Here's Monstrosity and Vile singer Mike Hrubovcac of Visualdarkness.com checking in with his latest unpublished piece of macabre art. It's from the upcoming self-titled Gorevent album. We've got but one question. Is there a practical reason someone would hang corpses in ropes of razor wire? Does it somehow help with the difficult job of body disposal or is just a cool way of displaying your trophies? Leave your answers in the proper biohazard receptacles. Now, here's Mike:
This illustration was done for the Japanese band Gorevent, who are on the Japanese label Macabre Mementos Records. Gorevent is scheduled to play the 2008 Tokyo Deathfest, a big goregrind festival over there. This is the cover concept I much ran with after they mentioned razor wire or barbed wire corpses. The language barrier between us made it hard to understand what they wanted, but they trusted that whatever I rolled with would be more than acceptable.
So, I took the razor wire idea and pictured a scene of a dark alley, perhaps so hidden and obscure that such a gory atrocity could actually take place. I figured with the amount of dead bodies that lay entwined in razor wire or within the dilapidated rooms of the buildings, there would probably be a small river of blood puddled down the alley. Like most of my work, this was done digitally in Photoshop using mixed media / photo manipulation / airbrush with the wacom tablet.
