Interview: Christophe Szpajdel Day 1

Christophe Szpajdel

“Within the world of extreme music, few names carry the same weight in visual identity as Christophe Szpajdel. Better known as the Lord of the Logos, he is the mind and hand behind some of the most iconic and arcane logos in the history of black metal and related underground movements. From Emperor and Borknagar to Enthroned, Old Man’s Child, and countless others, Szpajdel’s work is as instantly recognizable as it is deliberately unreadable.”
