Mage is like every token goth at any of my local high schools. Wearing a black trenchcoat on a 40 degree day.

They all look like the goths I used to see at my high school. Reminds me of Richmond from The IT Crowd.

Repugnant looked so damn late-80s-death-metal, and their music just reflects that perfectly.

Is that guy on the left's name supposed to be pronounced Side Burns? That's so silly it's great

no. it's pronounced CD-burns

fresh off the sub q, probably NSFW:


I wonder if he used a tripod, or went "mom, could you stand here for a min while I pose for the pic? bring a knife..."

Richmond has way better fashion sense though. Doesn't even compare with those Hot Topic atrocities.

There is another photo in his myspace:

Looks like he haves a mushroom on the mouth.

Yeah, you're right. I've been inside a Hot Topic once, everything there is atrocious.

Ha ha!

Doggie!

young Emperor playing live - i wonder how their particular brand of black metal would sound so close up.

^ cool photo, do we know where/when etc?

Heh heh Melvins, got goat?

wanna see a hella young Fenriz in practice?



super young Mayhem smokin' and being all goth

It's a throwback to "Honey Bucket" I guess.

Hmmmn...

Both are exceedingly bangable.

Haha. Fenriz was a beautiful young man

Not sure on the origin of this one, but if you look closely at the pattern of the branches directly above the band members, it looks like the trees are trying to tell us something:

I like the rodeo clown in the second one in the Metal Up Your Ass shirt

it would be so cool if the branches formed the band name.

here's a few more:

Jon from Dissection lookin badass:



Jon lookin pretty:





Absolute favorite picture of Dead, you can see the mania in his eyes, he looks absolutely demonic!



Skoll in early Ulver:



Someone forgot to tell Holocausto to be scary:



Here's Dead and Hellhammer: a lot of conditioner must've been used in that practice house.



I'll find some more...

The look on Dead's face in the last one is priceless, I gotta say

That old rust bucket ain't taking Methrox nowhere.

Methrox?! ha ha

So PhilosophicalFrog brought up Treblinka in the FFA thread and i decided to check out Tiamat's page. One thing led to another and i found this photo of Johan Edlund looking like a depressed drag queen


Edit:I just noticed his fancy skirt in this one with Tiamat

Johan is such a strange dude. He's one of the few metal personalities that can be accurately described as "quirky" his entire career

etcetera!

Oh god

I legitimately thought that was just a bad photoshop, it ACTUALLY IS the bass.

Yeah and the cursed thing only has two strings TWO

Astrohenge
I'm sure it took a considerable amount of skill to pull this look off

what

His personality is what truly sets him apart, just his worldview is so "out there". I heard that a fan ran into him at a Pink Floyd show while wearing a Tiamat shirt and Johan got really pissed off at the guy for reminding him of his own band . Guess that's what happens when you spend weeks on end eating literally nothing but magic mushrooms. If the result is death metal masterpieces like "The Astral Sleep" and "Clouds", then more power to him!

that^^ sounds nothing like the Johan I've met over the last 12 years... he's friendly and fun




yes, they're from the 80s. and austrian. and beatles fans.

Circus of Fools

Looks like they're waiting patiently.

^ all aboard the hipster train

We don't have a 'cool' smiley with sunnies? 8)

He has such a "Oh shit that flag is not what it looks like" look on his face

This guitar really needs a new paint job, it looks terrible =|

Jeez, that looks absolutely terrible. Looks like he had done a Hendrix and set that shit on fire

wow, there really are ppl who are sure all that glitters is gold... why don't you go buy your stairway to heaven?

I'd choose this guitar over any shiny, brand new [place brand here] anyday

I was thinking the guitar is pretty rad. Worn-in, weathered, long-played. Good shit.
