Before long, it'll be 2008. That means we'll all be one year closer to our inescapable demise. Will we all die together in a nuclear conflagration, meteor strike or massive tidal wave, or will we drop one at a time like mankind has since the beginning of civilization? Only time will tell and only metal can ease the burden.
But before 2007 leaves us behind and before the hammer comes crashing down, it's time to reminiscne over the best headbanging vids we saw this year. Check out the full list at the MTV2 Headbangers Ball site and vote for your favorites.
Here's another one of our top choices, Machine Head's "Now I Lay Thee Down." The clip was shot in February and additional footage was filmed in August. Mike Sloat directed, working in various locations around San Francisco, but mostly in and around the Regency Center, a theater built in 1909.
According to the band, “The video is a play about a past time in which a strange and grotesque man, who is shunned by society and outcast, decides that he wants to know what it’s like to die. He asks his lover, the only person who cares for him, to take his life. Reluctantly, she does. But then she becomes so distraught and miserable about losing her only love that she decides she must take her own life as well to be with him forever. The play ends with the two lovers together again, at last in the afterlife. The curtain drops and the entire cast bows to the audience.”
No, here's the vid:
