Watain - Part 7 Of 10 Of The Watain Poster Series - Screenprint

The Watain poster series consists of 10 individual Watain posters created byErik Danielsson / Trident Arts for Watain concerts between 2010 and 2015.Previously only used for online purposes, this is the first time these postersare printed in large, physical format.Erik comments:"Every time Watain has been booked for a festival I have made a uniqueartwork piece for the event, both out of need (since festival posters alwayslook horrible) and out of the will to underline the graphical essence ofWatain. I have also taken the liberty to only feature bands from these festivalline ups that Watain has something to do with in one way or another, bands thatfit into our universe and whose logos blend in well with our visual idea. Anartist creates his own world on his own terms, and these posters are exactlyabout that.While far too many bands end up using whatever graphic that comes their way, wehave always been cautious to not let anyone else speak on our behalf in thatregard, since I believe that graphical art is as important an element in a bandas a song or a lyric. These posters -behind which lay many days and nights ofwork- are a result of this approach, and it feels good to have them availablenow in this noble large scale format for those who appreciate such things asmuch as I do."Erik comments on part 7/10:"The threshold of the unknown, the thin veil between life and death and the passing through the twilight gate, are some of the underlying themes in the movie Opus Diaboli. Although it tells the story of "the band" Watain it also, naturally, touches on many profound and sacred subjects, such as the process of spiritual and physical trancendence through means of music and magic. This piece was done with that in mind; a human vessel driven from its natural habitat, through the borderlands and into the vast night beyond.",
