[edit] Music Video
Two music videos have been released for "Evil." One was released in the United Kingdom, and the other in the United States. The UK version depicts an elderly man examining a medieval manuscript concerning a young woman surrounded by demons (the woman is presumed to be a witch). He is shocked to discover the images on the manuscript coming to life. The manuscript pans down to show the woman being trapped by the demons, then feasting with them. Later, she is sentenced to death by a queen on her throne (she speaks to the queen, but the meaning of what she said is unknown, for the "speech" consisted of a speech bubble depicting earlier scenes from the video). As the man looks at the final part of the manuscript, the woman is strapped to a chair and lowered into an ocean by a priest carrying a cross.
The U.S version has no plot, and consists of the members of Ladytron playing the song in front of a white background.
