    WATAIN POSTER SERIES by ERIK
    DANIELSSON / TRIDENT ARTS

    The Watain poster series consists of 10 individual Watain posters created by
    Erik Danielsson / Trident Arts for Watain concerts between 2010 and 2015.
    Previously only used for online purposes, this is the first time these posters
    are printed in large, physical format.

    Erik comments:

    "Every time Watain has been booked for a festival I have made a unique
    artwork piece for the event, both out of need (since festival posters always
    look horrible) and out of the will to underline the graphical essence of
    Watain. I have also taken the liberty to only feature bands from these festival
    line ups that Watain has something to do with in one way or another, bands that
    fit into our universe and whose logos blend in well with our visual idea. An
    artist creates his own world on his own terms, and these posters are exactly
    about that.

    While far too many bands end up using whatever graphic that comes their way, we
    have always been cautious to not let anyone else speak on our behalf in that
    regard, since I believe that graphical art is as important an element in a band
    as a song or a lyric. These posters -behind which lay many days and nights of
    work- are a result of this approach, and it feels good to have them available
    now in this noble large scale format for those who appreciate such things as
    much as I do."

    Erik comments on poster 5/10:

    "This poster was created for Watain's first Japanese tour, in support of the Lawless Darkness album. A quite hysterical and detailed design, resonating well with my experience of the country in question (the main cities in particular). The bigger photo in the collage was taken by my friend Ester Segarra, and the others are from previous tours we had done for the album.The Japanese lettering says "Buraku Metaru" ("Black Metal"), and is scissored from the backside of the 2nd Venom LP, a band whose early visual imagery doubtlessly served as a reference point for this one."
