Satin White: Released Official Video For Well-Born
Архив новостей | Русская версия
The first music video from SATIN WHITE's new album BORN, which will be released on May 29, 2025, is titled "Well-Born" and was filmed at Villa Denis in Diemerstein. The song and video exaggerate the decadent madness and often reckless behavior of the nobility, politicians, and influencers of our time. It's a kind of "real-life avatar."
Synopsis: "The abandoned king (Frank Schnitzer, guitar, background vocals), who lives in his own dream world and is accompanied only by his imaginary court jester (Carsten Kettering, vocals, bass), creates his queen (Plastic Queen) from a doll. Outraged by reports and fake news from the media, he tries to avoid reality and devote himself entirely to himself. Guided by his imaginary court jester, the king realizes that behind the waste and splendor lies madness – a cycle that begins anew every day."
The video was produced by Andreas Gemmel and SATIN WHITE. Even before its release on April 10, 2025, at 7:30 PM (CEST), the video was selected for presentation at the BERLIN MUSIC VIDEO AWARDS 2025, which will take place in June (featuring videos by LINKIN PARK and LADY GAGA, among others).
The musical direction of the band SATIN WHITE is in the "rock" genre, with a focus on catchy melodies, groovy rhythms, and recognizable songs. The numerous influences from different genres are purely coincidental and give each song its individuality.
Each song is viewed as a compact and independent work, without focusing on the individual instruments, but rather to create a homogenous overall work.
The meaning of SATIN WHITE is based on the psychology of colors.
The color white represents a new beginning (BORN), unlimited possibilities, and hope for the future. Musically, SATIN WHITE appears fresh and contemporary on the one hand, but on the other, the lyrics, in stark contrast to the music, are rather dark in nature.
Carsten Kettering from Kaiserslautern (Germany) is the former bassist of Ross The Boss (Manowar, The Dictators), who contributed to the songwriting on the albums "New Metal Leader" and "Hailstorm" (AFM Records) as an equal member. With worldwide festival and tour appearances, Carsten actively contributed to the comeback of Ross "The Boss" Friedman.
Carsten played bass for MAJESTY and supported the band live on European tours in 2013. He also appeared as a studio bassist for the album "Banners High" (2013).
With IVORY NIGHT (now HAMMER KING), Carsten released three albums (7-Dawn Of The Night, Machine, The Healing), toured South America with the band, and played at numerous festivals and clubs throughout Europe. Josh Kramer (SAINT) hired Carsten as live bassist for his 2005 "Josh Kramer Of SAINT" festival tour in Germany.
Other projects included BURNING BUSES and MEN OF WAR.
Frank Schnitzer is a guitar teacher, singer, and multi-instrumentalist without a particular musical style. He took his first steps as a rock guitarist in 1995 with Carsten Kettering, which ultimately led him to SATIN WHITE 24 years later. Since then, he has played both as a permanent member and as a guest musician in various big bands, brass bands, cover rock bands, and band projects in Germany, France, and Spain, such as the "fiesta de la cerveza" in Calella and the German Federal Music Festival in Friedrichshafen. Since 2009, he has been a permanent member of the acoustic duo TRUE VOICES as a singer and guitarist.
