DJERV have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Rebel Heart, is the brand new single from the Norwegian rock duo and follows on from their previous single, Enemy, which was released back in December 2022. The new single was used as part of the official soundtrack for the Netflix series Arcane.
The series is based on the League Of Legends game universe, one of the world’s biggest video games. Rebel Heart marks DJERV‘s second collaboration with League Of Legends, following the song Get Jinxed from 2014.
Detailing the song’s accompanying music video, percussionist Erlend Gjerde shares, “the video was shot in an equestrian hall in Trondheim. It was two long and insanely cold days, especially for Agnete, who was covered in wet clay for most of the shoot. Helmet arranged for heating tents and everything, but it was still cold AS FUCK.”
The video’s setting is a dark and dusty landscape, which eventually erupts into intense flashes of red and green lights. The typography and architecture are inspired by Arcane, with multiple nods to the universe.
Vocalist Agnete Kjølsrud has also been inspired by creating music for the game, the series and not least the character Jinx. She says, “it’s wonderful to feel the presence of Jinx again! I feel like I’m holding her hand in Rebel Heart. A hidden part of me is totally uncompromising, and in this song I feel a kind of freedom, even though the sadness is imminent.”
Erlend continues, “we wanted to convey a lot of energy and intensity while reflecting Arcane and the League Of Legends universe that the song is tied to. It feels great to finally release a proper video, even though the single came out a little while ago. A single release doesn’t feel truly complete until the music video is out as well, so we’re excited to share it with the world!”
