Although my logo designs are an old feature of this website, I have taken it out of the main menu and placed it in this new section, where I present and promote my own artistry and that of others.

Since I have been involved in metal music, I have always been designing (band) logo's. I made them for (unrealised) projects of myself or for people I was/am in contact with. I have contributed to the scene with my own independent designs, designs based on a band's or person's original idea, and re-designs of logo's already in use.

In the summer of 2008 one of my oldest friends, Paranoia of black metal band LANZ, recorded his third full-length album in both my own humble Noise Studio (the base tracks) and Hellchrist Xul's professional Necromanteion Studio (all instruments, sfx, and vocals). Because Lanz has always been a neglected but effectively original band, I decided to take up the promotion of this new album of industrial black metal - because Lanz deserves to get around the world! And somehow it worked, because Lanz has found a label in the young and upcoming Post Apocalyptic Music company.

Since Lanz suffered a similar desertion from Geocities as my site had, I have also taken it upon my shoulders to host the ORIGINAL LANZ WEBSITE.

Because I have always always been a fan of the designs -logo's and otherwise- of fellow Coldeemstorft and Veghe musician Embernach, I have created a space for him on this website, showing you his distinct artistry, mostly typified by well-balanced, but intricate and decorative line work. Just click HERE to see some of his designs.

Although some of his logo's are still or have been in use by various bands, I feel he can really contribute more to the music scene. Although he is an admirer of old-school black metal, old-school Swedish and Autopsy-like death metal, traditional doom metal, and neo-folk, it is no real problem to design for bands outside of this personal niche. However, I know he will not design anything that clashes with his personal ideology and standards.

Early 2009 I heard that my old band was signed to the great Spikefarm Records from Finland, and since I have always done the designs for the band, my help was needed again... After (c)-problems with the S.A.R.S.-version album cover, I had to re-design the whole in a more sober layout. Together with the band's drummer Arvath I worked on the design as shown on the left.

The album has been released by Spikefarm in April 2009.

Early 2009 I received word that ShivaRage (formerly known as Shivadarshana Records) is re-releasing its own back-catalogue, and among those is the debut album of my old band Liar Of Golgotha. "Dancing Through The Palace Of The Ungodly Beauty" will be joined by the three tracks from the "Vendetta" mini-cd and a never-heard rehearsal bonus track from 1995 with special guest Nergal of Behemoth on vocals.

I decided to keep things close to the band and started with my own concept-design of the re-release, gathering all the old lyrics, and a lot of hardly seen photo's and flyers from the earliest days of the band. I don't know how much of it will remain in tact, but at least I have done my share!

I think the planned release is early 2010.
