Just about all of us here at Mondo are current (or former) video game addicts and one game that we all universally adore is 2016's DOOM reboot from id Software and Bethesda Softworks. The game is complete mayhem from start to finish and is a beautiful testament to the hours of fun to be had while slaughtering your way through demons of Hell on a colony of Mars. We're proud to have worked with Gabz on three gorgeous posters celebrating this brutal and brilliant gem of a game. The devil is in the details and Gabz totally killed this illustration dead. This is DOOM.
In addition to DOOM, we will also have a pair of awesome new posters for the film LORDS OF CHAOS by Matt Ryan Tobin! Deftly directed by Jonas Åkerlund, LORDS OF CHAOS tells a semi-fictionalized version of the grisly history surrounding the Norwegian black metal scene of the 1990s and the relationship of key figureheads Euronymous and Varg of the bands Mayhem and Burzum. Matt has done a great job creating an arresting illustration that encapsulates the brutal and controversial history surrounding the film and its subjects. Seek this one out if you haven't.
These posters will be available on Thursday (4/4) at a random time via mondotees.com.

"Being a huge fan of the first-person shooter genre, the original DOOM holds a special place in my heart. I’ve spent countless hours playing the game back when I was a teenager and enjoyed every secret and gore moment along the way. So when given the opportunity to work on a screenprinted poster for this groundbreaking shooter’s reboot I was both honored and thrilled. I depicted "Doom Slayer” covered in blood and standing in the sea of bright yellow lava (or blood depending on the version) over several massacred corpses with a chainsawed head in one hand and a combat shotgun in the other. Doomguy is looking straight at us as if we’re next in line. Aesthetically I was aiming for art you would expect on a heavy metal cover or a pinball machine. Composition and colors were inspired by the work of Frank Frazetta or Boris Vallejo among other greats I admire." - Gabz

"I've been a huge admirer of Jonas Åkerlund from the moment I saw his music video for Metallica's 'Turn The Page.' Years later, I'd learn his name (and never forget it) when he'd helm an incredibly nightmarish and tragically beautiful drug-induced short film for The Smashing Pumpkins' song 'Try, Try, Try' forever cementing him as one of my favorite directors.
"LORDS OF CHAOS was everything I wanted it to be and more. It weaves shockingly violent, funny and heartbreaking together flawlessly. This concept was eating at my brain from the moment I finished watching the film. Inspired by a scene in the film, on the surface it reads fairly straightforward: a crow perched on a cross amidst a burning stave church. But upon a closer look, something a little more evil comes into focus. Much love to Mondo for once again letting me run with a crazy idea for a crazy film." -Matt Ryan Tobin
