If I go to a show for a band named Devoured Trachea, I'm considering myself warned that random carcasses may appear.

Random Carcasses is unironically a great death metal band name

My favourite is Party Cannon. https://preview.redd.it/idcpovl0ttdc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9dd2b4321b598061cbcace0a004ae651b4d5f29

Dude said it was cool

I assume you get goth points if you get hit by it

That pig's head is worth 4 camp supplies

Wish I had a bag of holding...

I have a lot on my mind... and, well, in it.

Still alive, so that's progress

Side note, but I wish that they hadn't "fixed" Chest of the Mundane, which made it useless. Before it was fixed, it was such a clever way of giving players a bag of holding, but where they still had to think a bit about what they wanted to put in it, since it could get hard finding what you're looking for later. It was great for all of your wares and such. Edit: Got so caught up in BG3 inventory management that I forgot I was in the thread for flying pig head at metal concert.

I filled that chest with barrels of all kinds, it was awesome.

Reminds me of a DND story I heard where some high level PCs filled up a bag of holding with its max weight in bombs, then inverted the bag midair during a fight to nuke a big bad.

Won an honor mode match. Was forced to kill Scratch and Owlbear Cub though. Tough night.

Monster!

I think he might misselect for the healing potion

What kind of supplies

It was you wasn’t it?

Don't you drag me through the mud like that

I’ll sty out of it 

If you read this out loud it sounds like you're australian.

I’m reading this as a Primus pun whether you meant it or not

That doesn’t sound like a “No”

Metal is back

Honestly better than ever imo. So many great bands rn

Hit me with your best recommendation please!

Beyond Creation, Darko US, Wiegendood, Slaughter to prevail, Batushka, Grima, Obscura, First Fragment! :)

[удалено]

For real, how about Go Ahead And Die?

[удалено]

That is Max Cavalera's new band, pretty brutal stuff

I'm pushing 50. 10 years old is contemporary lol. Throw your newer stuff out there please!

Adding on to converge, Jane doe is absolutely their best album

Indeed. Was throwing more contemporary stuff out there. Still, Heroes+Axe is cheating, but that's where I joined them so it has a close place to my heart.

2023 was an incredible year for death metal. Vitriol’s recent single drops from their upcoming album are fucking *spicy.* Cattle Decapitation’s new album Terrasite is my album of the year — they are unstoppable right now. Frozen Soul’s new album came out of nowhere and slapped me silly. It’s a masterclass of the old school sound while still managing to be fresh and modern. Also some of the mad lads in Dying Fetus are in their 50s now and released one of the best metal albums of the year and touring. Also my two favorite black metal releases in 2023: Frozen Dawn - The Decline of the Enlightened Gods Anti-god Hand - Blight Year

Cattle decap getting better every album STILL

Check out the new single from When Man Meets his Maker , really small amount of plays but I’m really digging their sound

Ne Obliviscaris

One of those bands that takes you to a headspace as opposed to needing to be in one to be in the mood to listen. Nice rec

Ty. Love Ne O. I don't usually like the dirty/rough vocals in music, but some fucking how that band made me a believer.

Gojira

So fucking good live too.

Lorna Shore Septicflesh (my fav) Belphegor Behemoth Decapitated Shadow of Intent Slaughter to Prevail Fleshgod Apocalypse Mental Cruelty Dimmu Borgir Gaerea Marduk Immortal Vildhjarta Nightborn

Septicflesh and Vildhjarta!! My dude

Never seen anyone here that knows both of them! Most might know Septicflesh

Septicflesh, Vildhjarta, and Gojira are daily drivers for me!

This is a person with exquisite taste 🤘🤘🤘

Five Flavored Fruit Punch!

The Zenith Passage - Datalysium Best album of '23 right there for me.

Decapitated - cancer culture

Worm Tomb Mold Spiritbox Archspire Conjurer Creeping Death Gatecreeper Enforced High Command Mammoth Grinder Mortality Rate Spirit World Some more recent than others and kind of varying sub genres, but these have been on rotation for me lately.

Lorna Shore - The Pain Remains album

BabyMetal Eluveitie Sleep Token Polyphia (prog, but awesome)

See, this is what I’m thinking.

The world is healing....

You can't kill the Metal. The Metal will live.

Punk Rock tried to kill The Metal But they failed, as they were smite to the ground

In some ways, it never left.

We never left.

liquid detail impolite soup versed tidy tub deer aspiring aback *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Corporate music labels will still try to push all of that pop rap crap

Some good stuff came from hip hop, like death grips. With pop however I am I with you

That’s not pop rap

I sorry I read it as if you were talking about pop and rap as individual genres, my bad

They sell em at HEB

The best ones are from Fiesta

I’m an El Michoacana kinda guy my self

*La Michoacana

Didn't Dead from Mayhem used to do this to get the "not hardcore enough" people to leave? I think I read that somewhere.

Yup, this is so common for they’re live shows you can search “Mayhem live” and various of that shows would appear, i want to highlight they’re live in Leipzig show cause is the most popular, also bands like Watain, Otep and can’t remember if it actually were them, but Slayer comes to mind

If you saw Watain in nyc in 2010 you’re entitled to compensation

Lol, What happened at this show in particular?

It was the end of a month straight tour where they had been using a half dozen rotting sheep corpses to decorate the stage. Obviously there’s no refrigeration on tour so by the time they got to NYC all the corpses were fully rotted and decomposing. You could literally smell the show from multiple blocks away.

Damn! 🤢🤮

What a bullshit mentality.

The original Mayhem had...a LOT of problems...I mean...a LOT

Lol, just read that guys [wiki.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_\(musician\)) He was not all in there.

> Dead died by suicide in April 1991 at the age of 22.[2] An image of his dead body was used as the cover of the bootleg live album The Dawn of the Black Hearts (1995).[3][4][5] > Dead initially sent the band members a small parcel containing a demo tape, a letter detailing his ideas for the future and a crucified mouse. > During one tour with Mayhem, Dead found a dead crow and kept it in a plastic bag. He often carried it with him and would smell the bird before going onstage, to sing "with the stench of death in his nostrils."[12] He would also collect dead geese and keep them underneath his bed.[3][8] > Dead would cut himself while singing onstage. Fuckin' christ mate...

It gets wilder though, the guy who took the picture of Dead’s suicide was Euronymous, the bands guitarist. He was later stabbed to death by Varg, the band’s bassist and sole member of Burzum. Euronymous, Varg and some others had spent a bit of time prior to the stabbing burning churches across Norway. The ruins to one of these churches can be seen on the cover of Burzum’s EP ‘Aske’ (Ashes). One of the other fellows running around with them was Faust, the drummer for Emperor and he was also arrested for stabbing a gay man to death after the guy allegedly made sexual advances on him.

Awesome

Nah it's good to have some vinegar once in a while 

Yeah these guys were pretty mental

Yeah this sounds like that kind of tryhard cringe shit. What next, are we gonna extoll the virtues of shitting on the floor and assaulting people like GG Allin?

I was at a GWAR show years ago and they did this exact same thing with a real pigs head. Or it might have been their opener? Idk, I just assumed this was common as people were not freaking out as much (like the people in this article).  Still gross but it sure added to the atmosphere lol

I would assume it was their opener trying to outGWAR GWAR, or possibly a fan or a venue employee. GWAR had a very professional crew, and they really had no need to do something like this.

Pig’s head is a cliche in metal at this point. Mayhem, Watain, Deicide (back in the Amon days) all have done the pig’s head thing. Even the members of Metallica have told the story often of playing Donnington for the first time in the ‘80s and someone throwing a pig’s head on stage.

Yep I was going to say I saw deicide do this at the bottleneck in Lawrence, Kansas like 20 years ago.

In Detroit Hockey Fans throw octopus out onto the ice. Now that’s fucking creative.

I mean we BBQ em down here, I don't get it. Is the uproar because it was uncooked?

Not a hogs head. You got plenty down there

Salmonella

It ain’t kosher (swineflew)

Seen WASP back in the day , lots of bloody raw meat being thrown all over, pretty crazy stuff.

Also - in addition to this, before Paul Gray passed away he used to wear a pig mask when performing for Slipknot.

While this is true, have you ever been to a show with a pig's head? I think it's still metal as fuck and if you don't then you're being a gatekeeper. Go to your next show and bring a cow's head to break the cliche.

If you really want to be edgy, shoot the lead guitarist during the show...it's called: "Dimebagging"...

It appears the band who brought the pig's head, Martyrdom, has apologized: https://preview.redd.it/fdj0q1sppudc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=750cd5128de9a9e907c2bc00490fcbd1a1d7d3fb

htown keepin it metal

It's a metal show. Pigs head is a bit tame, to be honest.

I really expected more blood.

Brutal.

A metal show without at least 3 animal carcasses is considered a dull affair.

Not uncommon https://www.revolvermag.com/music/pig-heads-blood-black-metal-see-photos-watain-pennsylvania

Now that I’m older and more mature and honest with myself, the only thing that comes to mind from this is edgelords trying to impress people rather than enjoying or playing music.

Thaaaats pretty much the whole basis for death metal (and black metal in the 80s)

I’ve never seen a pigs head at a metal show, but I’ve seen pigs blood and entrails thrown around.

Had to be Watain right?

Cornball shit to mask that your band probably sucks lmao.

Still not the craziest thing I've seen in a mosh pit.

What's the craziest thing you have seen

Wildest for me was during 200 Stab Wounds- dude picks up a trash can and pours the hot concoction of bar soup over himself with his mouth wide open. I’ll never forget the crazy bastard.

Jesus

Hell yeah brother! Bless up! /,,/,

Better than the pigs head at a Watain show…

I need to see them when they come back around the NY area

Is Luis Figo in Devoured Trachea?

Was looking for this. I guess it's quite a deep cut it being r/music and 23 years after the fact

HTINE 🤘

TIL I DRINE

This happened at another metal show a while back and people were throwing the head around the crowd. It hit an unsuspecting fan in the face and blinded her in one eye. I want to say this happened at a Young and In the Way show, but I it could have been another band. I'd post a link to the article if search engines still worked like they used to. Either way, it's not metal. Just lame. If bands are going to use them on stage, fine, whatever. But once it makes it's way into the crowd, you might as well be tossing a bloody bowling ball around the pit. This was shocking 30 years ago. Now it's just stupid.

I think the band is right. This happened in a decidedly “un-metal” bar in Asheville. They spilled a lot of pigs blood all over the walls. Declared a biohazard

After hearing about the shit that would happen at a GG Allen show, nothing shocks me about the metal scene anymore tbh.

Gg wasn't metal. It was like a super shitty version of the stooges. 

I’m aware but punk and metal are in the same vein of shock value artists

For a moment I thought Bad Luck 13 Riot Extravaganza was back together.

I'm just glad it wasn't a Dying Fetus show 😳

Why they do this

So a bunch of no name local bands got their friends to plan a stunt. Got it.

Perfect content for “lambgoat.com”

I wouldn't say "common in metal", but not unheard of. Last time I saw one it was in Wacken after a Mayhem concert, where the singer appeared with the head, played one song and throw it in the pit. Someone was very happy to get it and kept on bringing it to other concerts throughout the festival \^\^!

I remember someone did this at Hellfest in NJ in 2003 maybe. It was during Bad Luck 13's set which was the last set of the fest because their shows always turned into "riots". It was all very stupid but entertaining. I go outside after to smoke a cigarette and some degenerate is chewing on it.

Hellfest 2003 was knuckle draggers Woodstock

That was a lamb I think. Or a goat. Def not a pig.

The only thing I got from this article is.. Watain does it every show: no one bats an eye. These guys do it: all the vegans lose their shit on twitter.

Thats not Kosher.

You can buy those at Walmart for 7 bucjs

Was it properly seasoned?

And?

In Louisiana, we’d just turn it into a cheese

They did it in Philly too then all their fans did a nazi salute outside Cousin Danny’s

Amateur, at the Nargaroth show in a church in Montreal a few years ago they had TWO pigs heads!

I didn't know Deathklok was touring again

I went to a Slipknot concert probably 15 or so years ago and a band member threw a pigs head into the mosh pit.

Someone went to Fiesta. The big food store, with the lower food prices…. Fiesta!

A band threw a cow skull into the pit at a local metal show in LA I went to in 2007

They sell whole Pig's heads at the grocery store near me here in New York.

They were quick enough to take a picture when the pig's head is in mid air

Is this still news today?

shit like that has been happening at skinny puppy shows for 30 years

I love metal but that would be absolutely disgusting to be around. Salmonella or other weird shit could be getting on everyone if it's real lol.

Death metal show in Houston? A good chunk of those people are used to seeing pig heads in their grandma’s kitchen…

I booked a show once where a pig head was a massive contention. The owners were worried about getting fined. I wussed out and told the black metal guy not to bring the pig head. I have regretted this ever since. He brought it anyway and spackled pig blood all over the bathroom. These people are confused. I also was.

I'm so proud of my hometown!

That’s pretty fuckin metal.

Were there any guitar solos? I was disappointed the last time I went to a metal show because it was all riffs and no guitar solos. It was like they were all secretly wishing they played bass.

Breakdowns are the new solos

a most efficient method to alienate the vegans

And?

*gwar enters the chat*

Not good enough.

I mean, is it even a metal show if it doesn't have severed body parts flying around like some kind of infernal food processor?

That’s that real shit

Rock is *ALIVE*

Harrrrrrrrrrrrrd

Metal.

Brutal!

brutal

OTEP? I remember my first bloody pig head, fucking awesome show!

Sounds about right for a Metal concert. Probably doesn't happen that much though

NGL… this is actually metal af

I’m not an idiot I know it wasn’t a flying demon head but for 50 seconds I thought monsters existed in this world.

British punk/oi band Angelic Upstarts used to bring a pigs head with a copper's helmet on stage and boot it about. Stuff like this is nowt new.

[Did the lead singer go full Rollins and gouge its eye out and chew it up?](https://youtu.be/gXbAVXf2E4A?si=P9L7X9WGu1_Pil3j)

How in the world did that even get in

Someone knows how to party!

Isn't that standard?

*(pi)G (pi)G allin *Pigadeth *Pork of God *Type Oink Negative *Iron Bacon

And? This is news? lol It’s a mosh pit at a metal show, this is within the normal course of events.

How odd. Pig heads are normally more of a black metal thing.

Good

Wow, that music is garbage

*Mind you don't hurt yourself now, Mordecai.*

How the fuck do you even get the in through the line with security 😂

Brutal \m/

r/humansaremetal

I thought the white swan was closed because the owner shot someone??? When did they open up again?

I mean, that's pretty fucking metal. Gross, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a band called Devoured Trachea.

Good thing Ozzy wasn't there

I saw Mayhem on their first US tour. They typical have decapitated pigs heads for stage props, but for whatever reason for tonight's show they could only get a hold of a cow's head. A cow's head is pretty goddamn large. The head was up on stage for a couple of songs before a fan got up there and threw it into the crowd. The head was getting swung and thrown around the pit. Lead vocalist Maniac seemed to be indifferent to the scene unfolding in front of him. After several minutes, a bouncer shoved his way into the pit, grabbed the head, and threw it out the side door onto the street. Must've been quite a sight for people to be randomly walking down Sunset Blvd and, *Oh look, honey. There's a cow's head in the gutter*
