For their "Two Weeks" video, All That Remains have teamed up with director Brian Thompson to present a story that should appeal just as much to "Ghost Hunters" viewers as headbangers.

In the clip, the band's plane goes down, but the energy of the group's music is too strong to disappear. The video intersperses haunting performance video with shots of a girl who sees the band "Poltergeist"-style in a TV and paranormal investigators attempting to track All That Remains' ghostly presence.

"Two Weeks" is one of the most melodic tracks on the band's new album Overcome, which came out September 16. "This is the first time All That Remains has done a song that is more singing than screaming," singer Phil Labonte told HeadbangersBlog.com. "In fact, the screaming that is on the song is pretty quiet and the melody is the primary focus. But I'm so happy with this song, I can hardly put it into words. All That Remains is the band that is probably gonna surprise you every disc and this song is one of the surprises on Overcome. The video is awesome. It's sharp n' clean and it's actually [guitarist] Oli [Herbert's] favorite out of all our videos."

Here's another HBB Blog Exclusive for you. It's a "making of" clip for the Symphony X video for "Set the World on Fire":

In case that wasn't enough for you, here's some commentary from guitarist Mike Romeo:

What’s up, everybody. First off, I’d just like to say how excited me and the guys are about Headbangers playing our video. We’ve been plugging away with the band for a little over 10 years, and when cool things happen, it really feels like we are realizing our dreams. It's been a steady uphill battle. We started in the mid-'90s at a time when everyone said metal was dead and nobody was interested in really playing guitar anymore ( hell…or even tuning it, for that matter). So, we began slowly building a loyal fan base, releasing our CDs and touring -- first in Japan, then South America, then Europe. Being an American band, it kinda sucked not being able to make a lot of headway here in the States. But metal is what we grew up on and that's what were all about. And we stuck to our guns.

Over the past few years, seeing this resurgence of metal (and all the different styles of metal) at home has been a really great thing. And every genre has something different to offer -- speed metal, prog metal, death metal, black metal, metalcore, melodic metal -- they all have their own thing going on. But for the most part, everyone is influenced by the same bands (or bands that were influenced by the same bands) that we had growing up (Priest, Maiden, Sabbath, Slayer, etc...). Like I said, it's awesome to see all these different metal bands getting heard. For a long time there was so much crap music out there (unfortunately, there still is), but in the metal world, this is how we do it. Let's wake these motherf---ers up out there and show 'em what it’s all about.

On another note, the "Set the World on Fire" video was one of the first two videos we ever shot (along with "Serpent’s Kiss"). We flew over to Serbia for the video shoot. I gotta admit, it was a bit unusual walking in and playing the tunes in front of a bunch of green screens without knowing exactly what is was going to look like. But we were confident in the production team and we're totally cool with the way it came out. Being our first video ever, we couldn't ask for more.

Thanks Mike. Now, the full video for "Set the World On Fire":
