Morten Andersen Satyricon & Munch

Please Visit the Full article on Patreon Synopsis: Morten Andersen’s Satyricon & Munch is a perfect example of the collaborative capacity between music and the photobook. The collaboration between black metal heavyweights Satyricon, Andersen, and the Munchmuseet exemplifies a rare chance to see three dominant egos (even if posthumous) work in tandem to produce documentation […]

Fabio Sgroi: No Future, Every Future
