DIANNE | After the Storm - the making of VLOG | Part 2/2

Let me give you the ins and outs of the recording of my music video for "After the Storm" through this vlog, part 2/2! For which René, Zora, Robin (from Blackbriar) and I went to the beautiful 'Mullerthal' near Echternach, Luxembourg.
Enjoy and feel free to leave a comment 👌
✧
"After the Storm" (official music video: • DIANNE - After the Sto... ) is Dianne van Giersbergen’s long-awaited first solo single of her upcoming album "Soulward Bound . An album which she will release under her own name “DIANNE”.
“After the Storm” is a song about standing up for yourself and abandoning your position as pawn in someone else’s’ war. It’s symphonic metal, it’s power metal and it’s topped with Dianne’s characteristic, dramatic operatic voice.

This video has the vibes of an exiled queen who has to run away from her enemies through a dark and enchanted forest to save her life before planning her revenge

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Now and that's exactly what the story and lyrics are about! 😃

[@timhutchinson8485]

syncing the song to the parts where you're shown singing in this was a nice touch.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Thank you 🙃

[@SPW1981]

That Puccini part was unexpected, but it gave me goosebumps!

[@TamaraLisaBouwhuis]

Very interesting to see how the video came to life! And much respect for you performing in front of those people. Performing is your expertise of course but I can imagine it being a bit awkward too without a whole band and a stage to back you up. but you handled it perfectly with the singing! A natural born performer! Thank you for sharing this video ❤

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

You're most welcome, I love sharing little behind the scenes footage if I can! And yes, it's a bit weird to sing by yourself, but as soon as I've sung the first note the music just takes me away 🥰

[@BrendonChase_2015]

Hi Tamara, will you do a vocal cover of After The Storm like you did with the orchestral version of BlackBriar's "Until Eternity"? Dianne, check that one out if you will. It's very nice. Cheers from Amsterdam!

[@TamaraLisaBouwhuis]

@@BrendonChase_2015 Thank you! ❤️ I'd love to! But I think I will need a bit more training before I can nail that song!

[@brunomiceli]

Dianne being a queen as always, especially when she starts to sing. What a voice!

I loved seeing you recently woken up and more natural. In this video you look like a movie star. I really liked when you sang a cappella in the cave. Take care my Goddess. 🤘😍😘🥰👗🎤🎶🎵

[@Draises]

So a beautiful voice, from a beautiful Queen ❤❤❤ Nice Video, nice Song. Keep it up Dianne!! Can't wait to hear the Album 🤩

[@temnychodec9569]

Fantastic video 😉👍Dianne 💐

[@riveranaranjo2002]

This woman is impressive.. She has an impressive voice and from what has been seen in the videos, her way of being is also elegant and beautiful. And let's not even talk about her music because otherwise my comment would never end... I have no doubt that she is a metal goddess.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Hey thank you so very much for those kind words! Have you also heard my new single "Unleas the Siren"? I hope you have and that you love it!

[@riveranaranjo2002]

In fact, I already heard it and I loved it. It's fascinating what you can do with your voice along with symphonic metal. You're great!

[@alekseyshevelyov9244]

Interesting to see the filming process. The cape suits you so well, you are like an enchanting vision of the ghost of the Lady in Blue.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Oooh I love that cape too!!! Absolutely do!

Great vlog Dianne! And great locations !!

[@BartdeBoisblanc]

Such a great behind the scenes and kudos to clothing designer it has the quality of old and new. The point where you take the armor off is a symbolic casting away what came before.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

That is exactly it! Thank you for getting the meaning behind it :)

[@WardDorrity]

Exiled or not, you reign as queen. Just stunning, especially the bit of Puccini.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Aw thank you @@WardDorrity ❤️

[@WardDorrity]

@@DiannevanGiersbergen Fun fact - I first discovered Floor while listening to great opera performances - she also sang O Mio Babbino Caro and she just blew me away. Oh, my gosh! You, my dear are in the same league, and I don't say that lightly. Your tone colors are different, but I can't get enough of either of you. Please take good care of yourself. I'm 73, and I hope to listen to you as I turn the final pages of the last chapter of my life.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Floor is a great vocalist and on top of that a very kind soul too. I totally see why you love what she does@@WardDorrity, happy to hear it!

[@PW_Thorn]

👍now I have to look again to the music video😂❤

[@norbertoestrella1984]

Your voice is so beautiful, i can´t wait to hear the full album.

[@michaelmascola1314]

I love this song, and I love this video, I'm a new fan of yours !

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Well then please know that I am happy to have you here: welcome on my channel and to my music!

[@Dlnqntt]

There is something elegant, beautiful, and royal about a woman in a cloak and hood. The entire ensamble complemented the song perfectly, and your performance is top notch! Hoping that one day I can see you perform in the U.S.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

I would love to return to the USA, let's see if it's in the card for me. Thanks for the compliments about the cloak! I loved wearing that, also made me feel royal!

[@Victour1989]

Now i'd like to go to Luxembourg 😀❤

[@mikewagar22]

I love the second part of this with the vocals, My late wife was a MezzoSoprano with the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra and you and her sound a lot alike. brings my heart a lot of joy. thank you for all that you give to us.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Thank you for sharing that with me Mike, that touched my heart! I'm a spinto/dramatic soprano and indeed, my voice type has a lot of similarities with a mezzo soprano! Thank you for being here on my channel and your support!

[@bella42626]

Dianne tem uma voz linda e incrível! Desejo todo o sucesso do mundo para você e os que estão contigo.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Muito obrigado! Isso é muito gentil da tua parte.

[@MarekMalmanPisarz]

Miejsce, w którym kręcony był teledysk, jest rzeczywiście urocze, powiedziałbym nawet tajemnicze. Oglądając ten teledysk zastanawiałem się nad historią tego miejsca. Jaką funkcję pełniło ono dla ludzi w przeszłości (piszę tu o czymś, co mi osobiście przypomina teatr i scenę (być może mam wybujałą wyobraźnię) :) Mam nadzieję, że kolejne teledyski będą kręcone w równie pięknych miejscach. Jestem pod wrażeniem Pani pięknego głosu i muzyki. Chcę więcej, jak najszybciej!

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

More is coming up! Working on it as we speak! And yes, the scenery is absolutely stunning, even more so in real life. If you can then you should def visit the Mullerthal!

Hello, how are you? I want to know why you didn't stay with the band xandria. I loved your singing and your voice. Will you keep singing songs on your own without being with a band in the future? Is it possible to return to the band xandria or not? I hope for an answer, thank you.

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Hi and thank you for visiting my channel! I left Xandria in september 2017. Please scroll back on my socials or Google my departure statement. I said it all there and then and have my eyes on the future now 😊 (So no, I wont return to Xandria. The band that I left also doesnt exist anymore, the nowadays Xandria is a new formation)

Hello dianne 🤘

[@thefrankperspective4247]

176th view... I'm losing my touch (oh, and I commented on the main After the Storm vid; any chance of CC / Subtitles on the video? I know the lyrics are in the description, but that means scrolling away from the video, and that's no fun lol)

[@DiannevanGiersbergen]

Hahaha let's see, I also would hate for them to distract from the video. Even if they are optional ;)

[@thefrankperspective4247]

@@DiannevanGiersbergen interesting… hadn’t thought of that. I think the ones who would want them wouldn’t be distracted, and those who don’t prolly don’t have the Closed Caption box checked anyway (one thing I love about KZbin is that creators have the choice to upload subtitles strictly as CC, whereas others automatically embed them).
