Let us know what you think of the new Disturbed video for "The Night." The clip was directed by Noble Jones (3 Doors Down), who aimed to capture the cinematic starkness and eerieness of sci-fi flicks like "Alien" and "The Thing." Click "more" to watch the vid. Read more...

It's not hard to tell which Nostradamus Quatrain Judas Priest's new video "War" is about. As Jim Morrison sang so long ago: "This is the end/your only friend/the end." "War" illustrates the apocalypse biblical-style with computer animation that looks like an ass-kicking new video game.

The vid features witches practicing magic then being burned at the stake, a tyrannical ruler exerting fascist control, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse storming through the sky, fire spreading across the earth, winged beasts reigning destruction and lots more imagery that would have make Hieronymus Bosch giddy with delight. Priest are nowhere to be found in the clip -- neither in actual nor animated form -- but their operatic new music echoes through the video, creating a thunderous soundtrack for the devastation.

Get to know Nevermore, chew on these fun factoids about the band.

Here is their video for the song "Born":

For their current U.S. tour (which runs through June 3 in Chicopee, Massachusetts), Australian metalcore band I Killed the Prom Queen have replaced singer Edward Butcher with ex-Heavens End frontman, Colin Jeffs.

Butcher left abruptly in February after playing with the band for about a year and recording on their fifth record, Music For the Recently Deceased, which came out in July 2006.

"My reasons for [leaving the band] are personal, but I would like to thank everyone who has supported the band since I've been a part of it," said Butcher in a statement. "

It is currently unclear whether Colin is a temporary or full-time replacement. But regardless of how the lineup shakeup shapes up, we at Headbangers Ball have got mad love for the angst-filled Aussies, and will debut their video for "Say Goodbye" on this weekend's show.

Guitarist Jona Weinhofen told MTVnews.com's Metal File that the clip was shot in Australia with one of the cameras that had been used to film scenes in both "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" and "Superman Returns."

"We shot it in an abandoned quarry, right near the ocean, so there's lots of dingy cliffs and rain involved," Weinhofen said. "There's a bit of a story line involving an attractive set of twin females who're chasing each other around. It's a very vague story line, so people can interpret it the way they'd like."

Pioneering Swedish metal band, Entombed, will release its new disc Serpent Saints -- The Ten Amendments on July 13. The follow-up to last year's When in Sodom EP, the disc is the band's first full studio album since 2003's Inferno.

"Serpent Saints goes wider and deeper than the When In Sodom," said the band in a statement. "It's no concept album, but an ambitious attempt at creating a solid album with some recurring themes -- Almost like the soundtrack to the film with the same name."

The album will be mastered at the end of the month with Soren Elofsson at Cosmos Mastering in Stockholm, Sweden and will feature 10 songs, including "In the Blood" and "The Dead, the Dying and the Dying to be Dead."

Serpent Saints -- The Ten Amendments will mark the band's recording debut with drummer Olle Dahlstedt (ex-Misery Loves Co.), who joined in 2006, replacing Peter Stjärnvind, who had been with Entombed since 1998, but left to concentrate on his other band Nifelheim.

Now here's Entombed's video for "Retaliation."
