Any picture of Dani Filth is ridiculous. The little troglodyte. I can't stand him or Cradle of Shit... erm... Filth. It makes me ashamed of the fact that they're British as well.

Ruthless Reviews are awesome, regardless of what they do. (Don't believe me? Check out their guide to 80's action!)

KharBevNor · « **Reply #3 on:** 18 Aug 2005, 07:46 »

Yes! They FINALLY acknowledged Rob Darken!

And I still don't know how Anorexia Nervosa have kept off the list. Possibly similiar to Carpathian Forest: Everyone know's they're fucking around, and they're just waiting for them to do something really incredible. Still:

And dammit, I can't find that bloody awesome picture of Hreidmarr in full black metal gear and a santa hat, drinking Jack Daniels and smoking whilst slumped on a pile of empty bottles and porn.

What the fuck is wrong with that dude's chest?

KharBevNor · « **Reply #5 on:** 18 Aug 2005, 08:01 »

He's bending at a wierd angle in a black, open fronted collarless shirt, on a black background.

Don't think it's anything more serious than that.

kikanjuuneko · « **Reply #6 on:** 18 Aug 2005, 08:22 »

Looks like he's smeared himself in moongoat blood or possibly has massive amounts of freckles or something.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #7 on:** 18 Aug 2005, 08:30 »

Moongoat blood.

kikanjuuneko · « **Reply #8 on:** 18 Aug 2005, 09:22 »

Now that I think of it, having freckles shine through one's corpsepaint would be nothing short of brain-shatteringly hilarious.

He probably isn't

Piers in the back is wishing he'd joined that ebm group.

Pic #3 (aka Finnish Children) on the second ridiculous BM pictures post is actually a band called Azurewrath (who are broken up now. . oh no!!!)

anyways the guy in that picture on the left who is shirtless and covered in fake blood posts on another forum I post on. He got made fun of pretty good because of it.

and they're from the UK, not finland!

KharBevNor · « **Reply #15 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 13:30 »

See, the UK does have a BM scene!

*hangs his head in shame*

I have this pretty ridiculous BM pic on my hard-drive somewhere (I'll go look again in a sec). Never could work out what the band name was. They reek of symphonic BM: smooth corpsepaint, frilly shirts, and black dresses on the two female members. They're all sort of crouched in a forest in excessive poses with souvenir weapons grimming it up Hecate Enthroned style.

It kinda piqued my interest though. I mean, ridiculous BM pics is how I found Profanatica.

Signum_Tenebrae · « **Reply #16 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 13:32 »

haha. The first pic I saw of Profanatica was the one where they are completely naked and covered in blood.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #17 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 13:35 »

Same here. That's pretty much the main band photo they use.

stevethepirate · « **Reply #18 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 19:18 »

This whole thing just makes me sad to think, that people out there in the world actually believe that this kind of shit is actually cool or even normal to do by any standard. Time to institutionalize some of these idiots.

Signum_Tenebrae · « **Reply #19 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 19:33 »

Corpse paint has a meaning which is often lost in the sheer number of bands who misuse it.

rawrXskittles · « **Reply #20 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 20:02 »

I find these hilarious. I am surprised the pic of Dani was only #10. I'd have put him up to about either a 3 or even a 2. I'm also surprised they didn't take any pictures from the CoF vids... but oh well. CoF still is, to quote, "teh sex".

I seriously dig the pic of Dani in the orginal. Aww, he thinks he's evil people!

Also, it looks pretty fucking cool when done well:

Also, I must point out to peoplewho may not know that corpsepaint, shin-gaurds, excessive gauntlets etc. are only actually worn for photo ops, live performances etc, or by some excessive fans at concerts. No-one, or at least no-one with any real degree of sanity or shame, actually walks around all the time dressed up to this degree.

rawrXskittles · « **Reply #22 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 20:32 »

I just know I'm gonna get screamed at but...who are they?? *cringe*

KharBevNor · « **Reply #23 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 20:49 »

http://www.taste-of-black.ch/images/gorgoroth_band.jpg

And there's absolutely no reason why anyone not into black metal should know of them really. So no screaming.

RRRRAAAAAAAWWWWWWGGGGRRRRRWRRRRAWWRRERERERERERRRRRAAAGGGHH!!!!!!

Fooled ya!

rawrXskittles · « **Reply #24 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 20:53 »

*cowers and bursts into tears* I am suffiently terrified! God kill me now!

They look silly.

They look like undead corpses re-animated by Satan in the far reaches of the infernal North to spread his audial terrorism.

Correct'd

No but seriously, I think they look rawking. In fact, I have a copy of the original photo of King Ov Hell from that set on my wall somewhere.

This kinda stuff is also cool:

Borondir · « **Reply #26 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 21:02 »

I thought that was Gorgoroth. They do look awesome.

Most of the people who listen to black metal, and even some who play it, don't take it that seriously. The corpse paint is just a theatrical image thing to most anyway. Of course not to all, and my typical metalhead perspective would be despised by trOO kvlt necro kiddies.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #27 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 21:07 »

These of course, being the same tr00 kvlt nekrokiddies who claim to be extreme, anti-human death-soldiers of Satan, or whatever the latest craze is nowadays, yet can't go to gigs because they have school in the morning.

They also tend to have views on the purity and seriousness of black metal directly contrary to the stated opinions of Cronos, Quorthon, Vark Vikernes, Fenriz and just about every other person of any note or intelligence actually associated with proper black metal in any way.

Signum_Tenebrae · « **Reply #28 on:** 19 Aug 2005, 21:47 »

Kick ass picture of Sanguine. . Averse Sefira is one of my favorites. Seeing them live put all other concerts to fucking shame.

Anyways, about corpse paint.. To me putting on corpse paint is like a ritual. I've never played a live show in it, unfortunately, but I've put it on for photos with previous bands I've been involved in. It's like becoming another person, wearing a mask, becoming less human, alienating yourself from the "normal." It's a physical reflection of parts of one's personality coming out to become dominant during the show/photoshoot.

Of course, it does look cool when done properly. . However you have fucking idiots out there who do stuff like this:

and this..

and, good god, this..

Here's a few more examples of "good" corpse paint.. This is the band Watain.

Here's a local heavy metal band that sings entirely in Klingon. I once saw them play while I was a bit tipsy, and started yelling things about Romuluns kicking the asses of klingons. Glad the lead vocalist (the big guy in the middle) didn't hear me. He may be missing half an arm, but I still wouldn't want to mess with him.

see, ST gets the idea of Corpse paint, to look dead. not like some over-zealous cure fan.

I'd say generally just to look inhuman. The stylised stuff can work as well.

Trollstormur · « **Reply #33 on:** 20 Aug 2005, 00:14 »

like what Immortal does.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #34 on:** 20 Aug 2005, 00:29 »

I was thinking more the Averse Sefira I posted above...but hell, you can't beat Immortal. It's impossible.

(Of course, you also can't wear corpsepaint that looks anything like theirs without seeming to copy them)

One of King Diamonds latest designs is pretty badass. Looks like he's weeping inverted crosses, and not in your '14 year old goth kid just discovered liquid eyeliner' way.

But the King is, well, the king.

The ONLY man alive who can get away with corpsepaint and a top hat.

Luke · « **Reply #35 on:** 20 Aug 2005, 00:30 »

I found #8 particularly amusing.

WATCH OUT FOR THAT BUS, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Patatat · « **Reply #36 on:** 20 Aug 2005, 00:38 »

That stovokr band sucks, not bassed on the klingon. Mostly because they are too slow to be death metal, death metal should be played fast. With leads to kill me.
