Directed by Rich Lee from the album, Dear Agony.
In contrast to the last rock single movie tie in, Breaking Benjamin received the raw end of the deal and were handed the scraps of the movie advertising budget. The video was filmed in a building that's part of the World Trade Center complex, and that's all there is to it, a big office space with the band performing.
It all ends up being about 80% of shots from the movie, that after watching felt like some sort of Stepford Wives meets I, Robot, clone. Great to see Breaking Benjamin back, but not in this fashion.

Alice In Chains eyeing A Looking In View video
Directed by Stephen Schuster from the album, Black Gives Way to Blue.
Black Gives Way to Blue is the band's first album since the death of vocalist Layne Staley in 2002. William DuVall of Comes With the Fall is the current lead.
A music video bordering on epic length, three distinct story lines are exhibited with all carrying the same underlying theme. The teen suffering from childhood based PTSD has the most constructive method of concealing his pain compared to the other characters. The NSFW female's section has a redemptive quality after she undergoes a self inflicted near death experience. The adult male's final scene on the bed has a whiff of contradiction. Will he bend to his temptations within a room filled with the symbols he used to try and cleanse himself?

Neverdice eyeing Praying In the Name Of video
Directed by Janne Tamminen from an as of yet announced album.
The Finnish band has a quite a lot of free media on their website. All the tracks from the Neverdice EP and the video for Praying In the Name Of are available for download.
The concept for the video, don't judge someone by the clothes they wear, was interesting. Too bad the execution faltered with long shots of the girl driving. They should have hinted at the twist earlier on so as not lose the viewer's interest. Tattoos...

Drowning Pool eyeing Shame
From the album, Full Circle.
After September 11th, their song Bodies was banned from the radio due to fear of bad taste because of the line, "Let the bodies hit the floor". "As an example of things coming full circle, the group was invited to Baghdad by the USO on the fifth anniversary of that tragic day to play the song for a group of grateful, enthusiastic troops stationed there".
The sweeping distortion effect gave the sequences it was used a lot of energy. Keeping the guitar solo section basic, a simple walk off to the side gave the guitarist his time in the light. She's stapling his...
