Ed Repka | Master of Heavy Metal and Horror Art

[@ll7868]

Death's Leprosy still iconic after all these years. I remember the first time I saw and thought "Wow, that makes pink look badass."

[@Kensei076]

It was about time someone gave Repka his flowers. Thanks!

[@ArtShutter]

You are welcome, it has been a pleasure

[@Ibaneddie76]

Ed Repka, Pusshead, and Derek Riggs are by far the masters of metal album covers!

[@caringfamily8132]

Metal is a tough, bold colorful peacock strutting its stuff. Few artists have the confidence, no, the ability, to handle it. Thank God, Ed stepped up - BIG TIME! Up the irons. \m/

[@ajhproductions2347]

Ed Repka and Dan Seagrave are legends

[@bloodeagle6458]

Necros prefix before death amazing cover

[@shannonandsheila1403]

His art is what made me even consider art

[@mak_attakks]

His art definitely jumps out at you. Reminds me of the work of Goosebumps artist Tim Jacobus who's also from New Jersey!

[@gordonburchell4337]

Wow!!!! it instantly hit me I have seen this guys style and art on covers for a long time

[@LindaSmith-td7mx]

Wow he also did holy diver as well so cool so many awesome covers very talented thanks ed

[@mattias969]

Megadeath is the first metal band i heard and it was my first favorite band i discovered them when i was 9 years old and since then ive been a hardcore metalhead.

[@Brando-Lee3725]

WOW! I did not know Repka was that old ! I was born in 78 and I'm 46 , so if he was born in 60 ?? Regardless his art is amazing and suited metal so well .

[@danielteran8067]

Great episode! please do another one with Pushead! His killer art for Metallica, Misfits and other bands is amazing!

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you very much for the recommendation, I will keep it in mind for the future

[@stephenlanoue5041]

Yeah, Pushead rules. Also, his band he did vocals for ;Septic Death, fucking rules. Better than half the bands he did artwork for. Also, Florian Bertmer has a style similar to Pushead and also has done some fantastic album covers. And Vince Locke. The covers for cannibal corpse and has a comic called dead world which I think is still published.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Those covers for the album 'peace sells' is mind blowing, brain numbingly badass 😂❤☠️

[@pierranoid]

fucking taught me how to paint mofos! death in the 90s was all we knew and understood!

[@dexocube]

Scream Bloody Gore is one of my favourite album covers of all time, plus this guy has done the covers of some of my favourite bands. Hey I just wanted to say, I preferred it when you narrated the videos yourself, I related to it more.

[@thedman-zx1ip]

Kinda love that the video is about Repka's contributions to metal when the thumbnail is from the cover of The Pre-Fix for Death by Necro, a rap album. But hey, Necro kicks ass, so I'm not complaining lol

[@cookwithbacon]

I’m so glad someone else caught that Necro reference too. I actually have that image as a pin. I love metal but Necro rules too . 👌🏾💯🔥💀💉

[@ajhproductions2347]

@@cookwithbaconwhat about MR HYDE???

[@andresvizgarra6092]

Buen informe Art, al fin se quien es el responsable de las portadas de los álbumes de Megadeth

[@ArtShutter]

Me alegro, muchas gracias por el comentario

[@lustrojinn]

Good to have you back hommie. Been a while.

[@ArtShutter]

Best regards

[@skitzofrenia_]

Please do Pushead next!

[@ArtShutter]

I will do it soon, thank you very much for your comment

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

As it turns out, there is some gray areas as to whether Mustang actually created Vic rattlehead or whether it was largely birthed by a friend named Sean Smithson

[@briansays2286]

Misfits are the best⚡

[@mclovin6829]

You don't have to like Metal to be Metal.

[@stevelowry794]

Love his work, I think we see a Basil Gogos influence in a lot of his images.

[@MorbidThrasher666]

LEGEND!🤟🤟

[@MairaPedroniArt]

Master 🤘

[@HankScorpio1982]

So, no information about Ed Repka's career before becoming a metal cover artist? Half of the video is about Megadeth, also Ed Repka never did a Dark Angel cover. Also watch in 2x speed so you don't fall asleep during the light, gap-filled 4min script that was stretched into 9mins to hit the monetization mark.

[@lustrojinn]

Who is this guy? Obviously haven't been around that long squirt. Love ART Shutter content yo, Recognise.

[@reginaldforthright805]

Its AI garbage

[@lustrojinn]

@@reginaldforthright805 This guy's the maddest troll out.

[@yeahgoood]

Man, you need to find some real things in life to worry about.

[@organicketchup5171]

A bit mean, Hank. I always watch videos sped up, anyway. My dumb ass didn't know about Repka, so I enjoyed the video.

[@a.t.j2887]

Would love to see a video about Tatsuyuki Tanaka. No one ever talks about this guy. I believe he was one of many artists/animators who worked on Akira

[@ArtShutter]

I would love to do it, I have it on my list, I just have had a hard time finding good information to put together a whole video

[@bftvclips8925]

That terrorizer cover was on a Necro album I'm sure

[@organicketchup5171]

Hahaha I want a King Diamond action figure 😆 Imagine that.

[@claykline2830]

you should do one on Mike Mignola, great video as always

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you very much for the comment and suggestion

[@iaz8737]

Hell yeah

[@ZvilgantisKailis]

Oh... the music Heavy Metal. I though about the graphic novel magazine Heavy Metal (Metal Hurlant)

[@ArtShutter]

Sorry for the confusion 😉

[@josephshriner2850]

Great video! Bernie Wrightson would also be a great horror artist to cover.

[@ArtShutter]

Thank you very much

[@maxell330]

In some cases the album art was better than the music recording.

[@franklinEditor]

Could you review the art of Lourenço Mutarelli?

[@ArtShutter]

I will take it into account, thank you very much for the suggestion

[@GNARGNARHEAD]

[@therealtroy8275]

Guga, is that you?

[@HornsfromtheDeep]

Dude your style of vocing/narration is bad. speak normally. ive had to mute the video and use subtitles. Repka is the master.

[@supersixx1]

cos misfits rules !!

[@putridabomination]

Man this video is trash. Could've been sped up to a non-boring pace and uh idk actually be informative about his life/career beyond "did artwork for these bands".

[@nishidohellhillsruler6731]

Well, it's official: Ghost is metal 🤷
