5. Hurricane - 30 Seconds To Mars (2010)
Taken from the band's commercial successful third album,
This is War, Hurricane directed by TSTM front man Jared Leto, under the pseudonym of Bartholomew Cubbins, depicts what appears to be set within a bleak and unsettling nightmare, which exposes the darkened side of human sexuality. The omnipresent menacing figures referred to as "The Gimps" is both threatening and sinister, as they maliciously stalk and hunt down the band members with expert precision. Just when this isn't bothersome enough, the recurring hallucinations are terrifying and visually creepy. Touches with explicit sexual behaviours wholeheartedly drew controversy from many viewers, as its elements of sex and nudity was seen in an almost pornographic context. This led to censoring and banning of the video on particular online sites and music channels. While Hurricane does not hesitate from indulging in the exploration of sexual bondage activities and sensual nudity, it is engrossing and stimulating to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RLwuDQSkDI
