172 pages, A4 format. Published by Cult Never Dies and Crypt
Publications in 2017. All art by David Thiérrée, text by Dayal
Patterson.
His work is as meticulously crafted as it is imaginative and otherworldly, his
vision inviting a suspension of disbelief and immersion that belies the
supernatural subject matter. Rich in technique, atmosphere and attention to
detail, David Thiérrée’s extensive back catalogue of work is presented here in
print for the first time.
From his occult-inspired early days illustrating for black metal bands
such as Behemoth and Gorgoroth, through to the spectacular folk/fantasy art of
today, ‘Owls, Trolls & Dead King's Skulls: The Art Of David Thiérrée’
stands as evidence of a genuine talent. Includes approximately 200 images
in both colour and black and white, interviews with the man himself and words
from a number of renowned illustrators and musicians, including Adam ‘Nergal’
Darski, Mortiis and Nocturno Culto.
