First band to use corpse paint

[dEaThToFaLsEmEtAl34]

Who was the first BLACK (don't say KISS) metal band to use corpse paint?

 

[Sinister Mephisto]

Kiss are totally black metal. rawk!

 

[Birkenau]

God damn it, I was going to say Kiss as soon as I saw the title.

I'm kinda thinking it was Sarcofago?

 

[Lyle]

i don't know, dEaThToFaLsEmEtAl34,

 

[Tranquillian]

Hellhammer possibly.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

I think King Diamond influenced the BM scene with the corpsepaint...

 

[sumairetsu]

Well, since you knocked down the option of Kiss...

You're no fun!

I'd have to go with King Diamond. He was the first person to use black and white makeup to look like a corpse.

Corpse paint is simply the inverse of this:

 

[Birkenau]

 

[Raven_1959]

If I remember rightly, Dead from Mayhem popularized the corpse paint look. Whether he was the first, I don't know, but he did make it more common.

 

[Puppet]

wasn't it Celtic Frost?

 

[CF87]

King Diamond actually looks cool,has a design. Black metal bands look like a bunch of retards that slopped shit on their faces.

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, 1968.

God damn it, I was going to say Kiss as soon as I saw the title.

Is that the Brazilian band? If so, you're right (I'm pretty sure).

 

[Hammer of Might]

how many of us were going to say Kiss? I was.

living colour

that's face paint, right?

 

[Birkenau]

I thought it was poop.

[Nag]

Is that the Brazilian band? If so, you're right (I'm pretty sure).

Same. I have heard Sarcophago did it first for many many years now.
