Dimmu Borgir
Mike From Hobart Presents: the top 10 most ridiculous black metal pics of all time. These are all good style pointers for Hand of Vecna, the Flea's hypothetical viking metal band of the future.
Dimmu Borgir
The bald guy makes this picture #5, hands down. This is some serioulsy shoddy corpse-paint on everybody, especially for a photo shoot. Look at the bald guy. Just look at him! Is that supposed to be intimidating? He looks like a f***ing alien! As with Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir's pics have gotten more ridiculous with time, i.e., the presence of top-hats, vampire teeth, capes, etc. Terrible!
Sadly, I recognize the make-up effect the guy on the left is going for. It is based on a not terribly good self-portrait by Aleister Crowley ("The Master Therion 666"). Must be a bald guy thing.

Evil but funny, dude. They're, like, pictures from a gay deacon's nightmares, man.

I have always laughed at the daft pics that you get in metal mags. I mean do these death metal blokes actually think they are scary. Of course quite a few of them have never realised that Venon were taking the piss.

I think there is something wrong with me. I have laughed every time I saw this picture today.

Dimmu Borgir is mighty fine but the 'bald guy' back there makes the picture a real joke. Maybe the reason he was kicked out was because he didn't know how to handle the make-up in the old Black Metal fashion ;D
