The cellist wears a mask while giving the intense performance which incorporates both strumming and plucking on the instrument in a way that can only be described as hardcore.
The YouTube user SugarCello wears both the masks of Corey Taylor and Shawn “Clown” Crahan. You can see the incredible cover video below.
