One metal video, per user, per week, old or new.
Thems the rules. Don’t want to completely jam the forum.
I like the nod(dy) to 60’s freakbeat in the vocals:
I'm game.
Progressive Metal
Bit of an obvious one, but good nonetheless:
How dull are metal videos? Mime in a gritty location or live doing your day job. Where's the pizzazz? where's the story? where's the doing anything interesting?
Where indeed?
Some of my favourite black metal pandas, having a jolly time
OK, something with a story.
I'm not entirely convinced anyone else on here would appreciate my addition judging by some of the above!!!
The first 'metal' albums I bought were Slippery When Wet and Final Countdown*. Gateway albums for me, though I'd credit Walk this way by Run DMC and Aerosmith as being the pilot light.
* Lack of cred is a burden I shall bear.
Quite apt with the current world problems. As covers go, it's one of the best.
Where the like button!!
I don't know how to embed a vid but if you want a video with a story check out Jinjers song Home Back.
Harsh vocals in places and the video shocks as well
The band are from Ukraine and this is their story of wanting their home back.
Can someone kindly add it 🙂

One of my all time favourite bands, and their videos certainly aren't dull
Probably the first metal I got into as it was new and just coming out, rather than catching up on old stuff... Still sounds fresh as a daisy imo 28 years later.
(I'm old and grumpy and tbh I've not heard any recent metal that I think wouldn't have sunk without trace in the 90s... But this thread's good.)

The OP has great taste! GNOME FOR THE WIN! They're Belgian! Who doesn't like a bit of Belgian?!
There's some great stuff up there and some I've never heard of but will likely have a look at the others later.
I um'd and ah'd over lots of things and this is by far the lightest (it was competing with SOAD, Alice in Chains and White Zombie amongst others) and it's probably a little light to be considered truly "metal" against most of this company but this is one of those songs you could dismiss as being just another "movie theme rock song" and then you just catch what it's really about and how nicely written it is and how carefully the video's been crafted.
I'll deliver something more thumping next week 🙂
Thank god no one has posted any Baby Metal
This is a band I’ve become rather fond of:
And this one:
And I couldn’t possibly leave out Opeth.
I’ll post some of my usual stuff next week, but having spent a few days on their tour last weekend it would be remiss not to post something from Mushroomhead
Another dull metal video
That Igorrr video was very enjoyable
Were Mushroomhead signed by the guy that failed to sign Slipknot?
Great thread!
And so many good songs thus far!
My offering is the heavy hitting Brand Of Sacrifice.
Enjoy….
Seeing Ohne Dich from Rammstein up there it reminded me of this delightful tune:

Blink always struck me as... honest? Genuine? Just three talented kids having a blast.
Which reminds me of these noisy bastards,
Can't really not include some early pioneers of what a lot of the above gives a healthy nod to.
Remember going to an all-dayer at the Birmingham Hummingbird with Napalm Death, Bolthrower, Morbid Angel, Carcass etc...
Good times.
This is a mere 33 years ago..😳
