Anthony St. James is a NYC based photographer. We had the pleasure of working with Anthony in 1997 when he shot our previous band in Seattle. After 11 years, it's great to see his progression and success. Epic work.
We just finished the artwork for the new Copeland record "You Are My Sunshine" and the above images are samples from the CD booklet. Good friend and Tooth & Nail A&R guru Jeff Carver shot the beautiful Holga photographs. The record is available in regular and special editions.

Metallica playing their new track Cyanide at Ozzfest. No explanation necessary.
Mike Giant teamed up with Sharpie® to create his very own signature model pen. Mike has been using sharpie's to create amazing artwork for years, so it only seems right. Kudos to the folks at Sharpie® for recognizing great talent and not being afraid to endorse a "graffiti artist".
All Known Metal Bands by Dan Nelson is a McSweeney's book featuring the names of over 50,000 metal bands. I saw it on the shelves at Easy Street and had to own it. It was only $17 and even features this band. Not bad at all. Oh, and you'd never guess how many bands are named Nemesis.
