Folks at The Pit magazine have compiled a list of the 10 best corpsepaint designs in metal.
The source noted: “The evolution of corpsepaint is both bizarre and fascinating. What started as a way to turn heads by KISS and Alice Cooper soon became a deadly serious display of satanic allegiance for fans of music that sounded like Dracula being killed with a chainsaw. Even stranger is that it quickly became one of extreme metal’s most recognized, examined, and loved traditions, fetishized by outsiders in a desperate attempt to connect with a musical subculture that feels genuine in its devotion.”
The list can be seen below, and for full commentary on each design, visit original source.
