	Corpse paint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Corpse paint (sometimes a single word, corpsepaint) is a style of fl-and-white makeup used extensively by fl metal bands during live concerts and photo shoots.
		The decoration is used to intensify the bands' imagery of forbidding evil, inhumanity, and corpse-like decay (thus the term corpse paint).
		Early Norwegian fl metal bands such as Mayhem, Emperor, Immortal, Darkthrone, and Satyricon are arguably responsible for maintaining the popularity of the corpsepaint among today's fl metal acts.

	Black Metal FAQ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Corpsepaint first originated in simple costuming tradition, and was even used by some hardrock stars like Alice Cooper during the 1970s.
		Early second wave fl metallers based their corpsepaint on several sources, mainly, on the victims (corpses) of the bubonic plague, who had pasty skin and fl spots around their eyes and mouth, but also on the traditional concept of “war paint” as it was practiced by warriors during the dark ages.
		Corpsepaint has been so prolific and watered down in recent years that the practice now carries a tinge of embarrassment, which discourages more serious artists from using it to enhance their art.

		But by no means should the usage of corpsepaint be forged into a rule defining fl metal for what it is. BM is so much more than simply props.
		The whole point of corpsepaint was to instill terror in individuals watching them and a rather subtle means of animalistic subconscious intimidation.
		Corpsepaint just happened to be the cheapest method early BM bands could find to transform themselves physically into something else that would enable a mental image to set into the minds of their audience.

		FOG: Well, I honestly cannot say that we are the first American BM group that has chosen not to wear corpsepaint.
		I don't wish to create some fraudulent alter ego as a performing musician in order to illicit some traditional response from people that choose to listen to what I create, or participate in creatively, and that is what I feel wearing corpsepaint amounts to.
		That would also mean having a clear knowledge of occult practice or an established self-styled practice that uses corpsepaint effectively.

		If you know the guys outside of the band, it makes their whole image less 'scary' and it loses alot of the mystery.
		When I see Hellacaust, I look through the corpsepaint and bullets, and focus on the music, which I don't mind at all.
		I can't imagine wearing corpsepaint and spikes and singing about politics or the environment, it just doesn't seem to fit.

	CoC : Gig Review
		It is pleasing to see that, even after ten years, Immortal haven't stopped appearing live, and on album covers, in corpsepaint.
		Immortal today are a punishingly powerful three-piece who've mixed a fl metal mainline -- their central musical blood-vein -- with more established rock songwriting styles.
		The corpsepaint is part of Immortal the way the make-up was part of KISS or the biking leathers were part of 'Priest: a defining part of them.

		Hailing from Germany, Caliban already have another full length CD, CDEP and split CD under their belt to solidify them in Europe as a formidable Metalcore tour de force.
		Imagine, if you will, American Metalcore masters Converge in a secluded forest in Germany, dressed to kill in corpsepaint with swords and torches - that is Caliban.
		Highly influenced by the likes of worldwide favorites Converge and Disembodied, Caliban seem to find solace in blending the more memorable moments of Bolt Thrower, earlier Dimmu Borgir (especially in the vocal dept.) and earlier In Flames to create their patented Euro Black Metal forge of Hardcore.

	MetalTabs.com Forum - Worst BM band EVER
		First of all, he didn't mention corpse paint, he was just saying the pictures were queer, and look at them, they ARE queer.
		I was in fact referring to the extreme degree of OVERALL SHITNESS that those unholy chicken fondlers possess.
		I dig some fl metal that does that shit (Immortal) and I also dig ones that don't (Anaal Nathrakh) and wearing corpse paint instantly means you're trying too hard to portray an image, end of story.

	Slaughter Attack
		In Black metal do you feel that the image, (corpsepaint, spikes etc...) is essential to the BM package, or is image just something that comes with playing BM and being involved in it?
		Yes I think the corpsepaint and spikes, blood and fire are all important elements that go with the music.
		All these things create a visual and visual is an important factor in creating an atmosphere and energy.

		The bottom line is, when you hear enough of it, when you let yourself be touched by it, it grows on you, and then, sometimes, if you're lucky, it not only grows on you, it possesses you.
		Abigor are one of the few bands in the genre that are still taking the time to don corpsepaint and leathermetal armour for their shows.
		Being that fl metal, circa 1990, had its heart and soul deeply rooted in Norway, the corpsepaint is connected with ancient pagan traditions of that land.

		For the record there is no Cradle of Filth wankery present on this release, mercifully so.

		Norwegian fl metal with tons of speed and a little bit of subtle melody with typical sneering vocal screams and keyboards cluttering things up in the distance.

	Fallenempire2000 reviews Mayhem
		As a live album it stands as a testament to what this scene once represented at its earliest inception.
		Black metal was a huge underground scene in Norway at the time, and its adherents were still burning down churches, wearing corpsepaint, and killing each other, rather than touring Europe and making lots of money.
		The sense of danger and rabid excitement is real and tangible on every track of this record.

	Transcending the Mundane (TTM): Listen / Buy / Read Review of A Blaze in the Northern Sky by Darkthrone
		Bands like Bathory, Venom, and Mayhem had all been around for several years before Darkthrone, but none of those bands would contribute to the future "cliches" of fl metal more than Darkthrone.
		And the irony in this is the fact that Darkthrone developed these future cliches (i.e., wearing corpsepaint, dressing in all fl clothing, posing for pictures during the night, etc.), in order to shock people and spread fear.
		Eventually the scene went from frightening to laughable, and with the exception of a few bands, became rather watered-down.

		They wore corpsepaint, were involved in church burnings and murders, made EVIL music, and created songs like "Night of Graveless Spirits" and "The Burning Shadows of Silence".
		They were no corpsepaint except a "gothic" eyeliner, they are more likely to watch "barney and friends" or "seasame street" than watch "Nosferatu", they make non-EVIL music and created songs like "Curse you all men!" and "Decrystalizing reason".

		Also included is a spread of newspaper headlines and photos showing the guys in various stages of intoxication.

		They started from a pretty basic spot — flened thrash mostly influenced by Venom and Celtic Frost.
		In the early days they wore corpsepaint and their 1994 debut, Scorn Defeat, was even originally released on the infamous Deathlike Silence Productions label.
		With subsequent albums, Sigh became weirder and weirder, adding all kinds of instruments, soundtrack symphonics, psychedelia, and oriental influences, while still maintaining that basic rocking thrash foundation.

		Now, it might have been a more interesting progression if Manes had gone the other way, done this in 1999 and then come out with the fl metal of "Blodraud"...especially since most metallers who get into the realm of electronica tend to produce albums that are at least 3 years behind the times.
