Thanks to my amazing boyfriend, I have recently started listening to grindcore opposed to "
mainstream" metal, as he refers to it. My favorite band at the moment being Agoraphobic Nosebleed (ANB), though I do like some of their older music I'm more prone to their lastest release, Agorapocalypse, since I'm actually able to hear musical structure. Since being exposed to this alien genre, I've become intrested in a lot of artists such as Florian Bertmer ( http://florianbertmer.blogspot.com/ ) who has done a number of illustration for the hardcore punk . grindcore and metal scene. His artwork is so captivating to me, there are no words I can find to express how it makes me feel. In the near future I plan on buying a few of his prints and hang them around in my apartment.
More so, Bertmer is a kickass artist I do recommend everyone checks him out.
Another illustrator that is known to do artwork for the grindcore/metal scene is Justin Bartle
tt ( http://www.vberkvlt.com/ ) who has done covers for bands such as Gorgoroth, Gravetemple, Trap Them, and others. His work can be described as grim, embellished with satantic imagery, and what's more metal than that? Bartlett captures an eerie mood, that I could easily find in a nightmare, in a good way of course.

And less I forget about Dan Mumford ( http://www.dan-mumford.com/index.php ) who is also associated with album artwork. He's done work for A Day to Remember's Homesick album and many others. Mumford's use of lines and color are absolutely breathtaking- I have seen nothing like his work and find myself in awe. I was able to purchase an All Shall Perish t-shirt, at a concert, with one of his designs and couldn't have been more 
stoked. Money well spent. The fact of the matter is I've been inspired by these artists and to find them associated with great bands is a plus. Many people don't explore their work enough to really appreciate their talent, and I believe they need to do so. Illustrators put the cherry on top of great albums, that's all.
