The YouTube description, which I’m assuming you wrote, really says it all:
A lost love affair, ancient Egypt, pyramids and skies on fire, a young queen, magic, the afterlife, Anubis, the Underworld, Vampires… Music Video fantasy with a story. Lots of CG special effects. Take note, the costumes are deliberate. The muse wears a bit of ancient Egypt in the present… and the Egyptian queen wears something from the future. A clash of worlds and icons. The lead singer is forced to face his inner demons (a parody of vampire symbols). His hair is purposely messed up, his character in chaos.
Right. I figured his hair was probably messed up because of all the chaos. Vampires and Egypt stuff is always so chaotic. And you can tell that a song is really good and was created as a serious piece of music when the artist is just referred to as “the lead singer.”
P.S. I don’t think your music video is why Ian Curtis killed himself, but it might be why Ian Curtis killed himself. (Via YTR.)

Rufus Wainwright goes goth. That just happened.
Is this on the “C Me Dance” soundtrack?
Sportsbra of the pharaoh’s!
Running commentary:
-OK, so he’s making out with a chick he saw through a store window. Who is also married/engaged/in a relationship. That’s a good start.
-CELL PHONES ARE EVIL
-Bad Joy Division B-Side
-Anubis is a jackal. So he is not a wolf. Sorry, THE HUNGER singer.
-UNDERWORLD POOL ROOM! Is it on the side of the Underworld Bar, Grill and Weighing Your Heart on a Scale To See If You Deserve To Enter The Afterlife?
-OH MY GOD THAT IS A TWIST ON THE LEVEL OF M. NIGHT SHYALAMAN!
Best music video ever.
I can see why this one didn’t make it on to Some Girls Wander By Mistake.
I watched this before I went to work today, and all day I could see him saying “the hunger” there is something weird about this guy! vying for the david bowie/peter murphy throne
Wow. That was the best thing I’ve ever seen!
Finally, its the 70th Love Song!
Nice chaos hair. With only that haircut you could earn the Best Video Ever price, but no! you needed to go that far…
Does this beat Chris Dane Owens?
I hunger for my four minutes back. Queensryche is coming back with a bang.
File this under awesemost awesomeness.
When they say “the Egyptian queen wears something from the future” are they talking about her white racerback sports bra? (which appears to have been bedazzled by a few gold sequins). Because every time she was on screen I kept thinking “all they could find for the egyptian queen was white cotton sports bra?”
This is some Roberta Williams Gabriel Knight shit.
This makes me think of those American Idol people who are clueless as to how little talent they have. No one has bothered to tell them that their singing voice is terrible, etc. Same thing here. This was clearly done in earnest. Ditto The Room. Do these folks honestly believe that their work is good? You hear in a lot of success stories how important it is not to give up, even when people tell you that you suck, but what people forget is that those are SUCCESS STORIES. For every one of them, there’s hundreds of stories like this one. Some people just aren’t cut out to be artists.
Woah, those effects were ‘special’
