As someone who used to love music videos as a teenager (or as they were called in my time, “music penny arcades”) and was sad to watch them become 15-second cannon fodder for Carson Daly’s War Machine in the 1990s, and then be basically eliminated completely from the world for a decade or so, it’s been really nice to watch the Internet become a place where music videos could be distributed and even flourish again. Not only can we enjoy them, but we can enjoy whichever ones we want whenever we want to, which is a huge improvement over programming a VCR (LOL, DU U REMEMBER?!) to record 120 Minutes at 3AM each week and fast forwarding through the Meat Puppets to get to the “Cut Your Hair” video, or whatever. It just goes to show that nothing really dies, and water always finds its level, and something something art. Then again, sometimes, you know, the opposite of everything I just said. (Via TheAwl.)

For how awesome the period costumes are, the band’s wardrobe leaves something to be desired. Other than that I really enjoyed the video. These guys are gonna go far!
No wonder MTV has stopped show videos.
You made an grammar
I get the sense that narrator’s costume was sort of the reason this whole music video was made.
she’s pretty
Goddammit! Right when I thought I was done putting together my top 10 songs of the year list! Any other hidden gems you’d like to drop on us, Gabe?
I guess that new Brokencyde tune gets pushed down to 11 with this one eh? Or is that just my list?
Your Highness looks different than I expected it to
I guess I’m going to have to send this to everyone in my friend circle so they’ll get it when I start saying, “Is it myth. Or is it re-al-i-ty.” with that inflection whenever possible.
Watch out, Game of Thrones!
No wonder they called this song “The King That Never Was”: the government during the time of King Arthur was more of an autonomous collective anyway.

I’m torn. I sort of love this (my goddog’s name is Merlin, and I think I’m naming mine Ged…) but the band…they look and dress…more semi-popular douchebag than “We played metal all high school in our parent’s basement’s, smoked weed, played D&D and then grew up into adults with a sense of humor about themselves but still love this stuff,” with the latter being my highest ideal, with “older, larger, long-haired, bearded semi-adults who just honestly love this thing that they love and are blind to how it appears to society at large” being acceptable, also.
You don’t “sort of love this”. You absolutely love this with all of your heart and soul. That is the correct answer.

And awkward poses.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one recording 120 minutes, though I was usually hoping for “Action and Action” or “Very Emergency”. #emo
Whoops, this is my new favorite thing ever.
Isn’t this basically what all metal is like?
Today I learned that Videogum monsters divide into two groups: Those who love totally serious King Arthur-based metal songs and those who love a white kid in a sweater dancing enthusiastically to Mariah Carey music no one else can hear.
If we are going to begin The Great VIdeogum Civil War: Vol. 13 over this, I’m on the side of the King.
PS. When I tried moving to Colorado for a few months, I was living on Merlin Drive.
“I’m just a boy with a new chain mail coif.” And that’s a pretty nice chain mail coif!
Huh, I’ve always wondered what would happen if my local lacrosse team started up a heavy metal band…
It’s no Shine on Me, but it’ll do.
all kidding aside…this sounds roughly 2 million times better than Brokencyde.
