10 Best Rock Music Videos Of The 2010s

8. God Is Dead? - Black Sabbath

When it was announced in 2011 that the original line-up of Black Sabbath were getting back together, everyone was thrilled.

Mainly because this meant they were all still alive.

This new/old configuration of the band released their first album in 2013. It was called... 13. Wow, really clever, guys.

The album got pretty good reviews and spawned three singles, one of which was the Friedrich Nietzsche-inspired God is Dead?

We're not asking you that; the title of the song actually has a question mark at the end.

The song got itself a music video and what a video it was. It starts off with images of a dystopian city with various haunting images playing on electronic billboards.

As Ozzy Osbourne ponders the existence of the Lord, images flash up of various warzones. Blood then begins to fill the streets, before an army of civilians eventually try and stand up to their authoritarian overlords.

The video tells a full and engaging story with plenty of captivating imagery to hook viewers in. It helps that the song is almost 10 minutes long, giving it a lot more space to play with.

It's kind of cheating, if you think about it.
