Overkill, sketch/outlines.

Overkill

ACTIVE: 1980- Now here’s a band I’ve followed… a long time. I think since their Under the Influence album, which was released in 1988. Overkill is one of those bands that have been there with me all along. No matter which album I listen to from them, I feel like coming home. They’ve never felt …

Altered State

ARISE (ROADRUNNER, 1991) This is the sixth track on Arise, and I consider it to be one of the best songs on the album — if not the best. I could rant all day about Sepultura, but luckily I already have, in a way. So feel free to check out the separate post about the …

Music Reach, outline/sketch.

Music Reach (1/2/3/4)

EXPERIENCE (XL, 1992) Music Reach (1/2/3/4) is the second track on Experience, the debut studio album by The Prodigy. I got into this album three years after its initial release. Still, Music Reach is a catchy and overall awesome track — just like the entire album, in both its regular and extended versions. And that’s …

Rob Zombie, sketch/outline.

Rob Zombie

ACTIVE: 1998– Well, I don’t know about you, but to me Rob Zombie is pretty much the same as White Zombie — minus all the other members. Since the vocalist and main songwriter are the same, the visuals are the same, and the songs are basically a continuation of what we remember from White Zombie. …

Lana Del Rey, sketch/outline.

Lana Del Rey, pt.2

ACTIVE: 2005- Check out the previous post about this pop singer. Since I posted a few Lana sketches, I also want to present a couple of them that I actually painted on a wall. About the choice of colors: as we all know, Russia launched a full-scale attack on Ukraine in 2022. Out of solidarity …

Lana Del Rey, sketch/outline.

Lana Del Rey

ACTIVE: 2005- Lana Del Rey? Yeah, you read that right. Not exactly heavy metal, right? Even so, I really love her music… and videos! And I got into her music through a rather unusual path. You see, I’ve been hooked on David Lynch movies and TV series for years. The general atmosphere and moodiness I …

Astro-Creep: 2000

ASTRO-CREEP: 2000 – Songs of Love, Destruction and Other Synthetic Delusions of the Electric Head (GEFFEN, 1995) This is the fourth and final studio album by White Zombie. After this, the band disbanded and the mastermind behind it, Rob Zombie, continued his musical endeavours under his own artist name. In other words, White Zombie became …

Aakkosmurha, sketch/outline.

Aakkosmurha

ISI KÄSKEE – EP (SONY MUSIC, 2019) Aakkosmurha is both a single and a song from Paleface’s Isi käskee release. The song is good, and it’s about alphabets. Aakkosmurha literally means “alphabet murder”, and that’s exactly what Paleface is doing here: he’s killing it with his rhymes, going through the alphabet and delivering individual words …

Kill Everyone, sketch/outline.

Kill Everyone

PURGATORY (MOUTH OF BELIAL, 2020) Kill Everyone is the opening track on Purgatory by The Project Hate MCMXCIX, and also the most recent album (so far) for which I’ve created the cover art. Like most of The Hate’s material, the song runs well over ten minutes and unfolds as an epic journey against everything holy. …

Paleface could be described as left-leaning, and he has been active at many political and social events. A man with his heart in …
