Metal fans in Botswana have school a manner sense that would n’t be entirely out of place in your favorite eighties Mad Max rap - off . Kalahari metalheads combine a cowboy aesthetic with lot of leather for an idiosyncratic , end - times - warrior look .
lensman Frank Marshall has been shooting Botswana ’s alloy scene for his approaching Visions of Renegades show in Johannesburg . Batswana metal fans draw inspiration from such icons as Motorhead ’s Lemmy Kilmister and are always looking to one - up each other in leather - cloak badassitude . Notes Marshall :
The costumes are like an munition race amongst the scenery members [ … ] There ’s a rival between them to see who can look the most brutal . When I was in Botswana , I was carry around a few of the previous metaller portraits I ’d done . The locals admired the guys in them . But they also felt compelled to raise their sartorial game .
These two sharp - dressed men nickname themselves “ Dead Demon Rider ” and “ Maximum , ” a moniker I would altogether go by if I had to have a single - word cognomen . you’re able to see more of Marshall ’s picture taking atViceland , and here are some Batswana metal fans rocking the post - apocalyptic desperado look .
