Hypokrit – Music Video by Skye Dahl.
A visually striking fusion of Viking mythology and glam rock theatrics, Hypokrit is an electrifying cinematic experience that explores the duality within us all. Directed and written by Skye Dahl, this high-energy, performance-driven video introduces a newly imagined Norse god—Hypokrit, the embodiment of deception—while weaving in authentic runes, Old Norse texts, and references to the Hávamál.
Inspired by Skye’s personal journey of reclaiming her Swedish heritage, Hypokrit serves as both an homage to the rich history of the North and a rebellion against the forces that seek to suppress identity. With gritty cinematography, bold costuming, and dynamic choreography, the video immerses viewers in a world where ancient mysticism collides with modern rock-and-roll rebellion.
Named one of Metal Hammer UK’s Top Metal Songs of 2024, Hypokrit was also supported by the Live Music Grant from Austin City, further solidifying its artistic and cultural impact. More than just a music video, this project revives the lost art of cinematic storytelling in music, drawing inspiration from legendary visuals of the past while forging an entirely new, unapologetic identity.
