VANDEN PLASHoles In The Sky, the brand new music video from German Progressive Metal Band VANDEN PLAS, is the “first regular video clip in VANDEN PLAS band history”… and it flat out Rocks! Holes In The Sky is a melodically heavy song that has caught my Metal attention like a thunder strike. This song is from the new and sixth VANDEN PLAS studio album Seraphic Clockwork, released in the U.S. on June 22, 2010 via Frontiers Records. I like everything about this song, from the  smooth and harmonious vocals of Andy Kuntz to the atmospheric keyboards of Günter Werno.
