Metal Cover Artist ANDREAS MARSCHALL Speaks

January 6, 2006

RUNNING WILD's official web site has published an interview with renowned album cover artist Andreas Marschall (RUNNING WILD, HAMMERFALL, BLIND GUARDIAN, DIMMU BORGIR, etc.). A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

RW.net: The cover artwork for the new BLIND GUARDIAN single, which was created by Anthony Clarkson, looks like a copy of your artworks and resembles the covers mentioned before very much. Doesn't it annoy you when others copy your style or ideas?

Andreas: "I don't know the artwork, but it doesn't annoy me. I also took a leaf from other artists when I started, especially Bernie Wrightson, Barry Windsor Smith and people like that. But I believe my style is always distinguishable."

On his upcoming project — a new horror movie called "Tears of Kali 2: Tartaros":

RW.net: What are you working on at the moment? Or is this maybe still a secret?

Andreas: "I have just finished an artwork for the Italian band THE DOGMA, and now I have to hand in the next draft version of my film 'Tears of Kali 2: Tartaros'. We're going to shoot it this year, so time is running short. A film production is such a huge, interrelated process depending on thousands of deadlines and decisions, so it gets going very slowly."
