Black metal fashion

Black metal fashion refers to the style of dress preferred by listeners of black metal music.

Clothing is black accessorized with silver jewelry, including pentacles, Thor's hammers and inverted crosses. There tends to be also a focus on spikes on leather, often worn on the wrists. Males affect a rugged, long-haired look, while females attempt to look both attractive and dangerous. Most males will wear heavy white foundation.

Most of the 'kvlt' Norwegian bands take this to an extreme level in their band photos and stage costumes. Gauntlets, axes and swords as accesories, leather pants and long untamed hair, as well as the quintessential Corpsepaint.
