corpse paint makes a huge difference in a live setting.
Dimmu Borgir, like em or not, look pretty badass live. and that keyboardist is creepy as fuck

I actually don't really like Mustis' make up that much, its more Immortal-style perhaps. Gorgoroth imo has the best style corpse paint.

Behemoth still wears corpse-paint despite being more of a death metal band these days. Are there any other death metal bands that wear corpse-paint?

I plan on wearing corpsepaint during at least one show with my band, more to pay tribute to the old black metal bands than because of our music, because for the most part we are death metal but we do have a bit of a black metal sound on a song or two.

Image. Styles of music have an image and certain style of playing and as a musician you should correctly follow the music style and image if it's the type of music you choose to play. If people want to play black metal they would wear corpsepaint and have bullet belts,etc.. because if not that it would not make much sense.
If people played black metal with short hair and baggy pants that would not make much sense.

...I disagree with that. I don't think you should have to do anything just because it's what is expected. I'm always against trying to put definitions on black metal because I think doing so limits creative potential. I think images help bands get into the mood of the music, the black metal image and corpse paint appeals to most black metal fans...but I don't think the mentality should be "well, I'm in a black metal band, I guess I've got to look like every other" ...I'd always rather just have bands do their own thing, even if it means a black metal band with short-haired guys in baggy pants.

I was once told I'd be hotter with corpse paint by a black metal band. I'm not too sure how to take that.
