These are previews of the Siege piece I am working on, the last of the "big four" in the series I am finishing up. Call me whatever you want, I say Siege was one of the greatest hardcore bands of all time, they were incredibly fast and their music still sounds fresh; they were decades ahead of the curve in 1984. Napalm Death site Siege as (one of) their biggest influences, hence the song "Siege of Power".
The drawing itself is modelled after Bosch's Seven Deadly Sins and Four Other Things. In my case, the sins have been replaced by Siege songs, and the four other things are seminal album covers. The top two are from bands which came before, and the bottom two, after Siege.
The two banners at the sides contain lyrics, the reapers above them are from Cleanse the Bacteria and a Japanese bootleg. The background will likely say "DROP DEAD" over and over, eventually turning into "DEAD" at the bottom, like the beginning and end of their only record.
