Philadelphia extreme wrestling-themed metal band packs a punch leaving revelers covered in blood, scars & wooden stakes

A FAMOUSLY ferocious and "ultra-violent" metal group has made its long-awaited comeback — and it was nothing short of a bloodbath.

Eat the Turnbuckle returned to the stage for the first time since 2016 on Thursday, leaving themselves black and blue as they were beaten, stoked and impaled with deadly weapons.

Exclusive pictures captured by The U.S. Sun show the wrestling-themed music group at Wrestlemania in Philadelphia, taking part in the final night of the Battle Royal Bloodbath.

Shocking images show hulking members of the band joined by deathmatch professional wrestlers as they were thumped with bizarre deadly instruments including a baseball bat with a saw installed at the tip.

Audience members were sprayed with blood as one topless wrestler, Necrobutcher, took a florescent light bulb to the face.

Heavy metal music rang out as another stood open-mouthed with around eight wooden stokes impaled into his forehead.

In another moment of terror, wrestler Terrex could be seen obediently kneeling as he was crushed with a chair from above.

Concertgoers were warned to "expect a pit full of the MOST insane, current, independent death match wrestlers," according to the advertisement for the weekend event held at the Underground Arts center.

Other acts playing at the event included Ringworm, Antiseen, Fang, and Ground.

It comes as band members Captain Hook, Chubb Rock, El-Shak-O, Jag-13, and Beer Dust get set to star in a documentary about their rise to stardom and decision years ago to take a step back.

In the lead-up to the release of the film, Stabbed in the Face, the group released their first track in years entitled, The Best There Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Ever Will Be.
