Hey Beautiful Jerk was approached by Sony Music to concept and direct an animated music video for “HellRaiser-30th Anniversary Edition.” in their epic, psychedelic style that pays tribute to the friendship of Ozzy Osbourne and the dearly departed Lemmy Kilmister.  The recording uses Osbourne’s version of the song and incorporates Kilmister’s vocals from Motörhead’s version, which appeared on Motörhead’s March ör Die album in 1992. Mark Szumski and Gina Niespodziani crafted a horror/sci-fi epic in which the two rock legends beat back an alien invasion with the power of rock and roll and a little dark magic. 1990s anime inspired the video's design and cleverly infused the lore of Ozzy and Lemmy’s careers. With 30+ Million views and counting on YouTube, the video is the most successful for Ozzy Osbourne in the past 20 years.
