Music Video of the Day: The Devil You Know by Anthrax (2012, directed by ????)


I remember that, when this single was first released, there was an assumption that the song was about the supernatural but Anthrax themselves have said that the song is actually about World War II and sung from the point of view of a veteran, hence the lyric that “My kind won’t be seen again.”

The music video provides a view of both the band’s fans and Anthrax behind-the-scenes, promoting their tenth studio album, Worship Songs, preparing to perform, and performing on stage.  As with many heavy metal videos, this video puts the emphasis on the work that goes into the performance.

Enjoy!
