My favorite civilization, you cannot be more metal than ancient Mexico.

They had priests walking around in suits made of human skin, the entire skin of a person, like some macabre handie/footie pajamas. And those were the nice ones. Towers of thousands of skulls, historians thought it had to be a Spanish exaggeration until they found it. Thousands of people would be sacrificed for one “holiday” (and eaten). Unbelievably brutal. Also, best God pantheon hands down.
