On September 29th we celebrated 15 years of doom at the Murf/Murw festival with the ‘1 SONG  2 CHORDS  3 HOURS’ set. We played a 3 hour set based on our song ‘March 28 1941, drowning.’

For the artwork we asked German artist and mutual friend Nebil ( A Rhesus Positiv ) if he could capture our musical experiment in a painting. Here is what he has to say about to process of making these pieces of art:
“As I progressed as a painter in recent years, an unexpected element that is normally not associated with working in solitude turned out to be of my increasing interest in collaboration. The opportunity occurred to pledge fealty to two of my favorite Dutch bands.
During the months of production, working on several studies and paintings, I was heavily influenced by the visual and narrative quality of Dreyer, Murnau and Maya Deren’s work. „The Passion of Joan of Arc“, „Vampyr“ and „Meshes of the Afternoon“ were and still are artistic strongholds, especially in regard to the live visuals we produced for the collaborative performance at Roadburn 2022.
Culled from this overload of information, a visualisation of forms that exist somewhere in between the abstract and the figurative evolved. At the time this seemed as an appropriate characterization of the band’s collaboration output. A combination of figurative painting, trivial and stylized branch structures are the visual language I ended up with. In regards to this rather eclectic and intuitive approach –idiotic ideas sometimes do work, if we take them seriously.”
“There is no I in team but there is no you in dictatorship.”
Alan Moore
