In a surprise upset, Kenosha, Wisconsin quartet Lazarus A.D. have topped Bring me the Horizon and Slipknot to win this week's "Your Vote Counts" and return to the next episode of "Headbangers Ball," which airs Saturday at 2 a.m. on MTV2. The band's video "Thou Shall Not Fear" was shot in Milwaukee at the haunted venue Eagle’s Ballroom and was directed by Jason Meudt and Emmet Austin.
"Slipknot has a super-sweet-ass video, but everybody and their mother knows that name so they don't need more air time," wrote Mrsaucytrousers. "My vote is for Lazarus A.D. The people need thrash and they can give it to them."
"That off-beat cymbal in the begining? Chillingly beautiful. Not to mention the solo," added Engage What Remains.

According to their record label bio, the motto of Kenosha, Wisconsin band Lazarus A.D. is "thrash or die." So, the dude's must be totally stoked that they're about to hit the road with thrash legends Testament and post-thrash demigods Unearth. The tour launches in Seattle on May 2 and runs through June 15 in San Luis Obispo, California. Lazarus A.D. are currently in the middle of a tour with Amon Amarth, Goatwhore and Skeletonwitch. Those dates run through April 29 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
