The video with 250,000 views is a couple of years old - they've been going for maybe 3yrs - various lineups. They tour - were in Switzerland earlier this year supporting the top Swiss metal group of their genre - and yes - the Swiss do like this sort of music. A more recent video is quite cool - they video'd it in the bassist's folks garage - trying to give it a 'small club' feel.
The diary notes have just popped up on my Facebook news feed. Would imagine the number of views are rising and will continue to do so.
i'll show this to my missus once the baby is away but I know for a fact she'll sympathise and agree entirely - and yes, it's got gradually worse over the last 3 years.
