Official video for Spiralist's single "The Deepest Abyss", off of his debut full-length album, "Nihilus", out on May the 4th 2018 through Microfome.

Shot in Valongo, Portugal, in the studios of Mestria in late 2017, "The Deepest Abyss" is a long, gritty and metaphorical look at the psychological desintegration that depression and isolation provide. In it, a gracious dancer (the embodiment of the video's themes) unleashes chaos on an artist's work space, spreading black ink across the studio and burning notes of ideas and pictures of happy memories, while the artist holds on to a black dog, in itself a highly metaphorical image.

Directed by the team of Mestria and edited by Mestria and Spiralist, the video features Catarina Soeiro as the dancer (whose performance itself was directed by Marquesa Giraud), blending tradicional dancing with a visceral performance. The video also features Spiralist himself as the artist, and his dog Luna.

The video echoes the album's themes of depression, isolation and anxiety, and serves as the album's ultimate visual statement.
