I discovered this band while reading a post about female metallers at Invisible Oranges, and was blown away. Formed in 2004 and hailing from Pushkino, Russia, they released their first album "The Beginning Of The End" on Russian Indie label Mazzar Records.
Tantal uses a good size arsenal when playing, from awesome riffs, to clean vocals (courtesy of vocalist Sofiya Raykova), to a growl that could hold it's own with the best of them (also by Sofiya), to killer machine-gun riffs (which you would expect from a band named after a Polish Assault Rifle) and nice progressive solos. Tantal is definitely a band to keep your eye on.
Check out their first video "Suicide".

Behemoth - At the left hand ov God
Behemoth being that metal powerhouse that they are, never seem to disappoint with their videos. And "At the Left Hand Ov God" is no exception.
Directed by D.Szermanowicz & M.Dutkiewicz for Grupa13 productions, it's a much more theatric video than others you may have seen. Encorparating scenes of the Temptation of Eve, Fallen Angels and writhing masses of tortured souls, it would be missing something without some shot of "Lord" Negral basking in the adoration of his minions.

Vreid - Pitch Black
Formed from the remains of norwegian black metal band Windir, Vreid came to light (or darkness) in 2004 following the death of Windir frontman Valfar. Hailing from the frozen lands of Norway, Vreid has secured their footing in the metal community with their heavy blend of black and thrash metal.
This song off of Vreid's 2nd album "Pitch Black Brigade" (Tabu Records, 2006), has a very DIY approach to it. Incorporating grainy archive military footage and equally grainy footage of the band playing in what could only be described as their practice space, they still manage to convey the imagery of and attack by a Pitch Black Brigade.
Their latest album, Milorg (Indie Recordings, 2009) is out now, and they are also touring the US on the Heathenfest Tour. Enough chat... check out Pitch Black.

Ramesses - Khali Mist
This is probably one of the most awesome video's I've seen in a long time.
It was produced/directed by Hans Lo. It's a VHS video collage promo that Hans says "was compiled and edited over 4 months, taking elements from over 50 movies." And goes on to say "this was an intuiative alchemic reaction to Ramesses' incredible monolithic freeform sounds".
Ramesses was formed by ex-Electric Wizard members Tim Bagshaw and Mark Greening, and are joined by Adam Richardson of Lord of Putrefaction. they have a great heavy, sludgy sound that just rolls over you and pulls you along with it, before plunging you into a realm of heavy psychedelia and filling you with a sense of doom.
Go ahead and smoke one, sit back and get ready to blown away.

NEUROSIS - A Sun That Never Sets
Being that i'm still a bit hungover from all the Halloween escapades this past weekend, we'll keep this one short and let you get to the video.
Neurosis have been creating some of the best Doom/Sludge/Ambient/Stoner Post-Metal (whatever you want to call it) around since 1985. This single, off the album of the same name, completely enthralls you in it's rising sound before fading slowly out and leaving you feeling like your missing something.
