    Christmas Clutter Reimagined: no need to regift the Santa-face cookie platter, just paint it in Wite-Out and shoe polish and put it on Etsy.

    Uhh..these were painted by a corpse?

    My husband was just saying last night that musicians who wear corpse paint aren’t handsome dudes and that’s what they have to do to make it in the biz. So by that logic, were these some ugly angels?

    these remind me of the time on tv that KISS revealed their real faces underneath the costume makeup…this is even scarier

    anyone else think the cherub on the left looks like a poor man’s brandon lee from the crow?

    i think i would have felt differently about them if their whole bodies were painted or if they were given little goth outfits, but it just reminds me of Krusty the Clown of the Simpsons when you see him unclothed

    Hahaha, outstanding. For those complaining that they look unfinished, I took the liberty of expertly photoshopping the heads onto the bodies of Immortal.
    …It ended up looking essential the same as Immortal always look…

    Painted with Wite-Out and a Sharpie pen.

    What a great idea! I want to white-out and sharpy all of my grandmother’s heirloom ornaments to look like Charlie Parker. I probably won’t need much white-out..

    Maybe it’s just ignorance on my part, but I’m thinking that anyone truly “metal” wouldn’t hang cherubs up at all- even if they have wannabe KISS face paint.

    Dear Santa,

    All I want for Christmas is a Joey Ramone Bobblehead doll

    How would (did) anyone even find this item? The tags are spelled wrong (Balak Metal) and there’s little else to search for… I agree with the Regretsy bait… who submitted this fake crap anywho?

    Well I for one think that the black eye makeup has been expertly applied. You can tell they really understand the whole metal lifestyle. I mean, a poser would have just rimmed the eyes in black and left off the feathering/eyelashes.

    #38 NinjaGato, I think “Blackest” refers to ‘black metal’ style. Corpse paint is the goofy black and white makeup that black metal bands wear.
