“Growing up on MTV, I was obsessed with the Hollywood lifestyle and the people on the screen who lived it,” Chopper says. “Sex, money, murder, all of it. I wasn’t part of that world, I was just watching it. I wanted to give up everything to become just that. New Body is about crossing that line. About stepping into that version of yourself, for real.”
Fast becoming one of Denmark’s most unpredictable underground live acts, Chopper has been selected to shut down the festival’s Gehenna stage on June 27, a slot typically reserved for projects capable of leaving a lasting mark. “New Body” marks a direct escalation of scale and excess, with Chopper leaning fully into a role he was always meant to play.
Released alongside a striking music video, “New Body” pulls viewers directly into Chopper’s feverish universe. Visually explosive and deeply unsettling, it unfolds like a distorted childhood memory, with Chopper pushing the construction of identity to the point of no return, creating a version of self that once existed only as projection.
Chopper is the playfully dark and danceable project of Danish artist Jonatan K. Magnussen. A tragic pop idol caught between glamour and decay, he operates within a feverish blend of post-punk, industrial glam and disco noir.
In the past years he and his band The Gang of Chopz have toured across Europe, sold out shows in Denmark. This summer culminates in the project’s biggest live moment to date, with Chopper closing Copenhell 2026 on Saturday June 27 at midnight on the Gehenna stage.
