David Thiérrée

David Thiérrée[1] is a French artist born in 1970 in La Rochelle (France). Self-taught, he has contributed since 1989 - 1990 to create images and logos for several metal bands, first for his own band Somberness, then for other bands, labels and fanzines worldwide, including Behemoth,[2][3] Mutiilation, Vlad Tepes, Osculum Infame, The Ancients Rebirth, Graveland, Warloghe, Malleus Maleficarum, and Anwyl. His works can also be seen on several materials from bands such as Gorgoroth, Mortiis, and Gehenna,[4] or linked to the promotion of other bands, like Strid, and Enslaved,.[5][6] Since 2000, he has been more focused on classic Fantasy illustration,[7][8][9] and recently came back to artwork for metal bands. His works have been shown in several exhibitions (France,[10] Belgium, England), and several books are available, in collaboration with Edouard Brasey,[11] Le Pré aux Clercs, Les Moutons électriques,[12] Spootnik éditions, including an artbook,[13][14][15] out in May 2011. In 2017 a large and dedicated artbook entitled 'Owls, Trolls & Dead King’s Skulls: The Art Of David Thiérrée' was published by UK publishing house Cult Never Dies [16]
