<em>From the most subterranean of underground cartoonists to full-blown daemonic visionary, here we see Savage Pencil’s horrid Lovecraftian metamorphosis in all its sublime and terrifying glory; all its ugly ecstasies. Hilarious, psychedelic, beautiful, deformed – give your nervous system a bracing dip into this lysergic acid-bath of a collection from the last Beatnik artist standing. Unmissable.
</em><strong>Alan Moore</strong>

<em>We are deeply fortunate that Edwin Pouncey is the worlds’ #1 Sunn O))) fan and also our meta spiritual advisor of the aesthetic directions. Formally he graced us via tambura during our Peel session in 2003. We have had the pleasure to work with his visual evocations on several occasions, sometimes linearising the conceptual path of our music (</em>Candlewolff<em> 2004, </em>WhiteRat<em> 2019), and others manifesting the viscerally of alive organic energy of our music. On the sidereal our sharing of the glory of Abruptum has lead to several collaborations for radio as Crucified Mouse duo, and deep discussions with Spare, It, Dead, Szukaski, and the possibility of unleashing the albino radioactive rats unto the masses. </em>

<em>Hail Savage Pencil, may your eternal mutations bring light to this dark and twisted human world for eternity. </em><strong>Stephen O’Malley, Sunn O)))</strong>

Underground cartoonist, artist, writer, musician, and amateur magician Savage Pencil has been conjuring up images and making a noise since 1977.

From his ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Zoo’ strip for 1970s music paper <em>Sounds</em> to his ‘Trip or Squeek’ and ‘Primers’ work for <em>The Wire</em> magazine and beyond, his instantly recognizable, delirious and demented images have come to define their own form of acerbic graphic critique and satire. As well as producing comix he has also designed album covers, T-shirts, posters and other merchandise for such groups as Sonic Youth, Big Black, The Fall, Sunn O))), Coil, Current 93 and Earth – together with images for a host of obscure punk rockers and metal gurus. As a result, his drawings have become intrinsically linked with the sonic ideas that were being transmitted on such records as Sonic Youth and Lydia Lunch’s ‘Death Valley ‘69’, Big Black’s <em>Headache</em> EP and The Fall’s ‘Lie Dream Of A Casino Soul’ 45.

Gathered together from his archive of artwork, personal photographs, documents, and ephemera – including an exclusive revealing interview by author and legendary esoteric bibliographer Timothy d’Arch Smith – <em>Rated SavX</em> is an access-all-areas trawl through the life, art and uncontrollable imagination of Savage Pencil.
