Hey,
I`ll show some of paintings here. I am an Illustrator and Concept Artist  who loves  Fantasy, Horror and Sci Fi.

Here's a painting I'm doing for the cover of the string quartet's upcoming album.

Here are some older sketches that are thematically related. None of these have been turned into paintings yet; doing them justice in a life-size format will take a lot of energy.

Since Ghouly asked whether I had any ideas for the album cover, here are two stages of a sketch I'm working on today. It's very small (for me) - about 5 or 6 inches wide. This will get used as a guide when I make a larger finished piece, either painted or in oil pastels most likely. I rarely do this; I used to be content to visualize and approach large pieces independently with no sketching, but I feel like I'll get a better sense of composition this way.

For all fans of the Game of Thrones series and friends of badass cover songs. I would like to recommend you this version of the Game of Thrones opener.

If you sit back and take stock of Gorguts' near quarter of a century's worth of releases you won't find one that comes anywhere near to trumping "Pleiades' Dust".  That's a very bold statement given the quality that is littered throughout their discography, including such gems as "Obscura" and "Colored Sands".  The fact is however that "Pleiades' Dust" is the best thing Gorguts have ever done.
It isn't flawless either, but when you hear of bass and drums being dropped in one take you have to take a step back from pointing out human foibles and simply admire the effort and gumption to try that in the first place.  You see, the process that Gorguts utilise in putting this track together is brilliant, probably best described by another review I read whereby they compared Lemay to Martin Scorsese.  He just puts his format in place, his story, his script - call it whatever you want - and lets the rest of Gorguts do whatever they fucking well like!  Naturally this only works with accomplished musicians, which luckily Gorguts have spilling out everywhere.
 
The barrage of bass-heavy, spiralling, rarefied, abstract and arcane death metal that Gorguts create on "Pleiades' Dust" just happens to be the most well composed piece of music you'll hear this year.  Marstons' bass work is as formidable as you'd expect, you only lose track of it when it isn't there during one of the many atmospheric interludes/intro/outros.  I read a comment on one of the sites streaming "Pleiades' Dust" from a disgruntled fan who "fell out" with the band when "Obscura" came out and as far as they were concerned the latest offering was more of that "dropped bass shit".  I am sure Luc if he had read that would be full of apologies for taking the band off in a challenging and enigmatic direction and leaving the poor fan in question crying over his Unleashed albums.
 
The fact is that the instrumentation on display here is sheer artistry, it isn't mean't to resemble much of anything else out there.  That's the point of music to me, after over 25 years of listening to metal I have heard my fair share of the same old same old.  At my age I want to be knocked on my arse by music not wrapped in a warm blanket and left feeling cosy and safe.
 
Take the drums for example, you won't hear a more proficient yet subtle performance anywhere.  Hamelin is restrained yet firm, has presence but is never smothering, he lets the other instruments breath whilst supporting them superbly.  Whether it is the tribal thuds or atmospheric "tishes" when required, Patrice does the job everytime.
 
Hufnagel's guitar work deserves your attention, it thoroughly earns your time as you invest it in following his lead work as it winds a serpentine path through each movement.  Texturally a perfect accompaniment to Lemay's work it should be noted also.
 
At the heart of it all "Pleiades' Dust" still remains a death metal record and that in itself is cause for applause because Gorguts take the map they laid down on "Colored Sands" and build on the avant-garde and downright weird sections throughout "Pleiades' Dust".  They are a band rooted firmly in the ground of death metal yet some two decades on are now producing some of the most challenging and cabbalistic music in existence today.
 
I could go on for paragraphs more yet about this and still never do the EP real justice because only your ears can do that.  It is without doubt the best release of the year so far and is one of the most astonishing pieces of music written in a long time.
