“57 years ago, CAGLIOSTRO, the great adventurer and occultist, transcended the physical plane. Leaving behind a legacy shrouded in rumor and superstition. In memoriam, his estate has been opened to the public and his collection made available. Explore the rooms of a haunted historic Detroit church, transformed into a gallery space for two nights only.”

“Cold Hours in Kingdom Skin”
for @viscous_key / @boginfinity
Additional art/ panels for the LP and included booklet.

“Debut full-length by this Detroit-based project.
Extraordinary somber and numinous mix between Dark Ambient, often even with a Dungeon Synth-leaning sound and aesthetics, and Death Industrial music.

Sounds for the charred, steaming aftermath of a battlefield. Covered in blood shed for a cause, lost hopes and iron will that served as fuel for barbarism and ascension beyond death.”
– Rites of Pestilence

Portraiture for @necr o fier

Early October, Nate and I (as part of @thecoinlives) had the opportunity to fly down to Texas to film the band performance portion of the “Servants of Darkness Guide My Way I” video.
We managed to squeeze in a somewhat impromptu photoshoot as well.

I’ve said it before, but their new album is their best yet. Genuinely stoked for all the attention the band is receiving as it’s well deserved.

“No Peace”
for @nomasgrind / @redefining_darkness

“D.C. Grindcore crushers NO/MAS return with a vicious new album blending hardcore speed, death-metal heft, and razor political urgency. One of the East Coast’s fastest-rising extreme bands, they deliver their most precise and punishing work yet.”

Thanks to @breelzebubb for modeling/ collaborating.
