Death Metal Artwork collects the illustrations done by Canadian painter Sv Bell for heavy metal record labels. Featuring the works done between 1992 and 2012 for bands like Kataklysm, Amorphis, Gutted, Wombbath or Morta Skuld, to name a few.
This book leaves all the floor to the paintings, it is presented more like a portfolio collectible rather than a text-based informative work. Paintings are displayed full page without any logo or overlay type, and shows some samples of the use of the artwork on records, CDs, picture discs or various merch.
*Expanded edition! Now includes album covers from 1992 up to 2020!
Whether it's nightmarish monsters or beautiful seduction goddesses - sometimes both represented in the same creature - the artist's unique world is disturbing and luscious at the same time. This is also why Sv Bell's paintings have been used by some of the most important heavy metal record labels and publishers.
