This is the coolest photo we’ve ever seen of a heavy metal moshpit. The demonic swirl of flailing headbangers spinning in a violent circle is pure art. Check out the sole dude in the middle in the eye of what appears to be a very fierce storm. If you look closely, you can even see gritted teeth — a must for surviving concentric pummeling.
If we had to guess, we’d say Slayer were onstage, but the propeller-like velocity of the rotations lends itself more readily to blasters like Napalm Death or Immolation. Of course, since this photo was obviously shot with a long shutter speed, it’s entirely possible someone like Staind or Saliva were playing. And, that’s a far more scary notion than a gigantic moshpit devouring everything in its path.
