The old gag goes "We have both kinds of music here - Country and Western". Well, I don't usually have a lot of time for either.  This song is an exception, and it was always a crying shame it never got a decent video, until 19 years later, when a band that I also rarely have a lot of time for did a cover.  And the confluence of genres, song, band, and video combined to create something vastly greater than any one of the parts. Enjoy "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by Primus from 1998.

I am not, as a rule, a fan of metal, but there are some notable exceptions.  There can be no denying, however, that the various metal genres are a rich source of SFF-based music videos. Point in case is this magnificent pastiche of the Sword & Sorcery genre. GoT? Eat your blackened shrivelled heart out in the face of this magnificent video. With no further ado, here is Killswitch Engage and "Holy Diver" from 2006 (covering the song originally recorded by Dio in 1983.)
