Rock / Metal journalist Ramón ‘Oscuro’ Martos unveiled the cover artwork for his upcoming revelatory book "...And Justice For Art: Stories About Heavy Metal Album Covers". This one-of-a-kind collection of stories recounts all the particulars behind the making of artwork as iconic as SLAYER's "Reign In Blood", MORBID ANGEL's "Blessed Are The Sick", METALLICA's "And Justice For All", BLACK SABBATH’s “13", DEATH's "Symbolic", CARCASS' "Heartwork", CORMORANT's "Dwellings", MAYHEM’s “Grand Declaration Of War", TESTAMENT’s “Dark Roots Of Earth", OPETH’s “Heritage” and many others.
“Working on the "And Justice For Art" book was an amazing experience,” comments illustrator Vertebrae33. “Ramon Oscuro Martos has an unbridled love of Metal art as well as a tremendous amount of passion and vision for his project. As an illustrator, there is nothing better than a vision realized and the satisfaction of the client. I am excited to see Ramon's project come to fruition!”
Martos comments: “Today’s Metal scene is overflowed with illustrators and visual artists; however, just a few posses the ability to create distinctive images, rich in detail, colors, and conceptual depth... That’s the case with Vertebrae33. Since the very beginning he was able to understand that "And Justice For Art"’s cover needed to be iconic and conceptually related to both Metal and Arts. I believe this book will coherently provide fans with plenty of first-hand information regarding to the creation of many iconic Metal album covers. The artwork created by Vertebrae33 perfectly introduces the reader to that world where music and visuals become one.”
