Love was apparently in the air last week as several couples in the metal world all tied the knot, while likely creating some potential scheduling havoc for their peers in the meantime. First up, Anthrax/Pantera drummer Charlie Benante and Carla Harvey (The Violent Hour, Lords Of Acid, ex-Butcher Babies) said I do in a wedding officiated by none other than KISS legend Gene Simmons. A piece on that was published over at People, with members of KISS, Anthrax, Pantera, Nickelback and more all in attendance.
Also getting hitched last weekend was Mastodon drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor, who married Calina Walker. His Mastodon bandmate João Nogueira share the below photo from the nuptials, which were attended by Deftones vocalist/guitarist Chino Moreno, drummer Abe Cunningham, Lamb Of God vocalist Randy Blythe, (who shared a gallery of photos from the ceremony below,) as well Puddles Pity Party and Clownvis Presley. Fellow members of Mastodon were of course also involved, with Brann‘s bandmate in the latter, Troy Sanders, even getting directly involved in the ceremony.
And finally, Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan/Suicidal Tendencies also took the plunge, marrying his significant other Valentina Killough in a ceremony that featured Weinman and co. in a wedding band that featured a number of familiar faces. That ceremony was attended by members of The Dillinger Escape Plan, Suicidal Tendencies (Tye Trujillo, etc.), Metallica (Robert Trujillo), Korn (Ra Diaz) and more.
