There’s more to being a Slayer fan than obsessing over serial killers, satanism and warfare, collecting box sets and feuding with Megadeth. If you’ve been to a Slayer gig you have probably also crossed the lens of UK photographer Sanna Charles, who has spent much of her grown-up life following Tom Araya, Jeff Hanneman, Kerry King, Dave Lombardo, their predecessors and their fans around the world.
This exhibition is a tribute more to the fans than the band. Photographed around the venues of Slayer shows in the UK, Oslo and Helsinki, they appear to be a friendly bunch (many of them too young to remember the Studio 54 show of ‘84). Charles says she is drawn to the ‘nostalgic timelessness’ of metal culture. Her work plays on the contrast between primal mosh pit shots and intimate fan portraits. This exhibition is presented by Vice and Insight.
