Igorrr’s “Daemoni” music video is a head-spinning descent into darkness, masterminded by director Dariusz Szermanowicz and his team of creative mad geniuses at Grupa 13. This isn’t your average grindcore meets baroque experiment — it’s an unhinged blend of captivating chaos. Right off the bat, you’re thrown into a visually arresting world, where everything oscillates between beautifully bizarre and intensely macabre. The imagery is like your favorite dystopian nightmare, drenched in mood and atmosphere that refuses to play by the rules. You can practically hear your inner goth teenager screaming in delight.
Now, let’s talk music. Gautier Serre, the mastermind behind this peculiar concoction, delivers a sonic assault with more layers than an overexcited neoclassical guitarist’s pedalboard. Combining Martyn Clément’s blistering electric guitars with the haunting throat singing by Dmitry Tarakanov, the sound is both eclectic and electrifying. It’s the kind of music that rips through the mundane and plants you firmly in the strange and wonderful realm Igorrr has crafted. This isn’t just a track; it’s a full-on experience — like being at a black mass where Bach, Stravinsky, and Meshuggah are the house band.
Particular kudos go to the dancers, especially Butoh performer Kokoro, a.k.a. Krzysztof Jerzak, who brings an eerie, visceral energy to the visual storytelling. His movements are a hypnotic blend of fluidity and controlled chaos, adding layers of depth to the track’s dark theatricality. Choreography by Daria Jasińska is both unsettling and mesmerizing, perfectly complementing the music’s unpredictable antics. The dancers from Modern Studio Wrocław put the “art” in “dark art.” If this doesn’t make you reconsider the boundaries between performance art and metal, nothing will.
Give a nod to the unsung heroes behind the scenes. With edits and color work that could only come from a twistedly brilliant mind like Dariusz Szermanowicz, every frame screams painstaking attention to detail. This meticulous craft turns “Daemoni” into not just a music video, but a hellish immersive experience. The production crew deserves a standing ovation — assuming you can stand after watching this fever dream.
So, if you’ve somehow made it all the way here and haven’t clicked to watch, what are you even doing? “Daemoni” isn’t just a track on Igorrr’s new album; it’s the kind of twisted masterpiece that reminds you why you signed your soul over to metal in the first place. Get ready for goosebumps, gray matter-pounding riffs, and maybe a touch of existential dread. It’s pure Igorrr: as if your nightmares developed taste and started a symphony orchestra. Enjoy the maelstrom.
