just doing (done?) an interview for the rock/metal magazine revolver in america - for the column “visions of disorder” in which they tell the story behind the creation of classic and iconic album covers - my “infamous” deicide “cover”, “once upon the cross”, selected after a readers vote - it also apparently appeared in a feature they ran titled “graphic violence: the most demented, depraved, and demonic album covers of all time!” - so much controversy over barely two square centimeters of (out of focus) gore hidden inside the sleeve [reproduced above in greater clarity] - of course after all this time my recollections are poor but it’s nice to have something different to talk about instead of the usual “why did you move to japan” type interviews - it’ll appear in the issue due out the first week of november if anyone at all interested …as i said in the interview, nowadays it feels like another trevor brown did it - how (un)fortunate i never got inundated with cd art requests from other death metal bands following that cover - not one, ha ha!
Some time ago this guy -> http://www.myspace.com/loliripe asked me to ask you for an album cover. I explained that you probably wouldn’t accept non-payed commissions (probably? :D)
It’s not death metal, but I’ve been obsessed with “oh loli all” for a long while!!

urgh!, venetian snares meets iosys - “any TRUE artist wouldn’t give a fuck about the money and would be grateful for the exposure” - i’m probably not a real artist
disappearing posts huh
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!
You did the cover for Once Upon the Cross?!?!?!?!!!!!
That is one of my all time favourite album covers (not to mention album), I can’t believe you’re the guy.
That is so cool man.!
