If ever there was a makeup style that screamed “horror!”, it would have to be the infamous “corpse paint” that is widely used throughout the black metal genre. Meant to recreate a demonic, possessed, or deceased look (sometimes all three), the paint is a way to give emphasis to the harsh, often evil overtones that the music creates.
For those of you who have wondered how such designs are created, New York City blackened death metal band Vomit Fist, which features 17-year old drummer Lurkrot, his father, guitarist Vürdoth, and 18-year old vocalist Skrag, have put together a video that shows how to put on the makeup and, if time is of the essence, do a quick and dirty job. Check out the video below!
You can order the band’s latest release Forgive But Avenge via Bandcamp.
