Greatest Metal Video Ever... So Far


I'm pretty sure most of you mastered the basics of reading, so this title speaks for itself really. Here's a video so ridiculously awesome - or awesomely ridiculous, that's up to you - we decided to create a whole new feature just for similar special occasions.

The point of this new feature is to find the greatest metal video in the history of awesome. The more hilarious/eccentric/ludicrous the video the better...

Current heavyweight champion defending his belt is White Wizzard - Over The Top.


As the song title subtly gave away, this is nothing but pure over the top traditional metal madness. White Wizzard are bringing true heavy metal to the wild wild west... but how! You really need to see this to believe it. This video/piece of art/cause of recurring nightmares is as epic as they come. A pinnacle of cheese. Wrong on so many different levels. But you know what, in a strange way, I totally dig this particular travesty.

Interesting piece of trivia: the clip is directed by Dave Vorhes. The same guy who shot the other over the top White Wizzard gem "High Speed GTO" [video], which won the "Best Music Video" trophy at the 2008 Action on Film Festival. Ahh.

White Wizzard's debut Over the Top was released on February 8th in Europe and will be available in N. America on March 9th.





White Wizzard - Over The Top




In celebration of this new feature and to set the mood right - and because I have absolutely no friggin' idea what else to do with the following video - here's a little bonus for ya. By watching it, you'll understand why Vision is easily my new favorite all-girl metal band. These chicks know how to rock!





Vision - Bury You Alive




[If you found these videos devastatingly unfunny and/or painful to watch, and think you can do much better, shoot a private message to Thryce with your suggestions for next time's edition (coming soon). Videos preferably as recent as possible!]

White wizzard: OH NO! ELEVATOR MUSIC!!! nice video, really. altough the music sounds way too much like iron maiden (IM is cool, but copying isnt), except for the solos, which are pretty nice.

vision: old school, even with out of sync sound. somewhat reminds me of nirvanas in bloom video.

but to be honest...nothing tops the grim frostbitten ridiculousness of........CALL OF THE WINTERMOON!!

This is more of a regular new feature rather than news. Stay tuned for more.

No way these are the best Metal videos...
They might be funny-ish... But i seriously think you should reconsider which is the "best" metal video.
My choises would be: Down with the Sun. By: Insomnium or From Afar by: Ensiferum.

White Wizzard video was awesome although the song is kind of boring. I liked Vision though, too bad you dont have a page for them.

The WW video is good, but imo they need to dial back a lot on the Maiden and Priest influences, FFS one of their songs on the debut album has the main riff lifted from Desert Plains by Priest only played twice as fast. you know which..

The White Wizzard video is awesome, it fits perfectly a song called "over the top"


The music is also great... WW looks like a promising band
They sound like a mix between Iron Maiden and Dio-era Black Sabbath

Umm I think it's Randy Rhoads, not Laiho.
