ROADRUNNER RAMBLINGS
Fresh off of unveiling their list of the “Ten Greatest Album Covers” in Roadrunner Records’ history, the label has now started to count down their “Ten Greatest Music Videos” – and, as is pretty much always the case with these sorts of lists, the results are pretty much guaranteed to cause a stir.
Case in point: Sepultura’s clip for “Ratamahatta” has come in at number ten. Now, I seem to be pretty much the only Sepultura fan in history who doesn’t absolutely adore Roots, but I still think this video, which is like a Brazilian version of something Tool might do, is awesome – certainly more so than any other video on the list so far (they’ve already unveiled the bottom five).
You can check out the rest of the list so far here.
Meanwhile, Cradle of Filth have ankled the label and signed with Peaceville. So that’s another metal band that’s no longer on Roadrunner. I wonder if any of their videos will end up making the list anyway?
