    Phil “Landphil” Hall commented on the album:

    “This album feels like some of my darkest material yet. I filled these songs to the brim with atmosphere and riffs. There are moments during the album that truly feel soaked in classic ‘90s underground blasphemy.”

    The first single, “Heavens That Burn And Eons Divided,” can be found below. Hall added the following about that:

    “We picked out this track to be the opener on “Lost Within The Astral Crypts‘ because it perfectly depicts the insanity within the album. We took great pleasure in making the atmosphere and riffs as dark as possible. There are so many doors open within melodic black metal that I wanted to explore. This song touches on a little of everything within the album and offers a perfect setup.”

  • Guns N’ Roses Frontman Axl Rose Announces “Appetite For Destruction” Graphic Novel Series

    Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has joined forces with Sumerian Comics for a new graphic novel series calles “Axl Rose: Appetite For Destruction.” Pre-orders can be found HERE and they are expected to ship in January.

    Further information was shared in a press release:

    “Legendary Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose has teamed up with Sumerian to launch a brand-new multi-volume graphic novel series, Axl Rose: Appetite for Destruction. Pre-orders are now live exclusively at sumeriancomics.com

    “Axl Rose: Appetite for Destruction is a raw, neon-noir fever dream, part rock anthem, part cyberpunk prophecy. Axl and I built a world where rebellion isn’t just attitude, it’s survival,” said Nathan Yocum, Sumerian Comics Co-Founder and series co-creator. “It’s Axl like you’ve never seen him before, on the front lines of a battle for humanity’s future.”

    “Primary Wave is thrilled to have a partnership with Axl and to extend his legacy into a bold new medium,” said Bart Saunt, SVP Brand Partnerships at Primary Wave. “This graphic novel creates a new IP centered on Axl’s iconic presence and uncompromising spirit, and provides a foundation for a larger narrative that will extend well beyond the page.”

    ABOUT THE GRAPHIC NOVEL

    Set in a neon-drenched Paradise City where humans and robots are meant to co-exist, Appetite for Destruction follows Axl Rose, a half-human, half-robot who lives on the fringes, and finds solace in the music of a back-alley lounge singer. When she vanishes under mysterious circumstances, Axl’s search for answers drags him into a deadly conspiracy, one that could decide the fate of humanity itself.

    Created by Nathan Yocum and Axl Rose, with art by Frank Mazzoli (DUNE: Edge of a Crysknife, Rebel Moon: Nemesis), colors by Antonio Antro (Hell Is Us, The Offspring: Come Out and Play), and lettering by Micah Myers (American Psycho), the series blends cyberpunk worldbuilding with the spirit of rebellion that has defined Axl Rose for decades.

    PRE-ORDER BUNDLES

    Fans who pre-order will have access to a range of exclusive bundles available only at sumeriancomics.com. Collectibles include a map of Paradise City, a Collector’s Coin, an Axl Rose figurine, and—at the most limited tier—an Axl Rose signed bookplate.”
