Christophe Moyen - French artist based in Aquitania (South West France), spreading visual hellstorm since the years of brutal Death and bestial Black Metal underground, I've created CD, LP and T-shirt artworks for bands like: Blasphemy, Beherit, Incantation, Archgoat, Goatlord (USA), Black Witchery, Necromantia, Zemial, Absu, Sathanas, Blood, Demoncy, Mortician, Imprecation, Purtenance, Masacre (Col), Vital Remains, Centinex, Corpsefucking Art, Abominator, Dismember, Nominon, Sinister, Coffins, Funebrarum, Bestial Mockery, Slayer, Trivium, Battleaxe, Satan's Host, Desaster, Sigh, Ravencult, Sabbat (Jpn), Lonewolf, Crystal Viper, Nomed ...

      After I had done some illustrations for Ludo Evil's european Sarcófago & Blasphemy fan-club in 1989,    ----- I received  mails from bands & labels interested to get my drawings on their demo, tee-shirt, 7"or album covers; Incantation, Demoncy, Blood, Naked Whipper, Beherit, Amorphis, Goatlord, Mortician, Derkéta, Purtenance, Convulse, Mortuary (Mex), Sathanas, Abominog, ...  In early 1990, ThornCross Design was born, that’s when things got really started ...

      Due to personal reasons and other things to do, I stopped my Metal art activities in 1998. After almost six years of silence, I decided to put a gallery of my early works online. Very quickly, some of my old Metal friends contacted me again to know if I was still available for new dark creations. In the end of 2003, ThornCross was officially back.
