While tech metal vets the Dillinger Escape Plan's video for One of Us Is the Killer track "When I Lost My Bet" was a creepy, blood-dripping cinematic horror show, the band's new video for "Hero of the Soviet Union" opts to rep the act's hyper-aggressive concert performances.

Scored by the crew's vicious assault of atonal guitar stabs and crank-fuelled rhythms, the black and white live footage features band members swinging their instruments wildly on stage, while the crowd gets whipped up into a moshing frenzy. Vocalist Greg Puciato navigates both plains by launching himself into the excitable audience.

Both straight-forward and adrenalized, you can see the clip down below.
