Who’s got more bodies stacked as a result of their job than Ronald McDonald? No one, I tells ya. So when a band got together to dress not only as the aforementioned mascot clown but his merry band of artery cloggers, but do it while performing impeccable Black Sabbath parodies, it made sense. Hence Mac Sabbath.

We’ve been following this band for a long time now, sharing singles when they crop up and highlighting the moment they played for the Prince of Darkness himself. So when they went on tour and hit a venue near us, we knew we had to document the occasion.

Naturally, that meant we sent the one and only Jess DeSimone out to the Brooklyn Bowl in Philadelphia this past Friday to get the shots. Like our very own Peter Parker, she did what was asked and did it exceptionally well, as you can tell from the images below.

As always, a big thanks is in order for Jess Ripper, who was at the show to take these great photos. Comment on how good her work is down below. Oh and feel free to follow her on Instagram at @jess1ripper.
