Sonic Syndicate bassist injured during video shoot

Karin Axelsson, bassist for Swedish metal outfit Sonic Syndicate is recovering after badly injuring herself during a recent video shoot.

Axelsson was hurt during the filming of the band’s upcoming video, ‘Turn it Up’. In what was already a bizarre scene befitting of a metal video, the bassist was injured while shooting a part, which involved the band being murdered with a guitar by a female actor.

As SMN News reports:

“The accident occurred while shooting a scene where the band is being murdered with a guitar by a “sexy girl”. Karin Axelsson actually got whacked upside the head with the guitar, causing a large laceration as well as a severe concussion.”

Axelsson herself posted the following message following the incident:

“Wow! That’s was one weird experience. What should be a fake kill for a fun video clip nearly turned into a snuff movie. I did not know what was going on. I thought I’d be lying there and then someone would shout “Cut!”. When I got hit I was surprised and shocked at the same time. But I guess my boys were more scared than I was, haha… as of now I still got some serious headache, which sucks and I really don’t know if am gonna be able to play that next show with the band cuz I am feeling dizzy all the time – but be sure I will try everything in my power to make it happen! Love you all!”

Sonic Syndicate’s new album, ‘We Rule the Night’ is due out August 27.
