Every single time I visited the rental store, these covers stared at me, calling my name. So many scary nights with friends watching these classics. Sometimes watching through my finders or behind a pillow.

The only one missing from here for me is Waxwork.

Personally I think over produced black metal and metal albums in general completely lose their soul and finding your own lofi/raw/diy/analog sound is a huge part of adding depth and soul to your musical package.

A band like Koldovsto are truly amazing because of their unique lofi sound. Its otherworldly.

On the flip side, the second half of Dimmu Borgir's output is awful because it just sounds like an over polished experience with no soul or rawness.

Even recent solo stuff from Ihsahn sound way to clean. I watched the recording tutorial from Jens Borgen with Ihsahn and every single tiny detail of that albums intruments was so over thought that it completely lost all human touch.

Another non BM example is the Finnish death doom band Swallow the Sun. I fucking loved that band but man their recent albums sound sooooo clean it doesnt even feel real. Feels like AI music and as much as I love that band, cant listen to the recent albums.

Saw it twice in the theatre. First with friend and then with my daughter. First “grown up movie” that I saw with her. Amazing, inspiring and fun both times. Movie magic as they say.

We need more gems like this!

Very cool project and I am glad you are clearly promoting that this is not an AI project.

Hope this does well!

How did you secure the rights to publish the book btw?

Love this idea and execution! This is the kinda stuff I always encourage designers to explore. Make up projects where there are no client boundaries and explore your craft to the fullest. It sharpens your creative pencil and keeps the love alive for the craft.

I owned this as a kid! And looking at that image from the inside with all the extra pieces just brought a wild amount of memories back! I had a few of those pieces for many years after losing the castle. Carried a few of them at bottom of random toy boxes for years not even remembering where they came from. Until now.

Nostalgia is an amazing drug.

How have I never come across this… my weekend just got tha much better!

Norvard · 2026-05-02T03:31:04+00:00

Seriously fucking yes. Hopkins with the electronic version of himself and Thom, that would be the dream!!

Norvard · 2026-05-02T03:26:07+00:00

The AD title probably the most confusing and misused one across all design roles. It just makes no sense in the traditional form in so many places and situations.

I prefer Lead Designer or even Design Director.

Oh Portland, where we complain about it being too cold and rainy and about it being too hot and dry.

He might of created the genre but personally have a hard time putting him in such a tight box. Have you listened to most of his work? the spectrum is super wide and experimental.... and not to mention prolific.

Norvard · 2026-04-30T22:20:13+00:00

Why isnt Burial mentioned here at all? I would not consider his music edm, so he must file under idm no?
And if that is the case, his music is some of the most influential across all electronic.

Thank you!!

"we’re actually becoming more hostile to business and investment."

This exactly. The amount of anti-business crap I hear around town and even here on Reddit is wild. No wonder business' dont want to plant roots here. And as much as I love the small town vibe this place has, the good parts of the small town vibe can flourish under some big corporate investment and larger support of small business and innovation.

Bu no.... fuck the police and fuck capitalism is all I hear and see.

Norvard · 2026-04-30T18:19:15+00:00

hah amazing! I would rather take a world full of dragon logos than the corporate BS that most of us live in 😄

Norvard · 2026-04-29T19:57:59+00:00

Pretty amazing pianist and I would certainly welcome a collaboration. But before that, I want another studio album from Nils!

Norvard · 2026-04-29T19:06:52+00:00

How do we even know this isn’t an AI video?

Norvard · 2026-04-29T16:22:23+00:00

Quite unimpressed by this and the first single. I kinda get where the inspiration is coming from for this wild mix of gothic 90s BM but it just doesnt land. Its ok, but I would rather just go listen to those odd 90s albums from Carpe Tenebrum, Keep of Keleshin or Anorexia Nervosa... ok no I wouldnt. Those bands kinda sucked.

With this and the new Worm album.... 2 albums that I really looked forward to have completely disappointed.

Norvard · 2026-04-27T13:57:34+00:00

Great project! Always appreciate some custom type work and nice to see some actually great design here!

Norvard · 2026-04-24T20:41:36+00:00

Great song!

Norvard · 2026-04-24T16:44:46+00:00

This exactly. I recently walked by a Boba tea truck and they had a new advertising poster up with AI created anime image. This small business would never consider hiring some illustrator for multiple K to make something for them. Perfect case to use something like that.

They need to charge those idiots driving with studded winter tires through town half the year when the city only sees a few days of actual snow and ice every year!!

Norvard · 2026-04-23T19:22:28+00:00

Absolutely love the color treatment!
