Have any of the epic fantasy metal bands made music videos?

I am wondering this because, to my knowledge, I've never heard of hardly any of them making music videos. The only epic fantasy metal band I've heard that has made a music video is Dragonheart, who made a video for their song "Valley of the Damned", which is a pretty cool song by the way, however I have not seen the video yet.
But I've never heard of any other fantasy metal groups such as Blind Guardian, Kamelot, Rhapsody, Hammerfall, Iced Earth, or MANOWAR making any music videos. So does anyone here know if they have?

Blind Guardian made a few:

Off the top of my head, I can remember seeing videos for the songs:

Mr. Sandman
Mirror Mirror
Bright Eyes
Born in a Mourning Hall

I think there may be one or two more! They have a new album out so they might make one from there!

Ive seen a couple of Manowar vids too, but dont remember the names.

Iced Earth did one for the song Melancholy (Holy Martyr).

I dont think Hammerfall, Kamelot, or Rhapsody have a budget enough to do a video.

Later!

Speaking of Kamelot, have you heard the band Conception??

Kamelot's current singer, Roy Khan, sang for Conception on all four of their albums before the band split. They are much better than Kamelot IMO.

The albums are:
The Last Sunset (1992)
Parallell Minds (1993)
In Your Multitude (1995)
Flow (1997)

Anyways, check 'em out if ya want! Great stuff!

I dig the Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle-Earth album, but I don't like any of the other work they've done really...I have tried out Iced Earth and manowar and a few others but I find it a little too hardcore for my tastes. I like songs like Mirror Mirror and Into the Storm, or songs slower than that, and I don't like that guttural, deep, growling vocals that is so popular in a lot of metal today. can you guys recommend any music I might check out? I think I'm mostly looking for the fantasy theme...

Brandon:

Some metal with clearer vox that isnt overly heavy.

I mentioned 'em above, and Ill mention em again: Conception. They are amazing.

Some others:
Dream Theater-kind of metal kind of not. Really long songs. Amazing musicians.

Onward-good atmosphere, but they are kinda fast and I think you said you're not into that too much.

Try the classics as well:

Queensryche-amazing. Really catchy songs too. You'd reecognize a bunch off of the radio. They used to be quite popular.

Fates Warning-fairly fast, but so good I have to mention them.

Im tired and cant think so thats all I can come up with!
later!
