Dead Demon Rider and his friend, Maximum.

Photographer Frank Marshall has been shooting Botswana’s metal scene for his upcoming “Visions of Renegades” show in Johannesburg. Meet some of his subjects, Dead Demon Rider and Maximum  – two of the fiercest (and most fashionable) Botswana men around – and see them strut their stuff in this clip:

I love how Frank Marshall describes this scene:

“The costumes are like an arms race amongst the scene members […] There’s a competition between them to see who can look the most brutal. When I was in Botswana, I was carrying 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 games.”
