I just saw this new painting by Wes Benscoter on his IG page for a forthcoming Arrow Video blu-ray release of City of the Living Dead:



He also had another recent gem that was created for the Ronin Flix release of The Church:



What's your favorite Benscoter artwork?

Damn. This is the cat who did the Absurd cover? This stuff legitimately puts me off my feed. Not a negative judgement of his ability mind you; obviously a very talented fellow.

Indeed:



Benscoter has been revered for years in the metal realms, and I think it's great to see him being recognized and commissioned for horror films/soundtracks as well.

Yeah he’s great, some of my more metal head fans are big fans of his.

I really hope that city of the living dead release is a US release

Yeah this guy does really great work.

i think the Slayer - divine intervention was my first viewing of his work.

I've met up with him a few times in the last few years, got some sketches and an art book, really cool dude.

Nice! He also created Nile's Black Seeds of Vengeance and a Mortician cover in the early 2000's. Do you have any additional info on that art book? I'm not familiar.

I picked up a De Rossi/Fulci tribute print from him a year or two ago:



Also, check out this excellent cover for Vampyros Lesbos:

Mortician! That was how benscooter came up in convo recently, I’ve been racking my brain. They are local band for me and a friend of mine was pretty tight with will rahmer back in the day, I think I may have been at a big party with him at another mutual friends house a number of years ago.

Love that Vampyros Lesbos!
And all the other stuff. But big Vampyros Lesbos fan! Soledad Miranda! Such a shame she died at 27 years of age.

Special thanks to @monsterworship for helping with a copy of Benscoter’s private press art book:


Metal covers only, but quite the bloody history leading up to the current madness being created:

Wow. Looks liek excellent quality printing.

Manchester Morgue!

Benscoter created another killer sleeve for Death Waltz. The inner gatefold is excellent and goes well with the sound fx gimmick:

He honestly did a fantastic job emulating Kaida Yuji Godzilla art. I just got the art book of Kaida's work and I was looking on the sleeve to see if it was actually him that did it, was surprsied to see Wes was the artist.
