Origination:
It lasts pretty long to release such works filled with very own ideals.

Apart from the music itself, I always liked the beautiful and detailed front-cover arts and I'm still totally fascinated by the graphical representations of many releases in Metal.

It oftentimes happened that I bought records only because of the cover, though the music did not please me that good. That's pretty crazy, but that's what an addict collector does.

That's why I think it's a shame that some genius cover artists, unlike the bands, did not get known accordingly.

One day I came up with the enthusiastic and richly inspired idea of ​​putting together a compilation myself.

The overall concept of the series should be an opportunity for bands as well as for cover artists to get more attention.

That's why I always work very closely with the graphic artists who make the front cover according to my vision.

After the realization of a new sampler, I send a lot of promo to countless media, and I never tire of telling them that they should also write something about the cover artist!
