We’ve teamed up with neo-opera vocalist Ayin Aleph to bring you the exclusive music video premiere for her new single “Crystal Ball”, which was directed by Denis Sobolev.
Aleph trained at the Moscow Conservatory, the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and the European Conservatory in Paris. She uses this training to bring a new dash of flavor to her baroque cabaret rock/metal mix, which is as unique as it sounds! If you’re a fan of bands like Nightwish, Epica, or Within Temptation but with a touch of Emilie Autumn or Amanda Palmer, this is definitely going to be right up your alley.
“Crystal Bell” can be snagged via iTunes. Her previous music can be found via Bandcamp.
Ayin tells BD:
“Crystal Bell” was born in a moment of realization that we spend our lives searching for love while despising the ones who love us. The video marks a turning point of the visual and musical expression of Ayin Aleph. Blurring the lines of fantasy and reality, the video portrays Ayin as an array of extravagant female archetypes – a sexy 50’s pin-up character, an opera singer, a victim of drowning symbolizing love, a sexy vintage casino manager getting killed after a fight, and beyond. The video was shot in three days in Los Angeles with different cinematographers, notably because of the technical requirements of underwater filming and drone shots. Pulling together this profusion of elements with the amazing editing support of my drummer Shad Wilhelm was a challenging and tremendously rewarding experience!
