Oklahoma-based alternative metal band Nova Riot has released a new music video for “Midnight Coven Crush.” The visually striking and provocative clip was directed by frontwoman Nova Ray. It serves as the second visual preview from the group’s upcoming debut full length album.

Operating out of Durant, Oklahoma, the trio describes their specific sound as bubblegum metal, blending heavy hard rock instrumentation with accessible, melodic hooks. Thematically, “Midnight Coven Crush” explores the reclamation of bodily autonomy and challenges societal stigmas. The accompanying music video visually reinforces these concepts by placing its characters in positions of power, utilizing horror inspired aesthetics to deliver an unapologetic narrative centered on taking control and rewriting traditional roles.

The new single serves as the latest addition to the band’s current release cycle as they build toward their debut full length album, Blood, Lies & Lullabies. The seven track record, produced by Braxton Henry alongside co producers Addison Ray and Paris Pipkin, is scheduled for release later this summer on August 21 via Eclipse Records.
