Sinners Bleed

CLANDESTINE (EARACHE, 1991) Sinners Bleed is the second song from Entombed’s Clandestine album and it’s among their best-known songs. It’s also one of my favorites from this band. Entombed have played this song live every time I saw them, which probably tells a lot about this song. In 1993 I wanted to paint the whole …

Entombed

ACTIVE: 1987– Entombed is a truly legendary band from Sweden. Along with Dismember, Grave, and Unleashed, they are often referred to as one of the “big four” of Swedish death metal. Ever since I first heard Entombed’s second album Clandestine, I was hooked. I remember that my crew mate Rosk was also very much into …

A New Level, II

VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER (ATCO, 1992) A New Level is the second track on Pantera’s maybe the best album, Vulgar Display of Power. And naturally some decades after it’s release, I’ve been wanting to paint or draw something more up-to-date from it. So far no graffiti, but at least I managed to draw a few …

A New Level, I

VULGAR DISPLAY OF POWER (ATCO, 1992) A New Level is the second track on Pantera’s Vulgar Display of Power album. For some reason, when I first heard the album — and for a few years after — I didn’t pay much attention to it. But over time, I found myself liking it more and more. …

Pantera

ACTIVE: 1981-2003, 2023- Pantera was a heavy metal band from the U.S. They had a long career that came to an end in 2003. My interest has always been on their work between 1990 and 2001. I was introduced to their music by my crew mate Tango. This happened in 1992, right after the release …

Satan Spawn, the Caco-Daemon, I

LEGION (ROADRUNNER, 1992) Satan Spawn, the Caco-Daemon is the opening track on Deicide’s 1992 release Legion — still, to this day, my favorite album from the band. I was so influenced by the album that I actually chose Caco as one of the many alternative tags I used during the ’90s. Here’s a soft/bubble letter …

Deicide

ACTIVE: 1987– The killing of God. Anyone who knows me and my graffiti history should know that I’ve had a soft spot for Deicide for a very long time. I think most of the band references I used to write during the nineties came from Deicide, Pantera, and Entombed. These bands were the cornerstones of …

Maanpetturi

SINGLE (MÖRSSI RECORDS, 2024) Maanpetturi (Traitor) is a political rap song. It is performed by artists Steen1 and Julma Henri, over the beat by Loasteeze. The song is dedicated to the Finnish right-wing government, and especially to the prime minister and finance minister of this very administration. It is the first rap track Steen1 has …

Carosol Kid

VARASTA POMOLTA (MONSP RECORDS, 2005) Carosol is a rust-preventive spray that comes in black, white, and grey. It’s really thick and doesn’t drip at all. For a time, it was very popular among graffiti writers, especially for outlining or highlighting pieces. So, as you probably guessed, Carosol Kid is a love song about graffiti and …
