Malmö, Sweden indie/goth artist She/Beast (aka singer/bassist Katja Nielsen) has aired the video for her debut single "The Sadness Will Last Forever".
The song is taken from her debut EP 'In The Depths Of Mistery', set to be released on December 11 via PNKSLM Recordings. Pre-order your copy here.
About a year before she began work on She/Beast material, Nielsen was finally diagnosed with bipolar disorder after over a decade of suffering from it. Music, she says, was a crucial outlet for her to channel the rawness of her emotions, to spill her feelings into words and melodies. “Writing music has always been a coping strategy for me. Feelings get bottled up in a very destructive way if I don’t write a song about something I’m going through.”
The result is a pair of EPs, In the Depths of Misery and This Too Shall Pass; both titles are quotes from Vincent Van Gogh, another artist to have had bipolar, and taken together, they represent the emotional arc of the songs, which encompass despair, resolve and hope
