DJERV Releases Music Video For International Success Single 'Rebel Heart' From The Official Soundtrack Of Netflix Series 'Arcane'

Last Autumn, DJERV released the song ‘Rebel Heart’ as part of the official soundtrack for Season Two of the critically acclaimed Netflix series ‘Arcane‘. What happens when Norwegian hard rock collides with one of the world’s most iconic series? The answer is ‘Rebel Heart’ – a track that created magic in a pivotal and emotional scene in ‘Arcane‘, topping global charts and captivating millions.

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 hit song ‘Get Jinxed’ from 2014.

The band has received massive international attention for ‘Rebel Heart’, and the song has been streamed over 18 million times. Now the long-awaited music video, produced by Helmet, is finally here.

Erlend Gjerde shares details about the filming process:
“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 F%#.”

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!”
