random music video

i was watching tv as usual and came across this music video from a band that i remembered seeing briefly in a magazine about 2 months ago. i stopped just to make sure i had not seen it wrong the first time, but it was true. the lead singer does in fact look like Riff Raff from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. he is not only old but he is balding with long hair on the sides. i was mesmerized by this. it is a heavy metal band so a lot of the lyrics are lost to me but what i did catch was the imagery that flashed by. at first i thought that i was seeing connections that were not there but as the video progressed it became clear that is was a homage to Sam Raimi. there was a lot of objects from Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. from a chainsaw to zombies to a mounted deer head, even a clock with fast moving hands and of course a cabin in the woods. i could not believe what i was seeing. i enjoyed the thought behind it but did not like the video at all. there was no story, just a bunch of references thrown together that failed to catch the awe of the movie.

the band turned out to be called Strapping Young Lad. i forget the term but it is one of those things that is funny because it is the complete opposite of what it really is.
