Black Metal Barbies

This spread actually made me say “AWWWWWW” out loud and go watch the fake black metal video that Liam Lynch and I made last summer, Oracle of Darkness.
Black Metal Barbies was photographed by Antonella Arismendi for D-Mode magazine, October ’08.


More after the jump!

WOW!
Although of course very “awww” and “lol” worthy, it looks really cool!
I’m sure a lot of poser BM bands will turn green with envy XD

I am so all for the lolz factor.
July 28th, 2009 at 12:38 PM
Yeah, thats lol worthy. the corpse paint leaves a bit to be desired though:)

Black metal cracks me up. Fun photos

Some interesting poses, some are just silly.
Lighting and photography are excellent.
Camera angles are a bit boring.
Corpse paint is a bit unoriginal, but still passable.
Clothing and accessories look really cheap.
Overall score: Fail. EMO is not metal.

this reminds me of Alexandre Herchcovith’s 2008 summer collection, which was pretty awesome:

If you listen to Attack Attacks new album, there are a few similarities. Check out Track 8 and you will see. Youtube it.

why help make a mockery of such a “once” original genre with stupid skinny models that have no idea what the hell Black Metal is? Just have some originality yourself why don’t you?

You know those guitar mag girls who – in the eye of a musician – obviously don’t play or know how to hold an instrument? This is similar. The clothing is too modest and fasion-cut and the accesories fail at being brutal. Occult pendants and spiked gauntlets would have been a place to start. Kvlt value failed.
Only pic 5 nearly achieves something here.

total failure with respect to black metal. just another feeble mainstream attempt at raping an authentic genre. what exactly would an anorexic twat with nicky clarke highlights, hysterical narcissistic posing and expensive designer leather have to do with black metal? whats with the iron cross- this isnt a motorhead promo! did you even research the music and ideology? or did you just do a google image search…

To asheron:
How dare you insult the glory of black metal by using the word EMO.
This may not truly honour the spirit of the genre but corpse paint is in no way linked to those whiny little emo fucks. It originates from viking war paints. Either get it right or rid the world of your discusting remarks and sit alone and cold contemplating the reason for your existence because I do not see one.

“Black metal” in fashion?
That’s some repulsive, fucked up shit.

Tip for a Great personal ad – Produce Attraction – Do not just list everything you desire in someone but go far more for highlighting your own characteristics and personality. That way you might be far more likely to attract your true match as like attracts like.

I am probably one of the few females that find this post extremely disturbing. Not for the obvious feminist faggotry that most women get onto people about, but for the pure simple fact that this is just quite possibly the most embarassing thing i’ve ever witnessed. Just because some trend-hopping hipster faggot decided that it wasn’t enough to follow the retarded herd that is the fashion world, said faggot thought that in order to create something “new”, he needed to get a bunch of skinny, more-than-anorexic fake bitches (who’ve probably never even heard of black metal a day in their life, nor give a shit less.) together, throw some horribly-overrated corpse paint on them, make sure that they felt up to their utmost slut-core capabilities and then flash around half of a human skull replica AND their half naked bodies like they were going to strap on a big black dildo and skull-fuck the shit out of it.
Black Metal isn’t “emo”. It isn’t “trendy”.
And it most DEFINITELY should NOT be compared to shitty bands like Attack Attack. It’s quite the opposite. It’s fucking fantastic music (depending on your tastes) that should NOT be fucked with.
Black metal used to be fucking br00tal. I never thought it’d be victimized by fashion idiots who want to make money off of crafting a $250 pair of shittily made combat boots with “really awesome studs”.
