Bestselling illustrator and Life of Agony bassist Alan Robert will publish The Beauty of Horror 7: Backwards Records on February 11 via IDW.
The new installment in the adult coloring book series features over 80 pages of horror-infused parodies of iconic album art from the likes of KISS, Bruce Springsteen, Alice In Chains, N.W.A., Cyndi Lauper, Blink-182, Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Katy Perry, and more.
Drawing inspiration from the eerie mythos of backmasking on vinyl albums, Backwards Records blends the playful and the macabre. It’s a chance to unwind, get creative, and revisit the moments that defined music history — with a devilish twist.
“The Beauty of Horror 7 combines my three favorite things: art, music, and horror movies,” explains Robert. “Fans have been asking me to put my spin on album covers for years, and there’s never been a coloring book quite like this one. It’s equally twisted and hilarious.”
In addition to the chart-topping Beauty of Horror books, Roberts has designed for bands like as Black Sabbath, Pantera, and Type O Negative, illustrated books for such properties as Beetlejuice and Universal Monsters, and crafted his own horror graphic novels.
