Before we head off into the blustery night to take in Slipknot, Coheed and Cambria and Trivium at Madison Square Garden, we thought we'd leave you with a new nightmarish image from Mike Hrubovcak, vocalist for Monstrosity and Vile and macabre artist extraordinaire. Indeed, we are pround to present his first DVD cover art for the upcoming Wildeye film "Gothkill."

This latest project was quite refreshing. I always wanted to break into horror movie packaging and I happened to stumble upon this interesting company called WildEye that put out some really crazy off the wall kinda films like "The Bloody Ape" and "Blitzkrieg - Escape From Stalag 69." Doing zombie or horror flicks would be ideal for me, but I'm also a big fan of a lot of cheesy "B" movies and a
lot of the stuff that Troma puts out like "The Toxic Avenger," "Cannibal! The Musical" and Igor and the Lunatics."
WildEye gave me the opportunity to work on their newest release "Gothkill," which involves burning witches at the stake and making deals with the devil to slaughter goth kids at a New York goth/ vampire club. The movie features vast array of New York City fetish dancers, fire performer Flambeaux
and a special appearance from Mistress Juliya.
It may not be zombies, but its got plenty of fire, violence, satanism, nudity and the killing of goth kids, which isn't really a far stretch away from the death metal environments I normally work in. Since this could very well end up on the shelves at Best Buy, I had to tone down the gore somewhat and keep the brutality tasteful for distribution reasons.
