Daughters of Darkness is a collection of fine art portraits of
women in corpse paint. A nod to black metal and doom album cover
art, Daughters of Darkness was photographed over 10+ years, with
more than 400 models from all over the world, almost all of which
did their own corpse paint and are fans of black metal. Daughters
of Darkness features many celebrities, actresses, musicians, and
models (some under the cover of corpse painted anonymity) all of
whom donned only corpse paint for this book. Photographed by
internationally renowned music and fine art photographer Jeremy
Saffer, this project combines both his music photography and fine
art photography worlds into a single project, which was conceived
to capture the memory of flipping though albums in a music store
and buying albums based entirely on the albums cover art (which
often featured a nude portrait, someone in corpse paint, or both)
prior to knowing the music or the band. Like the music that
inspired it, Daughters of Darkness shows the duality of finding
beauty in dark imagery, and finding darkness within beauty.

Randy Blythe's poems wend their way through personal, historical,
regional, philosophical, aesthetic, familial, and spiritual
landscapes, and in doing so echo a larger search for how and where
liberation might be found, except that the deliverance Blythe's
poems conjure at is not what one might expect. Through grit and
laughter, the poems level a cold eye at discovering what the true
human part is, who we really are beyond the Walmart life we settle
for. The result is at times amusing, at times unsettling, often
querulous. A sense persists throughout that the good and bad, the
laughter and pain we share are inevitable and integral to some end,
but what end eludes us. These poems don't go for easy answers
because there are none. At the same time, in language and subject
matter, the poems themselves are readily accessible, their upshot
often a species of clear-eyed joy. Their call is meant for those
driven to explore, top to bottom, the heavens and dungeons of the
project we understand as being, where we are bound to find nothing
if not ourselves.
