While searching through different metal genres and example bands, I ran across this band. This video is like it came straight out of American Movie. Please enjoy its awesome badness.

poolcleanersays...This is the BEST (doom) metal video ever produced. Fourth wall breaking and sinister! My favorite era of Candlemass.
The lyrics of the song are played out in the music video and go beyond the fourth wall into the sinister rhythm of metal music itself -- head banging and dancing in place are the effects of an entranced metalhead now "Dancing and singing to my fiddle".
Brilliant song. Brilliant video -- especially in October. *horrorshow
All hail the Messiah Marcolin!

Can't you see the devil in me
Just take a look in my eyes
I will play for you this wicked melody
It's magic will reach for your soul
It burns inside, no place to hide
This strange tune possesses your mind
It comes over you and the nightmare is true
You'll enter the realm of the dark
You are bewitched
You are bewitched
Bewitched, be delight, you'll reach the night
Dancing and singing to my fiddle
So take my hand, and understand
That no one will see you again
You are bewitched
You are bewitched
I am the master of the enchanted tune
I'll play for your joy, for your soul, for you doom
My fingers they dance upon the strings like fire
Weaving a spell of my burning desire
Sing with me, meet your destiny
Set yourself free to the magic
So come with me, my kingdom to see
Believe me you're captured my friend
You are bewitched
You are bewitched
You are bewitched
You are bewitched
