Music video

A music video for "The Animal", directed by Charlie Terrell, premiered on 16 November 2010, on MTV2. It was the first music video from the album Asylum to feature all the band members, as "Another Way to Die" did not feature any of them and "Asylum" only featured lead singer David Draiman. The video also features Draiman's then-fiancée and former WWE Diva Lena Yada.[3]
