Teratism (black metal) at King Cobra in Seattle 07/03/2008

published by Chris Slack on Fri, 07/04/2008 - 7:06pm

As with most of the black metal bands these guys try to convey a very cold and evil feel through their appearance as well as their music. They also take both very seriously. I tried to reflect that in these photos. This was the final night of their tour and they are driving back to Minnesota to get back to their "real lives."

I flashed on the first three and used the nifty fifty for the rest. EXIF data is intact.

I love the shots sans the flash! They look gritty and evil.

Thanks! They are all really down to earth and friendly people even though their views of spirituality might differ from most people. However once they get their makeup and costumes on for their "live rituals" they turn in to totally different people and it really comes across in their music and their performance.
