Eliran Kantor Paints Modern Metal’s Most Iconic Covers, Blending Classical Brushwork With Nightmarish Symbolism
Eliran Kantor is a Berlin‑based Israeli artist and illustrator best known for highly detailed, painterly album covers for metal bands such as Testament, Helloween, Gojira, My Dying Bride, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hatebreed and Thy Art Is Murder.
Working in a rich, classical‑meets‑dark‑fantasy style that preserves visible brushstrokes even in digital pieces, he builds symbolic, narrative‑heavy scenes around each band’s themes, then releases limited edition, signed fine‑art prints and premium giclée editions of landmark covers like “Dear Desolation,” “Convalescence,” “Amputheatre” and “Unholy Deification” through elirankantor.com with worldwide shipping. His Instagram mixes new artworks, process insights, exhibition and festival appearances (Wacken, Bloodstock, solo shows) and reflections on career‑building, including advice on originality, concept development and channeling anxiety and obsession into intense attention to detail.
