Perkeros #[nn]

From JP Ahonen and KP Alare comes Perkeros, this 2014 Panini Deutschland release whose cover immediately commands attention — a dark-haired guitarist rendered in smoldering reds and deep blacks, hunched over an electric guitar with an intensity that practically radiates heat off the page. Ahonen's cover art, drenched in fiery amber and shadow, captures something raw and urgent at the intersection of music and darkness. If heavy riffs and brooding atmosphere are your thing, this one belongs on your shelf.
