BECAUSE WHEN I’M STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SWAMP, I USUALLY READ WAR AND PEACE

Dude, I’m not ragging on Cryptopsy because really I have no strong feelings about this band one way or the other, but what is up with their video for “The Pestilence That Walketh In Darkness (Psalm 91:5-8)?” I get that it’s about a psalm – I mean, it does say it right there in the title, after all – but why the fuck is this dude standing in the middle of a swamp reading the fucking Bible?

Also, can we have a moratorium of people rolling their eyes into the backs of their heads in a metal video? I don’t think that shit has been scary since The Exorcist.

Okay. So maybe I’m ragging on Cryptopsy a little.
