'Box sized DIE featuring Unfathomable Ruination' is an art installation by Portuguese artist Joao Onofre where the band will be hermetically sealed inside the box before playing for as long as they can until their oxygen supply runs out.

Once sealed inside, members of the public could press their ears to the outside to hear the heavily muted music through the sound-proofed casing. (credit:LEON NEAL via Getty Images)
