Working on the video for Gary Heidnik was an unforgettable experience, but having Jonathan Davis from Korn as part of this journey was beyond anything I could have imagined. His visit to the Dark Place felt almost surreal, as if I had stepped into an alternate reality. Meeting one of my idols in person, someone who has influenced my music and art for so long, was truly a "never forget" moment.

To have Jonathan Davis lend his voice to Gary Heidnik, a track that delves deep into one of the darkest stories of human nature, was something powerful. His unique ability to channel raw emotion and intensity perfectly complements the disturbing narrative of Heidnik, the notorious criminal whose heinous acts shocked the world.

Heidnik’s legacy of horror—kidnapping and imprisoning women in his basement—made him one of the most terrifying figures in true crime history. The song and video are about more than just retelling his crimes; it’s about exploring the psychological darkness that people like him embody.

Working with Jonathan Davis, someone I’ve long admired, on such a personal and intense topic like Gary Heidnik, is something I will carry with me forever. It was a creatively charged, never-to-be-forgotten experience that brought an unexpected but incredible layer of depth to the project.
