'The Sacrifice' is the lead single from Blind Emperor. It speaks about the challenges in life where a groundbreaking decision has to be made and priorities have to be set. In these moments our undeniable true core becomes visible and there will be no more lies. Sometimes our paths lead through struggle and arduous endeavours and sometimes prosperity and fulfilment follows. The track is based around a choir as it guides the listener through precarious soundscapes while strength is juxtaposed with vulnerability. The choir, made up of many voices, was carefully designed from the artist's voice, singing in The Allegorist's self-intended language called 'Mondoneoh'. Its drawn-out and somber pads divulge into cocooning yet vigorous fidelity.
The lead single, 'The Sacrifice', comes with a stunning music video created by the visual artist Pawel Mielnik and directed by The Allegorist. It depicts treacherous, portentous valleys; however, their hazardous nature leads to a shrine in the form of a captivating head within a mountain. The emotion captured in its liquid eyes is enthralling.
The world premiere screening of The Sacrifice will be at the Nottingham International Film Festival at the Savoy Cinema on the 26th September 2021 and won the Best Music Video Award 2021. It was also officially selected for the Berlin Sci-Fi Filmfest and screened at the Babylon Cinema on the 5th November 2021. ‘The Sacrifice’ was Official Selection and screened at the London Lift-Off Film Festival 2021 and Award Winner of Best Music Video at 4theatre. In 2022 `The Sacrifice` was Official Selection and screened in the category Silver Selection Screenings at the Berlin Music Video Awards 2022.
