It’d been 35 years since Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler of Black Sabbath had made an album together, and this video marked their triumphant return. This Nietzsche-approved music video utilizes existing footage from the controversial and politically-charged trilogy film series Zeitgeist, by Peter Joseph, who served as director. More of ...
What’s better than Dave Mustaine losing his mind in a music video? Multiple Daves going crazy in the video for “Sweating Bullets”, off Megadeth‘s commercial smash, Countdown To Extinction. The video captures Mustaine’s conversational style of singing as he battles all the “Daves” stuck in a prison of their own mind. Supposedly written about a frien...
As the auteur of horror, Rob Zombie‘s visual-arts pedigree and penchant for old creature features allowed him to step into the director’s seat when it came to crafting his own metal music videos. After going solo in 1998, he made his video debut with a phantasmagoric vision for “Dragula”, off his hit album Hellbilly Deluxe. Racing along in a car fr...
Just as the occult is a concurrent theme in metal, ancient Egypt is equally a subject of fascination. Look no further than Iron Maiden’s Powerslave cover, Metallica‘s “Creeping Death” and Dio’s “Egypt (The Chains Are On)”. For their first official music video, Slayer went to the source itself and, through a series of bribes and good fortune, found ...
Even during the early era of MTV, it seemed almost like a rite of passage to get your video banned on the network. Everything from Queen‘s promo for “I Want To Break Free” to Megadeth’s “A Tout Le Monde” fell foul of the censors, so it came as no surprise when Anthrax‘s video for their hit “Madhouse”, which depicts the band as patients moshing in a...
One of the most beloved songs in heavy metal history, with an unmistakable opening riff, Dio’s “Holy Diver” is a classic track, featured on their album Holy Diver. The accompanying music video, directed by Arthur Ellis, illustrates the song’s story arc with a Conan-style narrative complete with a sword-wielding quest. Between these vignettes, we se...
With its unforgettable chilling riffs and lyrics, the anti-war track “One” is not only pivotal to Metallica’s catalogue, but to the canon of metal music videos. Directed by Michael Salomon and Bill Pope, the band’s 1989 debut video captured the intensity of the song and immediately grabbed the No.1 spot on MTV that same year. The video intersperses...
Widely known for their provocative lyrics and slightly disturbing (albeit entertaining) metal music videos, controversial East German industrial metal band Rammstein went all out for “Mein Teil”, off their 2004 album Reise, Reise. Inspired by the notorious German cannibal Armin Meiwes (known as the “Rotenburg Cannibal”), the video depicts all manne...
Choosing the more conceptual route over live footage, Iron Maiden‘s “Can I Play with Madness” remains one of most influential metal music videos of all time. Shot at Tintern Abbey and the Chislehurst Caves in the UK, the video is like Harry Potter for heshers. The video opens with a white-haired wizardly man gazing into a crystal ball, then cuts to...
While the title implies some kind of groupie gathering, this Pantera hit actually gets its name from an encounter with a fan’s father. The man in question filed a lawsuit against frontman Phil Anselmo for allegedly beating him up after he heckled the band during their opening performance for Megadeth. Anselmo reported that the dad wanted “five minu...
