Now, let's take a quick tour through the videos:

GODFLESH - "Crush My Soul" (from Selfless) This is a simple video featuring the band performing against red and black backdrops. It opens with a cock fight, and features a nearly naked man being strapped to a table. I cannot say that it does much for me, but the industrial guitar rhythm became somewhat hypnotic in its repetition.

DUB WAR - "Strike It" (from Pain) This caught me off-guard. I can honestly say I did not expect reggae-metal. The opening bassline reminded me of something by Urban Dance Squad. This video is pure performance with the band plying near the river in a city (I believe it is NYC). There is not a lot to the video, but I have to admit to really liking the song. It gets under the skin and is near impossible not to groove to.

ENTOMBED - "Wolverine Blues" (from Wolverine Blues) Opening with the Wolverine album cover "Wolverine Blues" quickly moves to the individual members playing with obviously blue-screened backgrounds with what appears to be Video Toaster effects to transition between them.The song is heavy, brutal, and accompanies a very bad video.

CATHEDRAL - "Hopkins Witchfinder General" (from Carnival Bizarre) This video is a bit more showy than what has come before and incorporates video clips from the Vincent Price movie Witchfinder General. The video has the band performing with dead tree cutouts in the back and scantily clad "witches" dancing around. The singer looks like a  transitional figure between Ozzy Osbourne and The Darkness frontman Justin Hawkins. I like the song, and the video is a throwback to the 80s.

NAPALM DEATH - "Greed Killing" (from Diatribes) Quickly changing gears, we jump into the death metal of Napalm Death with a video that seems to be a bit more ambitious than the earlier entries on the disk. It still centers on band performance, but has them being observed, as if in an asylum, by strange be-goggled spectators.

MISERY LOVES CO. - "My Mind Still Speaks" (from Misery Loves Co.) Prior to this video, I had neither seen nor heard of this band before. The sound has a bit more of a hardcore edge to it while still being metal. It, again, centers on band performance, but it weaves in a story of child abuse.

AT THE GATES - "Blinded By Fear" (from Slaughter Of The Soul) Music picks up in speed and intensity with this band performance video. The band is playing in what looks like an old warehouse. I like this. It is in your face and hard to ignore.

CARCASS - "No Love Lost" (from Heartwork) Carcass slows down the tempo, but seems to up the evil quotient. This guys voice is quite creepy and makes my skin crawl a little. Voice aside, the chugging music drew me in to the performance.
