[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.

[Pictures of the book (and video clip) are borrowed from heavymusicartwork.com. Photo from the 2012 photo shoot in Stockholm.]

>>MORE (live clips etc)

GS_logoOur leading autopsy team, GENERAL SURGERY at P.S.O.A! I took some photos (3 first songs as usual), bought a beer and just had a great time watching the show. It seems that they´re even more fun on a bigger stage:) They´ve been touring a lot, but I´ve never seen them outside Stockholm before.
The ”Like An Ever Flying Limb” EP is coming out Nov 6th on 7″ via Relapse Records!
Comment on YouTube: “This album was recorded in a mortuary. The echo is the sound reflecting off of metal autopsy tables. True story.” Haha:)??
Joacim Carlsson – guitar, Andreas Eriksson – bass/backing vocals, Andreas Mitroulis – drums/backing vocals
Erik Sahlström – lead vocals
