Counting Backwards
One of the last artwork projects we finished before celebrating christmas in outer space was Andre Holstad's debut album "Counting Backwards". Andre plays some kind of pop rock noir. The album is recorded at Crystal Canyon and his band features members from Ulver, Cato Salsa, Paperboys, Euroboys, Madrugada and King Midas.

Themes from William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
The vinyl version of Ulvers "Themes from William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" is out on Jester now, available through Neuropa.
As the original version was not possible to adapt to the much larger vinyl format without destroying the graphics we decided to do a complete remake: making new props, taking new photos and redoing the whole design from scratch but staying as close to the original as possible.
"Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, released in 1998, was different from what Ulver had made before. Tore Ylwizaker, a new composer and sound architect, added to Garm’s expanding artistic visions, and together they stepped over the boundaries of black metal aesthetics, creating a genre-defying work. In this album, the musicians blended electronics, industrial music elements, progressive metal and avant-garde rock, adding ambient passages."

Once you're over at Neuropa's store you can also order ALFA OBSCURA's "Plutonian Shores", released by ADVERSUM.
"ALFA OBSCURA's "PLUTONIAN SHORES", a solo BLACK METAL album by BJEIMA, the man behind last years much praised debut album by YUREI, also a member of VIRUS, DELIRIUM BOUND and several more Oslo acts.
Nostalgic but un-sentimental, "Plutonian Shores" is a collection of ferocious tracks merging the weirder side of Norwegian Metal heritage and the obscure grandeur of unforgiving, traditionalist, nineties Black Metal."
Availble on CD in black paper cover printed with varnish fitted with a built-in booklet.

Raining Blood
For the third time since 2005 we've had the pleasure of working with She Said Destroy. As usual with She Said Destroy we were invited to do what we wanted, without guidelines or rules beyond our own inspiration from the music and lyrics.
When we did the artwork for their "The City Speaks in Tongues" album 3,5 years ago the result of this process was subject to both praise and critique from the audience, probably because we've left the genre references completely behind to pursue the meaning of the lyrics instead. Sometimes real ugliness is the only way to convey the message.
This time there's no pink though. "Bleeding Ficiton" is a 27 minute one-track affair. Listen to it on Spotify here
We've also updated our portfolio with the logo for Gravgang, a norwegian blog/webzine covering Black Metal.
