Ed Repka Interview — Click Here!

This Spring 08 season we got together with the undisputed king of Thrash Metal art… Ed Repka to create the Lobotomizer graphic.

Ed, who is best known worldwide for his iconic work during the 80s and 90s with Megadeth and Vic Rattlehead, their roguishly evil skeletal mascot. It was truly an honor working with Ed now a few times actually! He is not only one of my favorite artists but a huge influence on not just us at Mishka but metal music in general.

So we’re beyond thrilled to present to you an in-depth interview we got to conduct with the self professed “connoisseur of grotesque”! We hope it sheds some light on probably Thrash Metal’s most overlooked influence as well as what it’s like being a successful working artist for so long

Repka has painted brutal covers for many other members of metal’s finest such as Death, Nuclear Assault, Violence, Possessed, Defiance and more recently, Municipal Waste and 3 Inches of Blood. And we’re thrilled that Lobotimizer, our lament to teenage brainwashing by the Man is now part of his illustrious career!
