I played the role of The Empress for danish deathcore band Hanging The Nihilist’s music video for their single ’Inevitable Dissent’ off their album ’To The Sound of Madness’.
Two days of intense character work and lots of fun went into bringing Alex Hall’s cinematic and creative vision to life. I got to read the sneak peek of the novel Alex wrote to learn more about the character, her motivations and emotions. Yes, an actual novel, which is also out as an audiobook!
The video was filmed, directed and edited by by Adam Koch of Based Productions.
An absolute champion and one-man-army whom I will recommend anyone to work with!
We shot at two historic locations in Denmark, the old WW1 fortress at Mosede made the perfect, claustrophobic set for the dungeon, while Højerup gl. Kirke brought to life the throne room. This unique location is an old medieval church, partially crashed into the sea off the cliffs of Stevns Klint. Very spectacular!
It was a joy bringing the beautifully written character of Erisey to life for the video. Two super intense days of shooting with an extremely dedicated band was a huge inspiration to work with.
Fun fact:
Alex was a special guest for the Ethereal Kingdoms 2020 livestream SLAY HOME SLAY SAFE, bringing his inhumanly brutal vocals for this live version of our song Apparition.
