Every month, Decibel scribe Shane Mehling reviews the four videos that appear in the mag under “Decibel’s Clips of the Month at Metal Injection.” This month, watch picks from Ghost, Coliseum, The Dillinger Escape Plan and a classic clip from Slayer.
Ghost – “Year Zero”

So, pretty much nothing happens in this video. Some ladies of various ages are sitting around a house until Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? shows up to have dinner and that’s about holy shit did they all just take off their shirts? Black bars or no, there are a bunch of now topless ladies in this video and… okay, then they dress up like the band and finish the song until Papa Emeritus throws up his cardinal outfit to show off his big black-barred dick. Well, they sure showed me.
Coliseum – “Love Under Will”

This video also starts out with a girl sitting around, but she does not get topless. Instead she walks. She walks a lot. And a guy also walks. A lot. Like through some streets and into some woods and, wow, this video is really quite walking-based. Even when the dude walks into the water and you think he’s going to drown or do maybe possibly anything else, he just walks back to shore and, hey, she’s walked up to meet him. They should buy a treadmill.
The Dillinger Escape Plan – “When I Lost My Bet”

Alright, we got guts, weird masks, some wings, framed pictures, a girl sleeping in dirt and a gross mouth singing the lyrics. This is pretty much a Tool video except instead of a weird puppet alien, we get a guy wearing a suit with some sort of wicked bloodstache. But close enough. Mute this and put on “Prison Sex,” and it works just fine.
CLASSIC CLIP Slayer – “Raining Blood / Black Magic”

I don’t know what to say about this video except it’s fucking Slayer live, and if there’s anyone who doesn’t understand the gravity of Jeff Hanneman’s passing, this is a pretty fine example. It’s from 1991, one of his many, many years of shredding like a goddamn genius maniac and wearing a promotional longsleeve you know he got for free. Watch this and pay your respects.
We highly recommend skipping out on binge drinking tonight and using that money towards a one year subscription to Decibel Magazine!
