Attached to the table will be a metal structure that supports a life size prone human form hovering 4 feet above the journals comprised of suspended bottles of John U. Abrahmason’s flesh and blood approx 200 vials in all.

The creators of the soundrack that will complete the exhibition are the people behind Asiluum, Costin Chioreanu – Guitars (Nightpray) and Marius Costache – Ambients, Field Recordings, Production (Discordless).

John U. Abrahamson:

“I have been working with an unbelievably creative group from Bucharest, Romania in conjunction with “Flesh and Blood.” They have put together a soundtrack that creates in sound what I am trying to do with paint. I will be featuring their work on the night of the opening. They have been sending samples over the last 6 months or so but the latest sample is breath taking in it’s portrayal of my work. Color me spent from listening! I can’t wait to share!”

Costin Chioreanu:

“I was shocked when I find out from Marius that John contacted us through Asiluum for a collaboration. Now I’m shocked that we really did this, and he will really use
it during his magnific exhibition. I like very much his themes and I consider this a huge opportunity to prove worldwide that music is not dead and that artistic relationships have not borders. “

OST Mountain Fest

admin — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 18:16:03 +0000

I have the pleasure to present you the brand new..brand I build up for the OST Mountain Festival, the second big Romanian initiative regarding metal music festivals, after the sad cancelling of Rock City Open Air, a totally failed project. The managers behind OST Mountain Festival presents a lot of guarantees regarding this fest, so I guess everything will be ok this time. I hope this logotype is the beginning of a nice and long collaboration with these guys.

OST Mountain Fest will take place between 6 to 8 August 2010 on Valea Cerbului, Busteni, Romania. The first edition of the festival will bring together fans of the rock music, bikers and regular population and it’s aim is to raise awareness among general population regarding the environment.

Nightpray / Dreamocracy (Details and front cover)

News – details about new album from my band Nightpray.

The second Nightpray album will be released on 15/03/2010 by Asiluum internet label, after 2 years from the highly rated debut “Five Hours Before And Sometimes After”. The new album is entitled “Dreamocracy” and it supposed to be another piece of dramatic madness on the shores of avantgarde/post black metal land. Mr.Clandestine (Dodheimsgard) is now a full-time member of Nightpray and all the bass parts were recorded by him, back in Norway. Another notable collaboration regarding this album is the one with Mr.S, the leader of the strange Romanian group Satanochio. He done all the vocals and also the second guitar for this record.

You can check out the cover of “Dreamocracy” here:

More info, track list, videos from the recording process and audio previews will follow, during next weeks.

How is this art coming after the one made for Ulver, hah? ))))))))) I guess this is a good proof that I really don’t give a fuck about getting stuck between genres and ideologies, I just like this music and this kind of art and that’s all. Why this shouldn’t be enough?

Here is the horror. And you can check out these great gentleman crew coming from Edinburgh – http://www.myspace.com/cancerouswomb

As the swedish dirty satanic death metalists Demonical will make an European Tour with Deathbound and MyOwnGrave during February, I received a evil task from them. This way was born this old-school evil design for their official tour t-shirt. Enjoy and maybe you can catch them on tour to buy one!

Echoes in egophobia

Some of my artworks received nice and unexpected echoes! It’s about the series done for Satanochio – “Siberian Winter” and all that Revolutionary mouvement that we tried to build up at the end of 2009 on their myspace page. It seems this collection of 3 artworks were good enough to be published in a culture on-line magazine.

Hey hey…hello! This is the first artwork I did in 2010..published quite fast isn’t it? )

Yeah,It’s about the Romanian technical death/thrash metal band Spectral. They have great ideas regarding lyrics and concept for their new album, so it was a pleasure to collaborate with these guys. The result (of a very good brief received from the band – something that you don’t receive daily actually , hahaha) Is below:

As a true fan of this huge black metal band, I consider that it’s a must to use my skills for their great cellebration of 25 years of Pure Fucking Armageddon!

Here is an artwork that I made for them, I hope that one day the band will use this for their purposes.

Hail Mayhem!
