We think we can say it is the biggest heavy metal video ever produced.For 2 days over 200 people worked around the clock on the set shooting scenes including over 100 actors that were directed by Jacek Raginis and produced by Bogna Janiec of Studio Filmowe N production company.
Production was supported by first assistant directors Michal Ozi Ozierow and Jacek Spychala and chiefs of reenacting groups Tomasz Karasinski (Radoslaw 44) and Marek ?ukasik (Pomerania).
The music video also includes famous actors such as Peter Stormare [Sweden, US] and Mateusz Dami?cki [Poland], Monika Buchowiec and also featured a special appearance by General Waldemar Skrzypczak of the Polish army.
The premiere show of the new video is scheduled to be on August 1st, which is the anniversary of the start of The Warsaw Uprising in 1944.
A big thanks to everyone involved in this project and special thanks to SKOK Group and its producer Mariusz Wielebski, who made this video possible.”
