Today i got a message from FRIEDEMANN showing me the tattoo of the artwork for "In der Gegenwart der Vergangenheit" that he just got. Great work done by SUSANN. It is always a real honor to have a piece of expression ending up on someones body.

"DOOM FOLK" Artwork featured in last edition of "Monochromes-Best of 2019".

Thanks to all the folks at Heavy Music Artwork who are exclusively featuring the artwork for "Doom Folk" as part of their last issue of "Monochromes". I am proud to be amongst such great artists, and want to sincerely thank the publiushers for putting together this collection, sharing the art around, behind and within the music.
Personally, i have always seen the artwork as a crucial part of a release. A symbiosis between aural, visual and intellectual sensation.

You can find and purchase "Monochromes" right here:

As always in these troubled days, stay safe and sane and show solidarity. We will meet soon. CO

I am happy to show you the new Coverart for @FRIEDEMANN´s 2019 Live-Album "Mehr Sein Als Schein" that will released on Exile on Mainstream Records in October.

The motive refers to the album title, which works as a word-play on the basis of the german expression "Mehr Schein als Sein", meaning "making an impression to be more than you actually are" - posing. FRIEDEMANN inverted that saying, demanding an act of liberation to "BE instead of APPEAR TO BE".
The mask has to come off, and is put on a nail in the wall - also this being a german expression, meaning "to quit something", to leave something behind.

It´s my fifth design for the man, and it´s always a challange and truly inspiring to work with him. I find much of what i am looking for also in his lyrics - raw, simple expression, with a connection to the soul as straight as possible.
