Metallica Return To The Trenches
All I can say is that the video for Metallica’s “The Day That Never Comes,” with its bleak fog-of-war atmosphere and its suspended tension, really does stir the imagination of what a hot, seemingly endless day on the front lines of battle is like. Of course, the part of me that had to pause the video about three times in order to slog through all of its eight minutes wonders if that’s due to the song being kind of overlong. (I mean, shit, even the similarly themed, much more depressing “One” video had a radio edit for the short-attention-spanned, and that was back when our ability to focus on things hadn’t been moth-eaten by the Internet, you know?)
