Elvis is not dead. Elvis is Death. A bloody journey to save rock n' roll.

The King of Rock reappears in this TVC for MTV Brazil to show that Elvis is not dead, but in fact has become the ‘bringer of death’. Frustrated at the poor state of modern rock ‘n roll, he decides to go on a bloody crusade purging those who stand to cause the most damage to his beloved rock ‘n roll. This includes: Terrible air guitarists, B-grade musicians who make covers of overplayed classics and even karaoke wannabees.
