This picture served as the cover for the live Blood Axis album, way better than their ‘Gospel of Inhumanity’ in my opinion.

Oh, I didn’t know that but it figures.
Larsson was a great artist with a superb sense of composition. I’ve got a book of his work but it doesn’t include this one, unfortunately.

yeah, if one can get past the neo-nazi fans, they along with Death in June have put out some good albums with some interesting art.
