We have been talking a lot about artwork lately here on Metal Storm and now sadly we have to report the passing of Oslo-based photographer/graphic artist Alf Børjesson. He was responsible for the artwork on Dimmu Borgir's 2001's Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, 2003's Death Cult Armageddon and the 2005 re-recording of Stormblåst.
Dimmu Borgir left the following message on the band's Facebook: "Our dear friend Alf Børjesson, rest in peace. Thank you for the creative times. Your art will forever live on. R.I.P."
There's never any appreciation to the cover artists here.
R.I.P.
Can I get an amen? Everyone I have shown this cover art to, along with other famous BM covers is disgusted. It's a sad day in the world when people don't recognize amazing art such as this.
