Multi-expressionist artist Alexander Blackstar has released a video for the track, “Emerge from the Dark.” His new record, Stellanera, is set to be released November 26. If you’re not familiar with Blackstar, his music and aesthetic are a legacy of shock rockers like Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, and Ozzy . As a descendant of several generations of painters, Blackstar strives to make the connection between words and visuals in his art.
Blackstar comments:
“The music video was shot in three different locations in Morocco: an oasis, the Sahara desert and in a village especially made for a movie studio…these places are usually used for shooting the scenes of big American blockbusters like Gladiator, The Last Temptation of Christ or even the show Games of Thrones. I flew a part of my personal team to North Africa, and we’ve worked with an executive production over there on the making of this unique project. It truly was a very enriching experience for me.”
Blackstar adds:
“Lyrically, this song sums up the different points attached to my ambition as a young rock artist and what I’m willing to do in order to get where I want…Even if some people could think the opposite, I am very determined to make the difference, whatever the cost is. I consider my career as an odyssey, where each project is a new test to pass through, making me more experienced and closer to reaching the accomplishment of my objectives, my own personal Olympus. Of course there will be some difficulties, but who took the sea and never knew some storms?”
