Finally!!! 
EDIT:
DIO! I just saw the video, and well, it is more than worth the wait!!! It's really good, and I'm not being subjective here. The effects are really stunning, and I love that it is in black and white, but still has some "colour" parts!
To be honest, this is one of the best videos I've seen!
Magnificent!
PS: Thanks for uploading it Ms. anthrope!

You're welcome

I really dig the black and white, too. When the camera pans in on the solos, it's so crystal clear!

^ Agreed! I really like the part when Chuck's face changes to a skull, quite the scare . And is he wearing a Sadus or Sodom shirt? It seems like one of those two, but I can't really tell. I guess it's probably the first though.

I really dig some parts, but I don't like that grey background while they're playing.
And it's Sadus indeed =D

Fucking Awesome! Fucking Awesome! Fucking Awesome!!
I didn't realize the second solo was Eric..badass!
I thought this was a concept video I guess I'm not understanding the symbolism of the volcano and the bats?

I really like the video, badass!
Nice effect, especially during alex and erics solo...the "computer animated yellow/grey-metal wall" did't really fit though...
can't wait for the next video=)

I too was surprised at Eric's solo. The video looks good. My only complaint is the bats, I couldn't help but think of Batman the whole time. The dual Bostaph image was cool as well.
I'm not sure there's a real "concept" behind it. What I get is when you feel like you're trapped in a nightmare and you are forced to face your fears...
God, Am I the only one who thinks this video is special effects-overkill? not one single shot without blurring or bats flying around. Definitely not one of the best videos around in my opinion. The song is great, the video doesn't compliment the awesomeness of more than meets the eye. too bad.

Are those sound effects in the Headbangers ball version too? Or just the online one?They were a bit much.

Well, perhaps I shouldn't write it here, but it's bad. I mean, it's BAD. Horrible, if you ask me. I'm a great fan of the band, their new album and this song, but I can't agree with you all here. The clip really sucks, it's hopeless. Trashy, not thrashy. That's a huge disappointment.
The "special" effects are a joke. Like in a C-class horror movie. The fire behind Chuck, the "locus" and the "meteor shower" are hilarious. Very exaggerated. And I fell off my chair when I saw the opening door at the beginning-like from an old, poor computer game.
I like some shots and some (very few) effects, like the lightening during Eric's lead, but the band is hidden by the bats for a big part of the clip, which is very strange. The sound effects is a stupid idea too.
I'm pretty sure that there are thousands of amateurs in each neighbourhood that would do it way better for ten times less money and twenty times faster.
Well, I hope the kids will like it anyway.
I think that if the effects were reduced by 60-70% the final effect could have been better. The video's not half as good as the old vid for Souls of Black, that was very apocalyptic and had a nice atmosphere. This one's very artificial and the atmosphere is comical. Actually, all of the old vids were better.
That being said, I'm very happy it's finally out and hope that despite the quality it will get much airplay and the band will gain new fans through this.
Let's hope the "Henchmen" one will be a lot better. It was supposed to be a concept video, if I remember, so the effects might not spoil it. I hope they manage to have a third video out too, because with such a diverse album it's really amazing that someone chooses to promote it through the two most similar songs.
Don't bash me, that's the way I see it and I've heard opinions like mine from the people I spoke with too. I was really surprised to read all the praise here. Well, I guess people are happy it's finally there. If you like it, probably more people will and that's the way to successfully promote a band, I guess.

yeah. I'm looking forward to Henchemen's Ride too...I hope it's gonna be a metal-as-hell video. With lots of bikes, and lots of headbanging. The way it should be!
