Our good friend and long suffering photographer Sam Ryley has a pal called Russ in Chester who makes all the giant weird puppets for their annual bonkers pagan festival where they parade through the medieval streets and then have an orgy in the town square.
He said that he had some giants puppets of demons and weird fucked up creatures so we thought that would be perfect to go and do a photo shoot.
It all turned out like a cross between Scooby Doo and The Hardy Boys.
Matt's got a raging clue in this photo.
Here's a photo we didnt use.
Rob Halford seems to have joined the band in this shot.
Looking at it now - I think this photo is pretty awesome.
Russ's headgear is spectacular.
Practical too.
