Post subject:  Opinions on Black Metal visuals
I'm doing my thesis about graphic design in Black Metal, and I would like to know the opinion of the forumites about the following topics, this to expand the visual archive of my work.

1. Artists with better/unique corpsepaint:

2. Most representative clothes, chains, spikes, etc

3. The most interesting logos:
(don't name Dso, that's simply the best)

4. Albums covers:

Thanks in advance :dio:

I'm not that into black metal but here's my two cents at least:

1. Gaahl (Gorgoroth/God Seed)
2. I want to go for spikes, but with later bands, pure pitch black clothing (Ihsahn, Taake) seems to be the fashion. Don't forget the viking/black bands that uses a lot of viking effects.
3. The bigger and more unreadable the better
4: erhm.. blank there.

Yes, Gaahl has one of the most interesting corpsepaints.

If you could post some pics that would be great.

Names please, for the second wave I would say Darkthrone, Ulver, Mayhem, maybe Marduk. Those are the most representative.

The album art to Tentacles Of Whorror has always impressed me. So has Leviathan's logo.

Wintry forest landscapes ftw.

WITTR - DiademImage

ReverenceImage

Nightside Eclipse Image

Heart of Winter Image

Add Ulver - Bergtatt and Nattens Madrigal.

How icy scenery relates to satanism would be an interesting analysis. Simple but interesting enough to the the uninformed.

Khold and Emperor have two of my favorite logos.

Maybe for Chthonic for the corpsepaint angle?

Ghost Paint eh? They look like some asian vampires in a RPG called Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines. Thanks, I'll add them in my corpsepaint section.
