Slipknot's No.3 releases art collection!!!

Chris Fehn is known to millions of Metal fans Worldwide as No.3 in the band Slipknot and percussion drummer. Grammy award winning multi platinum Iowa based Metal band Slipknot have spent much of his career behind the many infamous masks he and his teammates are known for donning during their captivating live shows. Now, Fehn comes together with Los Angeles creativity house SceneFour to offer fans a glimpse of the man behind the mask with 'Through the Darkness' a limited edition collection of unique visual fine art pieces that render his drumstrokes in living color.

Slipknot turned a cult following into an international smash with the 1995 release of their eponymous Roadrunner debut, which swiftly went multi platinum and they gathered a massive following of Maggots (what fans are called by Slipknot) all round the World. With his tall frame, signature long nose masks and onstage usage of anything from drums to trash can lids, Fehn is a vital component in Slipknot as well as his other band Will Haven which he joined back in 2010.

Working with Los Angeles art team SceneFour, Chris Fehn has been crafting the collection for more than a year and you can see that all the art is really well crafted and stunning to look at. SceneFour is arguably best known for their dedication to artwork built from rhythm, with collections of the “rhythm-on-canvas” medium created and released with iconic drummers including Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead), Bill Ward (Black Sabbath), Rick Allen (Def Leppard) and Matt Sorum (Guns 'n' Roses / Velvet Revolver / The Cult).

With Fehn’s release, the collection takes a unique turn, as the rhythmic artwork has been fused with found imagery that is intended to reveal itself with each viewing over time. I think their is a lot of merit to Chris' work and I think it stands up really well against other works of art have a look at the pictures and work out what you think. Here at Music Trespass Magazine we really love it and would buy one of the prints for our wall, we already have print No.1 of Paul Gray by Paul Harries, entitled 'Paul's Eyes' and we absolutely love it. So I think one of these would look great next to it.

“We’re excited to be working with Chris on this collection and are excited to see artwork coming forward that requires time to decode. It is sophisticated, vivid and perplexing,” - SceneFour

SceneFour’s creative director Cory Danziger states. Fehn’s collection, contains a total of thirteen different works, each limited in edition size, with all canvases in the collection numbered and individually signed by Chris Fehn.
