The visual life of Metal with Lotta Ruutiainen & Faye Strässle

Join a panel of video professionals for a deep dive into the evolving requirements of the visual language of Metal. In this session, with LUNA KILLS vocalist and music video director Lotta Ruutiainen, and touring photo- and videographer Faye Strässle, we’ll explore how audiovisual aesthetics continue to shape a band’s identity even in an era of shrinking budgets and algorithm‑driven platforms.

We’ll discuss the creative strategies that keep visuals compelling when resources are tight and attention spans are short. And we’ll try to answer Kiki’s question: will short form video ever replace the music video as the whole “The Visual Life of Metal”?
