My metal band, Demonic Whisper, is nearly done with their EP album - Rock & Rise - all we're waiting on are for the songs to get mastered and pressed.

I had nearly full reign on the cover art, which was fun.... though I started this over a half year ago, and if I were to start today I'd have gone in an entirely different direction. Oh the difference time can make, even in a few months. As it is when I had started it I was pretty burned out, so in retrospect this has a foundation based on exhaustion... which I'm not horribly pleased about. But, live and learn.

None the less, I poured a lot of hours into this over the last month or so - most of it was enjoyable :)

Cool thing to read about :)

Yep, this will be the album cover. Graphic designer is putting the whole package together soon, and within a week or so we can send everything out for the final touches.

Haha. That's metal.

There was really a time of my life where I let "how metal something is" rule the outcome of my paintings. Man- that was fun.

It's a horrible way to improve. But it sure is damn fun ;)

I do believe my next pieces will be significantly less metal haha

I was going to say that it was the ingredients to making a good waffle. But as it turns out, I'm tired - it's a very rough Latin translation of some song lyrics from the title song.

If anybody knows Latin well, we'll look like idiots, but hey, it's metal, who cares ;)

The purpose to the Latin was that it's often associated with spiritualized demons, creatures of the night, and has such a great deep history - it gives it a mystical look that I like.

And it's shiny.

It is shiny at that. And lol to the waffle recipe. You could have said that and I would likely have been like :O really haha.

I like it anyways. Main point there. Tis very nice.
