With recent stirrings from the Zhrine camp I’ve been revisiting this masterpiece. Heralded and revered; a monument to it’s place in time. Unortheta.

[SECRETS FROM THE CLERGY]
Have you ever looked closely at the design of the Prequelle Exalted limited version?
by Zbigniew M. Bielak
Think of escape routes or just find your way around the Abbey.
It is a map.
What was once only present at strategic points on the property for the newest Siblings of Sin to be located, now is on your hands.
The thicker lines represent that there is a second floor, following them. The left image shows the new security and surveillance installation buildings.

Happy 11th birthday to this gem ♥ I recently learnt some cool facts about it.
The Sound of Doom to Come was one of the two working titles Tobias had in mind for Infestissumam (possibly a reference to Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come?).
His original plans included involving his sister Maria*:
My idea is that my sister Maria should paint it.. But the draft (that is the work of Gurra) gives you an idea of how next album will look. Dark and Majestic. I'm also thinking that there should be a glow around the little antichrist so Papas cape will be illuminated from the inside - if you get my meaning?
However, management and former ghouls didn't seem to be exactly on board with this first choice, so Infestissumam (Tobbe's second choice) became the main album title. Once Zbigniew M. Bielak came into the picture, the artwork took a new direction entirely too as we all know.
I think the funniest thing (to me) is Tobbe's reply to all of them:
Ok, boring people. No "The sound of Doom to Come" :´(
Poor baby was disappointed. The Sound of Doom to Come is a bit of a mouthful perhaps so I don't know how I feel about it. Regardless, I find the album's backstory fascinating.

From Zbigniew M. Bielak:
Before it became what you all know, Impera started out as a whole different beast. When I began working on the cover art, I was still very much oriented towards dark and unsettling vibes set by Mgła and Imperial Triumphant cover artworks I did not long before. In my work I always strived to balance elusive feeling of unease and some kind of monumentalism, as I believe that’s what makes art great. It’s not easy and it relies on nuance if anything. So naturally I wanted to convey such grim vibes on Impera, pushing it toward Giger vibes present on To Mega Therion cover as it resonated very well with the Crowley theme. Albeit less literal and more abstract with emphasis on unholy geometry of heptagrams and new grucifix. In the meantime we decided to bring out the cathedral interior and as you can see from last images, I redrew all the architecture retaining basic geometry along the cityscape on back cover. I also mirrored the centerfigures face and hands for I believe much better visual balance. So, there you go - everything good is born in throes of painful process. And all that for the better in the end. Enjoy.

Another one from the hospital, heavily inspired by Ghost and their cover artist Zbigniew M. Bielak. Perhaps I'll paint it some day.

250. The Wild Hunt - Watain (Black Metal, 2013)
Art by Zbigniew M. Bielak
On 15 June 2014 the band performed a 'special' show on their "The Wild Hunt" world tour in NYC at the Brooklyn Bazaar. This controversial performance went on to draw attention from news outlets due to the band drenching the crowd in pig's blood, and allegedly causing members of the audience to throw up.

Jesus is coming (Ghost lore)
In the book of revelation it’s said that Jesus “is coming with the clouds and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him” do you think that’s what’s being inferred here?
Are they poisoning him or force feeding him his own (metaphorical) blood? The wine they’ve desecrated during black mass? (..While giving him a lobotomy with the square hammer?)
Can anyone tell what’s going on?
