[Text written way later than the release of the book = set date for post. Obviously.] The guys in GENERAL SURGERY called and asked if they could send one of my photos from the 2012 photoshoot to some book project they had some part in.
Didn´t see any problems with that so agreed and totally forgot about it until sometime in 2023 I met the Doctors/malpracticioners Sahlström & Skytt for lunch and got the book for myself as a present! Thanks Urban!! A beautiful book packed with blood, guts & gore. Very much appreciated and it totally deserves an own page here even if my own contribution is limited to only one picture:)
The book is sold out by now but Heavy Music Artwork has loads of other awesome books if you´re a fan of the aesthetics and art in metal.
