Forming opinions so you don't have to!

I've been slack, have some art in the meantime.

I've seriously got about four reviews done for stuff I found last month, but instead of putting those up, half assedly editing them, I'm gonna post links to websites for guys who've done album artwork I've liked. I've been posting these to people who are looking for Tattoo ideas, and some of this stuff you can't go past.

Heads up though, it's gonna be pretty much all metal. If that stops you from appreciating it though please feel free to fuck yourself.


John Dyer Baizley is the guy responsible for the cover art for Pig Destroyer's 'Phantom Limb', All of Baroness' records, and a few other bands.





This next guy, Justin Bartlett did the cover art for The Secret's 'Solve et Coagula'. I'm a big fan of his detail, and the artwork itself is fucking gritty.



Finally I'm going to post Alex from Fall of Efrafa/Light Bearer's blog. His detail is insane. He's also done concept art for books, most notably Watership Down (go figure) and Alice in Wonderland. There's a lot on here, and while I've only shown it to two people, they were as blown away as I was.


Alright, that's enough. I'll finish those other posts later. I'll do a review for Baths - Obsidian, got one in the work for Shellac I think, should do one for Queens of the Stone Age's new album, Appleseed Cast, Joy Division, Capt'n Jazz... shit I've been busy half assing.

In the meantime, the Unwound Archive got updated. You can read an interview about the period when the band broke-up. Really interesting story there about alcoholism and the inability for people besides the drinker to cope with it. Very insightful.

Until I'm less lazy then people.
