The new Kreator video, so stupid, so awesome?



by theseseans (NYC)

This is by far the most ridiculous video I have ever seen. Well, at least since that equally ridiculous Lair of the Minotaur video. It's so fucking ridiculous I feel the need to actually tell you about it despite the fact that you can watch it just as easily.

Kreator begins playing in a desolate land, enter large, mostly naked man (seriously, did anyone, ever, ever just walk around looking like this?). Enter second man, fist fight ensues, 1st man losing, finds sword, cuts down 2nd man. Band continue to play. Man likes sword, takes sword to "king" who is conveniently right around the corner. Kills king, cronies, takes woman. Army attacks man. Band continues to play. Man (who has managed to "upgrade" his sword by the way) kills entire army. Look closely for the shot where he actually cuts some dudes arm off. I won't ruin the end for you, you'll just have to watch.



So...was that awesome? I really don't know. Kreator are a very competent thrash band, and the song really ain't bad, but man, that video. Wow.

I agree with you, quite ridicolous, like 90% of the metal videos :)

"Kreator are a very competent thrash band..."

Slight understatement there? Kreator has been throwing down bangers for more than twenty years now that stomp all over anything this "thrash revival" has produced.

true true, they just never really grabbed me for whatever reason. I have nothing against them, and generally enjoy them, just not a band I wanted gush about.
