The absurd majesty of band photos

[Goosebumples]

Seen the recent Transylvania band photo on the invictus site and thought it was a very entertaining take on some tried n true spookiness, i.e. the classic lookin' spooky with the lads in a graveyard, by literally being in a grave. Love it!

Thought it might be fun to have a thread of exemplary band photos alongside some delightful abominations. Dunno if its already been a thread, but couldnt find anything via the search function.
Oh and lets try and keep it fun, keep it to cool examples and utterly bizzare ones so we're not clowning on smaller/younger bands that for whatever reason had poor/meh execution while trying to find their feet, I know my past bands fall into this category.

Was similarly impressed by this! Simple but original and metal af idea Dead would be proud of them 

[Bürggermeister]

Often imitated, never equalled

Obituary did a similar photo shoot but didn't bother with any makeup or bullet belts. They just left on the aul jeans and smelly trainers.

I always liked that they used coffins that looked like they made them from cardboard boxes at school

Scott Burns built the coffins using plywood!

They had another one where they were all 'hung' from nooses, looked about as convincing:



To be fair, Peres always looked like a corpse anyway, so they had a foot in the coffin already.

And who could forget this classic from Morbid Angel?



Fucksake, buy a T-shirt lad.

There's still more material in that shirt than there was in David Vincent's towel in the clip of them backstage a few years back. He looked like he had a facecloth wrapped around him.

Danzig had some of the coffin action too

Looks like Trump standing out front there

Hard to beat this one in that vein of things:

[Mr Barlow]

Can never forget this classic

That Dismember was a genius idea alright. Cool thread!
