Dear Friends

We’re proud to release The Book of Industrial & Noise Flyers, published under our new sub-brand Heavy Music Archives.

https://heavymusicartwork.com/products/the-book-of-industrial-noise-flyers

Heavy Music Archives is dedicated to preserving underground visual culture — original ephemera and documentation that was never meant to last. This book is a raw archive of Industrial and Noise flyers, capturing how scenes communicated urgency, resistance, and identity through DIY design.

Before algorithms. Before social media.
This is how the message spread.

Alongside the visual archive, the book includes exclusive interviews with key artists and acts including Skinny Puppy, Ministry, KMFDM, Test Dept, Legendary Pink Dots, Front Line Assembly, Die Krupps, Killing Joke, and more.

This is not nostalgia — it’s preservation.

Designed as a collector-grade physical object, The Book of Industrial & Noise Flyers is for musicians, designers, archivists, and anyone drawn to the darker edges of visual culture.

Thank you for supporting independent publishing — and the launch of Heavy Music Archives.

Dear friends,

We’re in the final week of the Kickstarter for Spreading the Diseases: The Art of Health & Disease Posters — and this is the last chance to secure the book.

This campaign is deliberately simple:�one pledge, one book.�No tiers, no add-ons, no distractions.

This publication is also important for another reason:�it is the first book released under our new imprint, Caligula Press.

Caligula Press is dedicated to darker, more confrontational subject matter — where art, history, politics, medicine, and society collide. Spreading the Diseases sets the tone: a carefully curated visual archive of historical health and disease posters, tracing how fear, prevention, education, and public messaging were communicated through graphic design across decades.

These images are raw, direct, and often unsettling — exactly as they were meant to be.

If you’ve followed Heavy Music Artwork for any time, you already know what this represents:�
• independent publishing�
• archival material that rarely gets preserved
• a physical book designed to last

Kickstarter is the only way this book gets made. Once the campaign ends, there will be no late pledges and no guarantees.

If this project speaks to you, now is the moment to support it.

👉 Back the book here (final 7 days):�https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/heavy-music-artwork/spreading-the-diseases-the-art-of-health-and-disease-posters

Thank you for supporting independent publishing — and for helping launch Caligula Press with its first title.

For the underground. Not the mainstream.

OUT NOW - Everyone Dies, The Matt Zane Reckoning is the unapologetic, unfiltered story of Matt Zane, frontman of Society 1—a band that dragged shock rock into the 21st century, kicking, screaming, bleeding, and fully suspended by flesh hooks. It’s about obsession, rebellion, s*x, survival, and what happens when you refuse to play by anyone else’s rules.

If you’ve seen the Everyone Dies documentary, this is the book that goes deeper. It fills in the gaps, confirms the rumours, and tells the stories that didn’t make it to film—because they were too insane, too personal, or just too real.

Zane pulls no punches. From the p**n sets to the concert stage, from L*D trips in forests to defiling sacred symbols in public, this is a firsthand account of a life lived at full volume and with zero safety nets. Alongside original poetry, artwork, and private photos, Zane talks candidly about rejection, being blacklisted, battling isolation, and outlasting almost every peer who came up with him.

It’s not a typical rock memoir, and it’s not cleaned up for marketing. This is the story of a man who never fit in, never backed down, and still refuses to disappear.

About Matt Zane
Matt Zane is a director, performance artist, and frontman of Society 1. Known as the first frontman to sing live while suspended by flesh hooks, he’s also directed hundreds of adult films, published philosophical works, and performed some of the most extreme live shows in modern rock history. Now 50, he’s still creating, offending, and asking the one question that’s driven his entire career: how far is too far?
