What a nice day to a big blog post



The Face of Oblivion, finished in late July, i think, full of details, details, and more details. Setting up the lake was a real pain in the ass, but it turned out quite well, i guess
Some of the details can be seen here.

Now, some more pretty things that i think everyone must see:

#4: Refer+Staer

#5: Toon Hertz




I've been following his work on deviantART for some time, and everytime he submits something new it always amazes me. He is not only another artist doing dark stuff because is cool, he has a really distinctive style of his own that he always works with amazing characters and sceneries. A must see.

listening: Alice In Chains

listening: Pantera

Mississippi Ghosts

inspired by the music of the almighty Down; bigger && stock credits here

haven't done it in a long time, so here it goes, some recommendations:

music: Dax Riggs. The man behind the great Acid Bath. After their end, he had two other bands, Agents of Oblivion (awesome!) and Deadboy and the Elephantman (haven't check this one yet), and then went solo. So far, two albuns, easily among the best i found recently: We Sing Only of Blood or Love and If This Is Hell, Then I'm Lucky (recorded originally with Deadboy, but released only this year, under his name);

movies: Mark Of The Devil and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie; this last one is probably one of the best zombie movies ever made. They may be not as ugly and decaying as the ones from Night or Dawn Of The Dead, the movie itself may be not as bloody and fucked up as Braindead or Evil Dead, but some of its (darkest) scenes scared me to death and, of course, made me love zombies even more. Also, the (very unknown) actors did a pretty good work on it!
Mark of the Devil is probably the most brutal, cruel and raw movie i've seen lately. It takes place in the 17th century, and follows the story of a witchfinder apprentice and his master. The torture scenes are incredible and it gives you a great ideia about how things worked at that time between the religious ones and the (not always) witches.

and yeah, that's it for now xxx

listening: Dax Riggs

Butterfly

lots of lalalalala today!

1º. some new (old) photos brought back to life:







_{(my first black & white photo)}



i just hope spring brings some more pretty flower photos. i love them =D

2º. old work finally out of the closet:



_{(click image for bigger && stock credits)}

i know everyone has a girl jumping with a umbrella nowadays, but i was playing around and really liked the result, that's why it's here =]

3º. new music:

Cavalera Conspiracy - Inflikted



i've never been a big fan of the Cavalera brothers, but this album kicks ass \m/ Their first work together since 1996, and it sounds thrashy and dirty as the old Sepultura albums, what is great.

Kingdom Of Sorrow - Kingdom Of Sorrow



you join the vocalist of a kick ass hardcore band and the guitarist/ vocalist of 2 killer stoner/ sludge bands and you have Kingdom Of Sorrow.
Jamey Hasta, from Hatebreed, joined forces with the almighty Kirk Windstein, from Crowbar and Down, and the result is a fucking great album, with the usual killer guitar from the bearded chubby guy \m/

4º. what a hell of a movie!



Butterfly: A Grimm Love Story, based on the true story of a man who killed and ate a volunteer victim, it's simply amazing!

listening: Clutch
mood: nhec!
