Pellek - "Darker than Black" (video)
Ο PelleK (Per Fredrik Åsly το "κανονικό" ονοματεπώνυμό του) είναι ένας Νορβηγός καλλιτέχνης (μουσικός και ηθοποιός). Τραγούδησε σε αρκετά συγκροτήματα (βλ. Qantice, Damnation Angels, The Anabasis κλπ), ενώ ασχολείται ιδιαίτερα με το κανάλι του στο You Tube όπου "ανεβάζει" διασκευές σε τραγούδια διαφόρων συγκροτημάτων. Το προσωπικό του σχήμα φέρει το καλλιτεχνικό του όνομα (Pellek) κι έχει κυκλοφορήσει τριάντα δίσκους με διασκευές, δύο EPs και πέντε full length δίσκους. Ο έκτος είναι προ των πυλών. Τιτλοφορείται "Absolute Steel" κι αναμένεται σε λίγες ημέρες...
PelleK: «This video was filmed june 7th, 2018, at Screen Media's "Studio D" in Oslo, Norway, and the musicians traveled all the way from the U.K, Sweden, Serbia and the southern part of Norway to be part of this. I wrote the song in the beginning of 2018 and it is one out of eight tracks on my 2018 release "Absolute Steel". I think it's safe to say that this album is the most over the top flamboyant power metal release of the year.
I had to spend 16,000 USD to pay the musicians, producer, camera team, make up woman, location, printing of the CD's etc, and today, two weeks after we filmed it, the kickstarter campaign reached that number. This would've been much more expensive hadn't it been for my good friend Christer Larsen, who, for not a lot of money, has put in over 100 hours on the VFX end, as well as teaching me for hours on end, how to edit these videos in After Effects.
Learning to create virtual worlds, motion track, rotoscope properly, and generally understand how to work in After Effects has been a dream of mine all my adult life, and acquiring that skill set is perhaps the best thing that came out of this entire process. So big thanks to Christer Larsen.
You all of course have my blessing to pirate the album if you wanna give it a listen, but I wanna give an extra shoutout to the people who either backed the kickstarter, or paid for "Absolute Steel" after the release date (July 9th, 2018) in a time where you don't really need to pay for music anymore.»
