R.I.P. H.R. Giger
Feb. 5, 1940 – May 12th, 2014

Published

Yesterday, one of the most influential artists for our dark and underground communities died. H.R. Giger, designer of the world’s most famous Alien and pioneer of dark and twisted art died at age 74 from injuries suffered from a fall. He will be missed and mourned here at CVLT Nation. Check out this feature we did on his artwork a couple of years ago, by far our most visited post ever. 

“My paintings seem to make the strongest impression on people who are, well, who are crazy … if they like my work they are creative … or they are crazy.” – H.R. Giger (Feb. 5, 1940 – May 12th, 2014)

Meghan MacRae grew up in Vancouver, Canada, but spent many years living in the remote woods. Living in the shadow of grizzly bears, cougars and the other predators of the wilderness taught her about the dark side of nature, and taught her to accept her place in nature's order as their prey. She is co-founder of CVLT Nation.

LA hardcore “S.O.H,” formed by members of Artificial Joy who are known for their split with SKITKLASS, have released their 1st album. BREAK THE RECORDS https://breaktherecords.bandcamp.com/ For some people, the songs already released are enough to feel a jolt of excitement. Their sound built on a variety of riffs, rhythms, and the impact of Kristine’s ever-changing vocals, make them a force not entirely defined by D-BEAT or FAST/POWER VIOLENCE. Their appetite to devour a variety of approaches to hardcore puts them at the pinnacle of the genre’s continuing evolution. Come check them out on tour in Japan during October 2024 and keep on eye on what will happen in the future. 1.Delirium 2.Walang Paglaya 3.All Heart 4.Cost To Live 5.Radiation 6.Prize Pig 7.Annihilate 8.Restless 9.Dead Anyway 10.Generation
SOH: DELIRIUM
