Inanimate

I think Inanimate was an earlier incarnation of Khem? Not too sure. I remember they were from Sweden and never really did anything before changing name.

Xombie

Yet another high school project of mine. Another friend and I wanted to play some cybergrind after having listened to a lot of S.M.E.S., Urine Festival and the likes. Turns out we had no idea what we were doing, who'd a thunk! We made something like 20 songs for a digital demo.

After 2011 we took a break. None of us had time to do stuff. Then in early 2014 we got together and made some shitty music with REAL instruments this time! We're still trying to get around to printing the Designated for Disapproval demo EP. The results can be heard on Facebook here.

Zerberus

A logo I did for my own screenname that I used at the time. This is a pretty early logo as I recall. Probably 2008.

Warhound

The Cobra project mentioned in an earlier post ended up being Warhound. The logo looks a lot harder than the music was. I stayed with the band for a long time when I was young, but we never got anywhere so I quit after some years.

We were heavily into Manowar and the likes, so the logo was naturally inspired by that.

I did the sketch, but someone else did the photoshopping of the logo.

The logo ended up being used on an album after I quit, entitled World Domination Operation, as seen below.

I think it was subsequently used on a few more covers, but I'm not too sure about that.

The Crypt Behind the Throne

A logo made for a fictitious band. I was heavily into Celtic Frost at the time of making this, and I wanted to make something mysterious but evil and black metal inspired. I also really like symmetry. Done in 2010.

Stalk

Logo made for a fictitious band in the style of Frightmare. Very horror inspired! Done sometime in 2011.

Stonsdorf

Another high school project between a friend and I. We wanted to play some black metal, but we weren't really serious and we never got around to actually writing any music at all. But we had a great time taking stupid pictures and drinking the beverage after which we took our name, the wonderful Stonsdorfer Krauterlikeur!

If we had recorded something, this would've been our album cover. A for effort!

Obviously we were very trve and kvlt.
