Single cover art for Swiss progressive punk metal band The Erkonauts. The song I was asked to illustrate is Chaos Never Fails To Appeal, which is featured on their latest album, I Shall Forgive. This track evokes a feeling of rising from the dead for me. So I chose to illustrate an awakening event and display how the heart and mind collectively crave chaos.

Here is my tribute to the most iconic alien of all time: the xenomorph! I created this as an entry for the Ultimate Alien Fan Art Contest and was hand selected by Ridley Scott and company as one of the 5 semi-finalists! Despite not winning the popular vote, this was an amazing achievement of which I am very proud of.

Cover art for American metal project Echopraxia. Candle Cove is an entertaining instrumental journey through a mysteriously spooky but surprisingly playful universe. I wanted the character to appear magical amidst an ambiguous environment that plays with your sense of depth perception.
Release Date: January 27, 2017
This print was created to represent a dark corner of my creative mind. A frigid place where I store mountains of dormant unused ideas. I frequently visit this mental port when in search for inspiration, and thought it would be cool to visually represent this part of my brain.
This piece is currently available for purchase as a limited edition print. Check out the Prints page for details.

Cover art for Tasmanian metal band Zeolite's single, Compulsion. Using the new song as a source of inspiration, I crafted an eerie ritual site where their logo/crest spews powerful dark energy.
Release Date: November 13, 2016
Cover art for Swiss metal band Xaon. The band came to me in search of a colorful cover that displayed a character that could fit within their lyrical universe. I specifically wanted this character, Balaam, to appear petrified of old age. He had lost his crown and his sight, but not his knowledge of the world he has traveled endlessly. Over the years, he has slowly become one with the organic matter and beings of his realm.

This is a portrait of my inner-self. It represents the vicious hunger I have for being an artistic creator. He consumes all of my thoughts and converts them into the twisted visions I share with the world.

This piece shows the formation of a young planet that propagates its inhabitants by harvesting the energy of a nearby sun. An absent alien race cleverly crafted a solar array to power the geothermal wombs that incubate their kind.

An archaic tree that feeds on and builds itself from human limbs and organs. It lures its victims in with an irresistibly sweet pheromone.

Cover art for Canadian metal band Devolver. This record was originally going to be titled “Renewal”, so that was the core of my concept for this cover. A dark burial ground was used as the setting in order to contrast with the bright auras of hope and rebirth.
Release Date: April 29, 2016
This piece was inspired entirely by one of my favorite songs: Permafrost, by the now defunct Swiss metal band Sybreed. Here is the main chorus, "My flesh is cold, I feel no pain, the bitter art of dying fast. A shroud of frost, covers my skin, my bleeding soul is lifeless."

Cover art design for Tasmanian metal band Zeolite. Their self-titled debut is a relentless force of technicality and heaviness with densely dark overtones. My objective with this cover was to represent the themes found within the lyrics in a mental patchwork that is difficult to decipher. It’s dark and muted much like a painful memory that reveals visceral imagery upon further inspection/reflection.

This ancient alien travels through space in search of dying planets. It terrorizes all remaining lifeforms in an effort to collect and store their energy. His plan is to use that stored energy to terraform a planet of his choosing and farm a new species of alien.

Witness an experimental attempt to reanimate a rotten corpse. Someone has fastened an electric device to the subject's skull, and sent a current pulsing through it's entire body. Coagulated fluids explode as the subject shows signs of life.

Cover art for French rock band Mist of Dead End. Their debut EP, Never Explain Anything, has a mysterious atmosphere that ebbs and flows. At times it is hauntingly dark, giving a sense of corruption and doubt, but then there are moments that clear the fog from your mind to reveal some truly beautiful moments. I wanted the cover to have a strange corrupter taking over an abstract city; to represent a technological tool taking over a nation.
Release Date: December 21, 2015
Cover art for Russian metal band DeadHeaven. Their EP, New World, has a great futuristic atmosphere with very catchy choruses. Aggressive mechanical instrumentation drives their music and sounds like it’s from a post-apocalyptic future. My intent with this image was to show what a world would look like if all of its inhabitants were forced to be like-minded. The device I created is broadcasting a brainwashing signal into the atmosphere.

Single panels designed for apocalyptic metal band Deathcode Society's debut album, Eschatonizer. These were created to visually represent two songs from the album; The Inner Vortex and Noos.

This being ekes out its existence in one of the deepest trenches of the ocean. It was once a mobile creature that was caught and permanently anchored by the desperate fauna that lives in the hadopelagic zone. The two have organically fused together and eternally wait for prey to swim by.

Cover art for Canadian death metal band By The Beard of Zeus. My concept for this cover was to represent an evil ancient being that uses organic lifeforms to act as a hive mind.
Release Date: June 20, 2014
Complete album art design for American metal band Aronious. Truth In Perception is a dynamic album full of technical riffs, complex drumming and a dark brooding atmosphere. It was key that the band’s logo was the main focus of the cover image, so I integrated it into an abstract concept of being sucked into a mental black hole. There are multiple eyes witnessing the event, sending signals of decay to the brain.
Release Date: April 4, 2014
Complete album art design for Swiss metal band Ever Since. The cover for Bring Out The Gimp was originally a personal piece that the band members specifically requested to use. I happily agreed and created a full digipak design to match it. The album is full of energy and poetic lyrics that influenced an idea to reveal key moments of the subject’s internal journey.
Release Date: February 27, 2014
Complete album art design for Swedish metal band Humanity’s Last Breath. This is the self-titled album that redefined their sound in a big way. The tone of the art is bleak with heavy doses of contrast to match the atmosphere and power of the album. A bright red was used to highlight specific elements to bring out a sense of malice in certain panels.
Release Date: September 24, 2013
Complete album art design for Norwegian metal band Sphere. Primordial was their debut album, and quite fittingly also my debut work as an album artist. The tone of the art is dark, gritty and spacey in order to match the futuristic and apocalyptic themes within the album. The overarching concept of the booklet was to represent chemical and physical reactions in a fashion that matched my favorite verses and choruses.

I created this print with inspiration from the almighty Gojira's song, Explosia. It displays a man who has pent up his anger and frustrations for far too long. The internalization of these feelings deteriorated who he was until he had no choice but to unleash them in a self-destructive explosion.
