MTV2's Headbanger's Blog reports:
"It’s not hard to tell which Nostradamus Quatrain JUDAS PRIEST’s new video 'War' is about. As Jim Morrison sang so long ago: “This is the end/you’re only friend/the end.”'War' illustrates the apocalypse biblical-style with stunning computer animation that looks like an ass-kicking new video game.
The vid features witches practicing magic then being burned at the stake, a tyrannical ruler exerting fascist control, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse storming through the sky, fire spreading across the earth, winged beasts reigning destruction and lots more imagery that would have make Hieronymus Bosch giddy with delight.
Priest are nowhere to be found in the clip - neither in actual nor animated form - but their operatic new music echoes through the video, creating a thunderous soundtrack for the devastation.
