"This is the War" is a futuristic thrash blitzkrieg and a great song; sadly, the video itself is a pointless but shiny computer-animated battle between opposing cyborg factions. With no real relation to the music at hand, a stupid climax, and "ultra-violence" obviously tailored for primetime music video rotation this one falls flat.

Thank the forces of darkness then for "Helleluyah!!!(God is Dead)," which is probably one of the most wicked music videos I've seen in ages. The song seesaws between sinister, leering slow verses and whirlwind choruses that stutter and howl with blastbeats and growls; set to a symbolic, creepy, and heavily anti-religious video interjected with amble footage of the band rocking a warehouse, "Helleluyah!" is the cream of the video crop for sure.

Sadly, "Sword of the Witcher" isn't. In fact, it is probably more middling. The song itself is a bit underwhelming, slow-paced death metal being awkwardly combined with bland Dimmu Borgir symphonic effects. Vader rocking a flaming castle in the dark is cool, but frequent clips of game play footage from some poor fantasy videogame take the intensity down a notch. To sum it up, the whole thing coalesces into a sort of media "blah," uninspiring in its insipid decency.
