I've been battling depression and self-harming thoughts for most of my life. An introduction to heavy metal a few years ago, combined with creativity, surrounding myself with loving people, and having a relationship with God, changed my outlook on life in a positive way. Healing is a journey, not a destination. During this time, Demon Hunter became my go-to band for their diversity of tempo and melody, relatability, and hardcore honesty in their lyrics of lamentation.
I hope my artwork moves you to begin your own journey of healing. I will warn you that my artwork can be emotional, dark and disturbing; this piece is no exception.
The song used for the background track is "Heaven Don't Cry" from the "Exile" album; released October 28, 2022.
This project was made for therapeutic and artistic purposes as an unofficial, fan-made tribute video for Demon Hunter. Payment, endorsement, and sponsorship were not collected for the making of this video.
