THE TREND OF GREAT METAL VIDEOS CONTINUES WITH DEICIDE’S “CONVICTION”

Director David Brodsky and animator Tim Kellen have already collaborated on two amazing metal videos, for Suffocation’s “Cataclysmic Purification” and The Red Chord’s “Demoralizer.” Now they’ve re-teamed for the new Deicide clip, “Conviction,” and I think it’s safe to say they’ve really outdone themselves. As is so often the case good music videos, the less you know about it before you watch it, the more you’ll enjoy it — but I will try to entice you by revealing that the clip features a claymation Glen Benton on a motorcyle chasing a claymation Jesus. So, uh, yeah, this is pretty much an instant classic.

“Conviction” appears on Deicide’s To Hell with God, which is out now.
