Mark Lanegan - Emperor

Music video by Mark Lanegan performing Emperor. HEAVENLY RECORDINGS on facebook: Mark Lanegan Band are currently on an extensive European tour and today release the video to ’Gargoyle’ track, ’Emperor.’ Director Joshua Lipworth says of the video: “The story is based on the desperate final hours of a dictator ousted by his own people and loosely based on the fall of Ceausescu, the Romanian dictator. Firmly in denial of his desperate circumstance, he marches steadfastly towards his tragic demise. His grip on reality faltering with every step. The video was shot in 16mm on location in Estonia. Predominantly in the suburbs of Tallin and the deserted underwater soviet prison camp of Rummu.”
