I honestly hope he is just very successful at trolling. I find him hilarious with the language he uses in his reviews and stuff, but I also get why no one wants to be roasted by their peers
Chicago-based blackened sludge metallers Lord Mantis present a brand new video "Possession Prayer", now available for viewing through the YouTube player below. The track for this unsettling and not for the faint-hearted video clip is taken from the band's latest studio album, Death Mask, released back in April 2014 via Profound Lore Records.
The video was directed by Gretchen Heinel and edited by Abby Noble.

I actually havent,perhaps my omission. Do you know an example?
The most famous example I know, Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson. Video directed by Mehrige himself, since MM asked him to make him one after he fell in love with Begotten:
And when it comes to BDSM, just think harder and you'll have images of chicks in chains/ropes/cages in almost every video ever. Gorgoroth if you really need a name.
During Evoken's live set at Roadburn a couple of years ago they showed an edited version of Begotten for the entire duration as backdrop to the band.
Yeah I think the only fact that we all know/heard of that film is that it appeals a lot to metal musicians/fans, even until now. Not including myself in this, but the myriad of homemade bm videos inspired or using direct clips from Begotten speak just as loud as MM using the actual director for his video.

Well you pretty much said it right there. It's a bleak, disturbing, surrealistic film, probably at or near the peak in that regard and that complements many such themes found among metal bands very well. It's understandable then that it's such a go to for vids, even if it is overused. Some things are cliché for a reason.
