Nicola Samori
Italian painter Nicola Samori is a man out of his time. He paints meticulously detailed Baroque-style portraits reminiscent of Caravaggio and Van Dyck.
Samori creates eerie and chilling figures that live in a world I’d be happy only to observe from a distance. Flesh melting, decaying, at times he even rips paint right off the canvas only to reveal deep and ominous black holes. His works are gorgeous and relentlessly captivating.

I almost forgot — metal is really about being drunk, pissed, offensive, and satanic. I have Bestial Mockery to thank for this. Their no-frills black thrash is barebones and snarling without being too dead-pan serious. These guys from Sweden are clearly having a blast worshiping the Dark One in the tradition of old-school bands like Venom, early Bathory, and Sodom. Nothing too original here, but it’s fun as hell.
