Mad

Timo Ketola (1975-2020)

Maybe some of you already know, on October 12th Timo Ketola, a Finnish artist, passed away suddenly. He created several incredible covers for bands like Watain, Teitanblood, Deathspell Omega and many other bands. He did great contributions to Metal and art, he had an incredible background in extreme metal creating and designing artworks, his artistic visions were unique and fascinating. You can see the rest of the bands he collaborated with over the years: https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/Davthvs/144223

Art is very transcendental for me and he is one of my favorite artists ever, I feel a great admiration and respect for him, for his talent and for who he was, this simply devastated me and I feel profoundly sad...

His art and his essence will remain with us. You will always be remembered, Rest in Chaos, Timo.

These are some of the artworks he created:

The synthesis of Whore and Beast, Svartidauði

Sutekh Hexen/Hissing Split

Seven Chalices, Teitanblood

Casus Luciferi, Watain

Paracletus, Deathspell Omega

Hi Maddie, welcome to the forum.  I can dig all of the bands you mention, hopefully you’re going to find a few more from our recommendations which are usually stickied at the top of each genre section.  Hope to see you around.

That's exactly why I'm here. Thank you so much!

Greetings!  What arts are you interested in?

I love almost every art expression. But I'm so into painting, drawing, photography and filmmaking. These days I've been very obssessed with Jesse Draxler and Daniele Valeriani artworks.

I don't know how to introduce myself, but I'll try. I'm Maddie and I'm glad to be here. I like most genres of metal, but I love Black, Heavy and Death. My current favorite bands are Nifelheim, Angel Witch, Dying Fetus and Deathspell Omega. I also love arts and videogames.
