A few weeks ago, nobody even knew who King 810 was. Then, the band got announced for Mayhem Fest this summer and the world collectively went "Who?"
The band has some serious backing behind them, having inked a deal with Roadrunner Records and being managed by the folks who handle Slipknot's and Trivium's business.
As of this moment, the band's Facebook page has about 4,000 likes. Which is why when the band posted the above photo, with no caption, I have to question it's authenticity. I can't exactly prove that this was Photoshopped, but seriously, who in their right mind would do this to themselves over a band who barely released an EP yet?
Update:Â The person's leg has been identified by Lambgoat:

I asked him if it was a tattoo or what and this was the response:
@robinjection no, it's called skin peeling. A form of scarification.

When I further questioned his commitment, he posted this as proof (VERY NSFW)
