I'm a lifelong fan of the Horror genre, though I must admit I'm not quite as into the "over the top" stuff done for shock value. However, I always enjoy seeing music related art. So savage!
Thanks and same Ruben! I am a big horror fan and I think there is some stuff, whether it be art or film out there that does it just for shock value. This piece isn't that though (I don't think you are saying it is either).
I always listened to many different genres of music growing up and still do, and High On Fire is one of those rare bands that has stuck with me due to how technically proficient and extremely heavy they are. Ziritt matched the intensity of the band with this piece and he also successfully captures the mythology of the Blessed Black Wings album. As a fan of both I totally dig it, but do not expect many others to. It definitely helps if you are familiar with the band or a fan of Ziritt.
Great pickup, Tyler. Super ghoulish.
I'm almost certain I saw this flyer when I was walking by the UC Theatre around that time.
Thanks Mark, absolutely is! That is awesome. It's a bummer the show got cancelled.
Hahaha absolutely brutal yet makes me laugh.
Haha without a doubt. Covers a whole range of emotions, that's the true beauty of metal right there.
I've seen a lot of ASM 238 homages, but this one is a "Hell" of a take!
Haha very nice James
2020 and 2021 were defintiely years that people couldn't wait to tear Father Time up. Alexis Ziritt gets to the zeitgeist of the times with this wicked cool art that is also telling commentary.
Excellent point, and well said as always.
Yes! Such a gnarly piece from the amazing Alexis Ziritt. So glad you were able to add this to your collection. Goes great with the Allison Heavy Metal pages too.
Thanks George! Also thank you keeping an eye out as well! :) It pairs quite well with them, one big Allison/Ziritt High On Fire sandwich.
Amazing Spider-Man cover homage alert! This is a great illustration, and I love the homage to the goblin tearing the Spider-Man costume in half cover. (#238). And I always want to tear the last year in half, especially the last few. ;) Heavy metal, dude. Love it. Congrats!
That's a feeling everybody can relate to. Thanks Jason!
That's wild! What a great and imaginative piece! Big congrats. Also, I can't tell you how much I love the fact that it's on a mug too!
