The guys from ALEISTER and I have been friends since the end of the eighties, and I’ve done most of the artwork for their previous releases. So I was glad and it felt very natural to collaborate with them again on the visual identity of their second album “No Way Out”, 24 years after the first one.
The drawing has been done with graphite, charcoal and color wash. CMYK + metallic silver ink print.

I have previously shown the artwork done for the special tour edition CD of IGNIVOMOUS’ new album “Hieroglossia” in August. Now is the turn of its regular edition, on both 12“ gatefold LP (entire artwork elements below) & jewel case CD formats, soon to be released by NWN Productions. This work is printed in CMYK plus silver metallic Pantone color.

After the demise of CHAOS ECHŒS earlier this year, here is its final manifestation under the shape of a double CD entitled “Remains”, planned to be released on November 22, through Chaos Echœs Products for Europe and Utech Records for USA.
[…] ”Remains“ is a collection of live recordings.
The first disc, “Ecstasy with the Nonexistents”, is a soundboard recording of a full live set from 2018. Assembled with great care, this set list was only performed in concert once. The concept was to reinvent the songs, re-arranging pieces from “Transient” and “Mouvement” into a continuous three-part suite. The first section is slow, more self-centered than introverted, and obsessive. The second section is atmospheric, dominated by improvisations with bells, flutes, shamanic drumming, and mantra-like vocal patterns. The final section is carnal, wild and intuitive, completing the journey from an aggressive, selfish state to one of abandonment and sharing.
The second disc, “IIIII”, is a compilation of studio outtakes, alternate versions, and live recordings spanning 2012 to 2016. As always, the material is linked conceptually and through the mix in order to create a single long piece that evolves as it goes and echoes itself. The band felt it was important to share these pieces before it all was buried under ashes and dust. […] (from Phil Freeman’s liner notes)
