Check out this shot of experimental death metal band, The Red Chord, paying homage to King Diamond and Scandinavian black metal by digging out out the face paint and getting all demonic.
Before you get all indignant and call them something nasty for making fun of the "evil ones," keep in mind that The Red Chord love black metal. They even invited Sigh frontman Mirai Kawashima to perform guest vocals on their upcoming disc Prey For Eyes, which comes out July 24.
The album will also feature special appearances by Job For a Cowboy singer Jonny Davy and Converge bassist Nate Newton.
The band chose the title Prey For Eyes based on a bizarre story frontman Guy Kozowyk heard from his brother, who's a prison guard. "[One day he] walks in on an inmate doing something ridiculous in his cell," Kozowyk said. "The prisoner won't talk and gets into this dialog via a notepad. After documenting that he can no longer talk because the devil removed his tongue, my brother checks the con's mouth with his flashlight. When he tells him that his tongue is definitely intact, the inmate replies with the cryptic message 'Pray for Eyes.'"
And if that doesn't completely confuse you, here's the video for "Blue Line Cretin":
