Avenged Sevenfold - "Afterlife (live)"
I like Avenged Sevenfold, but I think their latest album was mediocre at best. On the other hand, City of Evil and Waking the Fallen are excellent albums. The band has recorded footage for a live CD/DVD that should be available this fall. To get the early promotion going, a video for "Afterlife" has been released. It looks pretty good, and it appears the band has toned down the glam side of their look.
Municipal Waste - "Sadistic Magician"
It's a little hard to tell if these guys are serious or not. What isn't hard to figure out is that they play throwback style thrash metal, and they are pretty good at it. Their latest video has the band playing in a nuclear power plant that cannot contain the power of the music and goes into meltdown. Fun song, fun video.
Within Temptation - "The Howling"
Prior to seeing this video, I had never heard of anything from Within Temptation. In any case, I like what I hear on this video. It does not sound particularly revolutionary, but it is solid songwriting with a strong singer. I am definitely interested in hearing more.
Paradise Lost - "The Enemy"
My experience with Paradise Lost is somewhat limited, although I have really liked what I have heard. This past fall, I was surprised when I got to see them open for Overkill. This clip is from the recently released The Anatomy of Meloancholy DVD. The performance is quite good, now I want to see the rest of the release.
Megadeth - "Never Walk Alone... A Call to Arms"
2007 saw Megadeth return to form with United Abominations, their strongest album since their heyday in the early 1990's. This is the latest video, and it is a cool song, with a strong performance base, although the CG stuff was not all that exciting.
