Taking burlesque to the ninth circle of Hell, Sign of the Beast Burlesque merges titillating dance with heavy metal.

S.O.T.B. features burlesque, drag, aerial, circus & performance arts, pole dance and more, all set to pounding metal.

Based in Portland, OR since 2010, we work with local metal bands and performers from across the nation to bring you shows that encapsulate everything that we love about metal: corpse paint, giant props, spurting fake blood, studs, spikes, viking goddesses, giant hair, leather, bats, beasts!

Come party with us!
