Pike has trusted these artists since the beginning to depict his vision. The cast of artists includes Arik Roper, David V. D'Andrea, Santos, Brian Mercer, Skinner, Jondix, Stash, Tim Lehi, Jordan Barlow, and Derrick Snodgrass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey created brand new, never-before-seen works specifically inspired by each album, including one large illustration to define the chapter ahead and two additional vignettes directly inspired by the songs. Each artist has their own bold and iconic style that perfectly complements the breadth of Pike's various works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese prolific artists transport the reader further into a far-away landscape of ominous Lovecraftian entities, shrouded in wondrous and esoteric darkness. Together, they have redefined the way we perceive Underground Doom Metal these past twenty years, and it is our honour to showcase them together along with the incredible written word of Pike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596557304044,"sku":"9781644282236","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11b0d873d17634d459866e69f544d2e9.jpg?v=1777941418","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/head-on-a-pike-by-matt-pike-9781644282236","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
