“20/20” marked Crown The Empire’s first release since 2016’s Retrograde, so obviously they had to drop an exciting video to match. Directed by Max Moore, the music video casts a creepy, sci-fi vibe, taking the viewer on a journey through the relationship between humans and technology.

18. Capture The Crown – “Firestarter”

Capture The Crown dropped a flame-filled video for “Firestarter” in 2014, the first single from their second album, Reign Of Terror. Another banger from Shan Dan, it turns out the inspiration from the video comes from a very real place. “I was in a fire when I was younger,” vocalist Jeffrey Wellfare says. “I had third-degree burns all over my body, my face, everywhere. So it’s personal. We tried to make it into a universal song, just trying to say don’t take your life for granted and appreciate what you’ve got because it can be taken away from you very easily.”

19. Carnifex – “Die Without Hope”

“Die Without Hope” comes from Carnifex’s fifth album under the same name, released in March 2014. Released via Nuclear Blast Records, the video was directed by Shan Dan with set design by Jonny Plague.

20. Lil Jon and DJ Snake – “Turn Down For What”

It’s impossible to forget Lil Jon and DJ Snake’s 2013 hit, “Turn Down For What.” Directed by directing duo Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the viral music video was released in March 2014 and described as “perfect insanity.”
