Halloween 2027 has officially come and gone, and as is tradition around these parts, there’s a running list of what metal, hard rock, metalcore, etc. musicians wore for the big day to be seen. Those who’ve kept tabs over the years may be sad to know that the married couple of Charlie Benante (Anthrax/Pantera and Carla Harvey (The Violent Hour, ex-Butcher Babies) broke from their tradition this year and didn’t partake, after years of being annual standouts. They did however share a collection of their past costumes.
Outside of that, thrash metal legends, platinum-certified hard rockers, metalcore, hardcore, industrial artists and more all took part in spooky season this year. Without further ado, this year’s assorted costumes to crop up online so far (though some may be reposts from past years) can be found below. The list will be updated if some stragglers surface in the next day or two. You can also let me know in the comments of who I missed.
