Aw, c'mon. We would never really strangle a little girl -- unless you didn't put your brains in gear and choose an act from last week to return to the next "Headbangers Ball." You've got a tough choice to make (not the thing about the little girl... we know you're do the right thing). There are some pretty righteous videos in the running, including the Architects "Always," which was an exclusive for the "Ball."
As always, past winners and old videos are not eligible. In other words, pick exclusively from the list below and only select one act. Feel free to include a description of why your choice should win. The best entries will be quoted when we announce the winner. Only one vote allowed per IP address. The polls are open now through Wednesday at 3 p.m. Click "more" to see the list of this week's contestants: Read more...

On Saturday, "Headbangers Ball" aired exclusive television premieres of The Human Abstract's proggy "Processions of Fate" and Toxic Holocaust's thrashy "Wild Dogs." If you liked either, help vote it back for the next HBB. Or choose one of the other new videos from our list below.
Only choose one video from our list. You may think we've forgotten something, but trust us. Not all videos qualify for "Your Vote Counts"; past winners, classic videos and anything we don't like (just kiddin' about that one) are ineligible.
Also, only one selection is allowed per IP address. Voting runs from now until Wednesday afternoon at 3 p.m. EST. May the best band win. Click "more" to see all of this week’s choices: Read more...
When it comes to The Human Abstract, just forget about labels. These guys are much more shredders or prog-rockers. most of all, they're really strong songwriters. The band's new album, Midheaven, abounds with technical musicianship, memorable hooks and emotional vocals that'll keep you thinking long after you've stopped listening.
"It's a concept album, and therefore within the analogy of each song, tells an overall story," says singer Nathan Ells. "[It's] the oldest story of all mankind -- one of unforeseen devastation,
overcoming all obstacles to recover from the setbacks, only to self-destruct our own society in the end."
This week, "Headbangers Ball" will debut the video for the first single, "Procession of the Fates." Click more to find out more from Ells and watch the Internet premiere. Read more...
