Went looking for a graphic designer to work on an upcoming project and ran across this spiff fellow. Jobert Mello. He has done album covers and what not for a wad of cool Euro Metal Bands. I'm really diggin his work. He should give me a discount for sharing! It's called SLEDGEHAMMER GRAPHICS. I think he is re doing his site just now.

nice draws, I think that "metal" (the complete genre) has the best desings and draws

mmm...I can appreciate the skill and quality but overall his style has a very dated 80s feel. Just IMO.

As a contrast, check out these TSFH album covers designed by Steven Gilmore.

Take a look at the artists. Very much an 80's Metal influenced Bunch. So yeah, it's totally got that vibe.




BTW who is TSFH? Is this your project?

Two Steps From Hell, they're one of the top trailer music studios. It's a duo of Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix. Nick is also an instrument producer for East West Quantum Leap. Thomas also recently released an amazing solo album called 'Illusions'. Here's one from TSFH and one of Thomas' solo pieces...
