Dan Seagrave

Dan Seagrave is a seminal figure in the world of heavy metal art. Born in Worksop, UK, and raised near Nottingham, Seagrave's highly detailed work gained early recognition when he created album covers for local bands. As a self-taught painter, he rose to prominence in the early 1990s during the burgeoning death metal scene, attracting attention from key industry players like Roadrunner Records in New York.

For fans of heavy metal, Seagrave's artwork is iconic. His signature style graces seminal albums such as Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness, Entombed's Left Hand Path and Suffocation's Effigy of the Forgotten. His impact has been so profound that while many have tried to emulate his style, none have been able to replicate the unique netherworlds and phantasmagoric scenes he crafts.
