SLAYHER: Philly’s Only All Heavy Metal Drag Show // August 2025
Since October 2018, Philly’s Only All Heavy Metal Drag Show has been shaking the foundations of fame, fashion and fierce in Philadelphia. This legendary dive for artists, misfits and stars alike, Tattooed Mom welcomes you into the arms of Lamia Lust, the cursed queen of nightmares and dreams. In her lair, Lamia heralds the most devious, demonic and gutter trash ghouls to the backrooms runway. Join her and her entourage of evil queens in the filthiest ritual of metal metamorphosis to witness in this modern age. The marriage of heavy metal and drag berths a myriad of abominable forms and incomprehensible beauties, witness the horror of SLAYHER.
Having featured local drag legends, up and coming TV superstars, burlesque, side show, special effects and beyond, Slayher mothers the possibilities of entertainment transcending the constraints of gender, consumerism and fast fashion. Witness the beauty of drag in the filth of heavy metal with cocktails, mocktails, vegan and non vegan delights served hot from the flames of Tmoms’ kitchen! Let go of your limits and take the dive into the fathomless Slayher Screaming Showdown. The most ferocious wail may then hold onto an exclusive prize package from our sponsors and Tattooed overlords.
