About this title

Synopsis

"Making ugly bands look cute since 2009." –Jeff Walker CARCASS

Chronicling the last decade of Mark Rudolph’s metal-related illustrations, caricatures, album covers, T-shirt designs and posters in one volume.

Mark’s unique ‘Mad Magazine’ take on extreme metal caught on with readers and bands alike, leading to him working with some of extreme metal’s most celebrated bands. Profane Creations: The Metal Art of Mark Rudolph features bands like Carcass, Autopsy, Broken Hope, Dismember, Black Dahlia Murder, Paradise Lost, King Diamond, Celtic Frost and so many others.

The curated art within is filled with notes and process commentary in a lavishly printed, large scale format. It’s a who’s who of heavy metal from the 80s to present day.

"Mark's depth of subject knowledge, attention to detail and old-school references have been an integral part of Decibel since 2009. We've had a front row seat to his stunning evolution, and now, so do you." –Albert Mudrian, Editor-In-Chief Decibel Magazine
