Snakes Vol.7: Heavy Music Artwork Magazine

Snakes returns with Issue 7, a fully redesigned volume that delves deeper than ever into the art, culture and extremity of heavy music. This new instalment features over 30 exclusive interviews with metal legends, underground cult icons and some of the genre’s most gruesome and uncompromising bands. Inside, readers will find in-depth conversations with artists such as Sabaton, Equilibrium, Helloween, Testament, Igorrr, Revocation, Nine Treasures, Blood Red Throne, Beyond The Black, and many more — each offering rare insight into their creative worlds, visual identity and artistic philosophy.Expanding on the legacy of previous issues, Snakes #7 blends sharp editorial work with bold artwork, experimental design and a curated exploration of heavy-music aesthetics. From traditional metal through to avant-garde, folk, symphonic and brutally underground acts, this issue maps the breadth of today’s metal landscape while celebrating the designers, illustrators and visual thinkers shaping its imagery.Printed in a limited edition, Snakes #7 comes in A4 format with a newly overhauled layout and a striking new cover design created exclusively for this issue. With approximately 146 pages of interviews, features, photography and art, it stands as both a collectable object and an essential document of contemporary metal culture.SNAKES v7.: Sabaton, Carpenter Brut, Igorrr, n0trixx, UUHAI, Helloween, Testament, Beyond The Black, Smote, Bloodbound, Revocation, Zu, Ingested, Feral State, Dead Heat, Serpico, Equilibrium, Nine Treasures, Ambush, Ültra Raptör, Gluecifer, Rún, Flesia, Dysentery, Blood Red Throne, Sodom.Aesthetics of Sickness: Putrevore, Piece, Cytolysis, Devastrosity, Foul Body Autopsy, TombWorm, Lust of Decay, Archaic Thorn, Darklon, Fessus, House by the Cemetary, Sepulchral, Heteropsy.Artists: Alexey Sivitsky, Damian Scaglia, Miłosz Kawaler, Peter Diamond, Yury Skorohod.Collections: Masterpieces, Monochromes, Aesthetics of SicknessCover art: Sabaton, Legends (Better Noise Music, 2025) by Péter Sallai Read more
