Dear Friends,
In honor of my birthday this month, I am pleased to announce the release of 3 Limited Edition Collection prints by one of the world's top rock UK photographers Mr Paul Harries.
Now available to order at:
This collection covers my career in rock from my early days in Manhole, through Tura Satana to present day in My Ruin. Each image is printed on heavyweight gallery quality paper measuring 20"X24" (50cmX60cm approx) and comes personally signed by me and signed, numbered and embossed by Paul Harries. Price includes postage to any destination worldwide and is securely posted in a cardboard tube. You can purchase the prints individually or the full collection for a reduced price. The prints will be available to order online until January 21st and will not be sold again so whether it's a present for yourself or a friend don't miss out on this special Limited Edition Collection offer.
I was flattered when Paul approached me recently with the idea of doing this collection. We have known each other since 1996 when he first shot me backstage at the Splash Club in London for Kerrang Magazine. Over the years we became good friends and worked together on many memorable sessions for K! as well as various album cover and promo shoots for my bands. Paul was the first photographer to capture the real me behind his lens and as American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once said "The eyes are the antiquity of the soul". With this in mind, we chose these 3 iconic images from his vast vault of photographs because they best represent my personal journey and trilogy of rock & roll.

MY RUIN - "A Southern ℜevelation" - KKKKK
Husband and wife sludge metallers turn in their most personal work yet.
Necessity might be Plato's mother of invention but adversity appears to be the progenitor of darkly vehement passion. Anyone familiar with My Ruin formidable frontwoman Tairrie B will know she's always been able to whip up a shitstorm of anger with her acerbic pen and ground glass vocal performance alike. In the past this has been trained on concepts such as misanthropy and religion but here she takes a more personal tack.
The inspiration might be relatively prosaic (lets face it My Ruin aren't the first band to consider themselves to have been stiffed by former recorded company) but songs like Middle Finger and The Soulless Beast are transformed into tales of personal betrayal and imbued with a near biblical sense of wrath.
Musically, they're at their most focused and compact, eschewing the trackless swampland they've been know to traverse in favour of driving slabs of momentum and some of the sharpest, most serrated hooks they've ever set down. This all makes for one of the most vital and impassioned albums released all year and with the band still unsigned, they're making it available for free from their website. Only a fool would miss out
