Here's a couple:

You know those days where you post a new topic when there's already an existing topic that already covers that? Yeah, I just had one of those days...

UPDATE: The hell? When did animemusicvideos.org start requiring membership to download the videos? At least registration is free, but... *grumble*

UPDATE 2: I guess it's been a while, since I guessed correctly that I had an account there already...

Opeth is a Swedish progressive/death metal band who had become one of the few death metal bands that I am able to get into in recent years. But putting them together, even one of their more progressive songs, with Shinkai's movies isn't something I would thought to be even possible. Yet, someone damn nearly pulled it off with this video:

Opeth's lighter stuff tends to be still pretty dark, but I find myself in love with the flow of their music. And the visuals work will with that flow, and the lyrics match brilliantly. I'm just not sure that 5/cm is "dark" enough for the song, but I'm warming to it.

I haven't really looked at Opeth but I do like some prog/death/sludge metal. My favorites are Neurosis, Gojira, The Ocean Collective and Isis.

On a completely different tangent, this is one of my favorite videos:
múm - Green Grass of Tunnel. Beautiful animation.

I feel some of you may not be able to appreciate this song and video in the same way I do, as it is a very British thing. But the use of old cameras and the purposefully, and meticulously, aged audio makes this song and video (that was only released a matter of months ago) feel decades old. Real art.

This, however, is just inspirational. The music and video. As one comment says; "This music video reaffirms my faith in mankind." When it comes in properly, out of the intro, at 1.44, my jaw never ceases to drop Smile
