack!
“Joe just makes an imposing and scary figure on film, so he was the first and only choice to make that cameo!”
The Morrison Project is available on classic black vinyl at Revolver’s shop, where you’ll also find a a limited-edition, “purple blue recycle mix” etched 12-inch of the single “Crack Cocaine,” featuring Ozzy and Steve Stevens. Order yours!
