LORD OF THE LOGOS

This book is a collection of work by Christophe Szpajdel, an artist whose fans in the underground black metal community worship him as the Lord of the Logos. It includes hundreds of logos, each of which captures the force of this musical genre anew. Through his use of aesthetic influences such as art deco and nature, Szpajdel has brought a dynamic into the gothic visuality of heavy metal. This publication, which is done in the style of a black prayerbook, shows not only how he has succeeded in leaving his own visual mark on this music, but how he has also expanded the canon of forms it uses.
