I Don't Believe in Fairytales and No One Wants to Go to Hell

THE BEAST AND THE HARLOT-AVENGED SEVENFOLD

"She's a dwelling place for demons
She's a cage for every unclean spirit"

A FAR CRY FROM INNOCENCE

Harlot (n.): "a prostitute or promiscuous woman."
AKA slut. I wish I could walk around with "SLUT" stickers and just put them on everyone that needed to know that they were a slut.

HATRED STRIPS HER AND LEAVES HER NAKED

This video is one of their best videos. It's great. And it totally has nothing to do with the demonic lesbian scene. Okay, maybe it does. But there's lots of other cool crap in it, like some of this stuff:

Seriously, though. Freaking tight.

DANTE'S INFERNO

Another reason to love this band is they don't focus just on love and other typical crap. They actually have biblical references and references to Dante's Inferno: "The seven headed beast with 10 horns, which is referred to many times in the song, is the anti-Christ...The black tar which represents the departed soul in the corrupted victims in the video is derived from Dante's 5th Malebolge in Hell. The demons wreck the sinners (in that case, those who betrayed the church) with hooked spears." Not only did they make references in both the song and the video, but their guitar riffs were noted as 14th Greatest Guitar Riff ever because it broke the norm so much, and thus was used Guitar Hero and Rock Band. This band kicks ass.

In addition to the sick guitar riffs, James Owen "The Rev" Sullivan's drumbeats are well-known around the world. Unfortunately, on Decemeber 28th, 2009, he passed away from drug overdose. It's a day that I'll never forget. 

YOU'VE MADE THE WRONG DECISION AND IT'S EASY TO SEE

And that was the decision to not watch the music video. It's one of my favorites by them. DO IT.

I found a couple of other cool pictures for the song :)
