Trying to find the name of this 90s-2000s medieval-themed metal band that has a video where the lead singer walks around a castle singing and posing on the ramparts while the guitarists play solos.
The music is really epic and the video is very silly. Don't really know anything more about it.

Response by poster: No, but damn if that video didn't fit the criteria.
If I remember correctly, the singing was more like "Run to the Hills" era Iron Maiden.

Possibly a Hammerfall song... or Blind Guardian though I can find nothing to fit.
On the black metal side there is Emperor's The Loss and Curse of Reverence (Video Here)

Well, y'know, you're describing a whole sub-genre of music videos. But you're probably looking for the one that was on MetaFilter and I Love Music (and that I'm looking for now, but can't seem to find it...)

At first I thought it was Dragonforce.
But then I realized there were no castles save for the one in my head. So it must be I'll See the Light Tonight! Maybe?

Could you possibly be thinking of "Holy Diver" by Dio?

Response by poster: nope, it's probably what klangklangston is thinking of though.

Do you remember anything else about the video? Did the lead singer have long hair? Were they dressed like medieval knights?
