+86K views in its release weekend!! Go "Phantom of War"!!🔥🪓

This is my OOOOH-what-is-happening-face! My new music video for "Phantom of War" has stormed in with more than 86K views in its first weekend!

To see my powerful battle anthem embraced with such force is more than I ever dared to hope for. Your shares, comments, reviews (keep them coming!) and love lifted this release into the skies and I thank you from the bottom of my heart! 💙

But before your support sent it soaring, an incredible team of people worked tirelessly to bring this video to life. Without them "Phantom of War" wouldn't look & sound nearly as epic! So here's a massive shoutout to:

.. René Patrick Boxem, Zora Cock and Robin Koezen from Blackbriar/Cinebuds for creating this cinematic masterpiece!

.. the fierce warriors of Springlevend Verleden, who went to war (and beyond!) for me!

.. and Joost van den Broek - producer extraordinaire - for embracing my vision and crafting all DIANNE music with me from start to finish.

Let's give them all a big round of applause, becaue YES: teamwork truly makes the dream work!

Much love,
Dianne.

You’ve all been talking about it.. and rightly so! It’s striking, bold, dramatic… but more than that: this black dress represents something!

In the upcoming "Phantom of War" video, the black dress isn’t just a costume. It symbolizes the phantom, the silent figure shaped by pain, betrayal and survival. Not the villain, but the victim.

Wearing black in this context isn’t about fashion. It’s about power reclaimed. It’s about walking through the aftermath of someone else’s war and refusing to be destroyed by it.

With black being the color of symphonic metal - the thread that connects us all - I feel truly strengthened and supported by you all. Thank you so much 🖤.

So... who's ready to see this dress in action in another teaser? It’s coming your way this Friday!

"Phantom of War" – the story continues! And yes, I’m all smiles because of it, but not for long..

Remember that pine forest I vanished into at the end of "The Elders' Call"?

That’s exactly where "Phantom of War" begins and trust me, what happens next will wipe that smile off my face real fast..

Stay tuned: first video teaser coming soon!

PHANTOM OF WAR || Out Oct 24, 2025 🔥

'Phantom of War' tells the story of how I became entangled in someone else’s war against themselves - a fight I never chose, but was thrown into nonetheless.

I was left with two choices: do nothing and be defeated… or stand up and fight back in self-defence. Which I did..

'Phantom of War' is a song about survival, bravery and standing up for yourself.. "Your fight, not my fall"!

If you too are in a fight that isn’t yours.. let this song be your battle cry! ⚔️

The stunning artwork by @teradiamart captures the moment I pick up the axe, still shaken and baffled, but ready to strike back.

'Phantom of War' is a real-life story from my more recent past, turned into a powerful anthem. It is the sixth song from my symphonic metal solo album 'Soulward Bound' and features..

Featuring..
Francesco Paoli  (‪@FleshgodApocalypse‬) on growls | Jord Otto on guitars |‪@siebesol‬on bass | Ivo Maarhuis on drums

Music produced by Joost van den Broek

Music video produced by Cinebuds / ‪@blackbriarmusic‬

With all the amazing musician reveals, you'd almost forget… I’ve been in the studio too! 😉

At SandlaneRecordingFacilities, I laid down the vocals for #DIANNE6 and they’re everything from smooth and lyrical to fierce and brutal - and then some.. 🔥

But wait… I’m not done announcing musicians yet! This Friday, I’ll reveal the final guest artist on this new track.

Got any guesses? Drop them below and stay tuned to see if you’re right!

There’s no DIANNE without producer Joost van den Broek and no DIANNE6 without the solid foundation laid by drummer Ivo Maarhuis (‪@FloorJansenOfficial‬ @foriamking)!

So happy to have these two metal gentlemen by my side for the next chapter of my solo album "Soulward Bound".

Who do you think will join us on the new track?
