Given his warpaint, dark clothing, and facial expression that captures the angst and existential suffering of humankind, you might assume that this exuberant young man belongs to Homo sapiens juggalo—whose ranks have been gathering in southern Illinois this weekend to drink Faygo and pelt Charlie Sheen with trash.
As it turns out, he's an attendee of the Bloodstock heavy metal music festival, which took place in Walton-on-Trent in the UK this weekend. While Juggalos on these shores enjoyed the talents of Sheen, Dustin Diamond, MC Hammer, and Vanilla Ice, among others, Bloodstockers over in England made the devil sign for Motorhead, Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P., Angel Witch, Skeletonwitch, Imnotawitch, and other bands that used to freak out everybody's parents, back when innocence still existed. Many of the metalheads also dressed up quite nicely, as the following pics show. [Image Bethany Clarke via Getty]
