Hello, I'm Marcelo Vasco, a Brazilian visual artist deeply rooted in the metal music scene since the mid-1990s. Specializing in print media and visual identity for metal culture, I've created iconic album covers and designs for legendary artists such as Slayer, Machine Head, Kreator, Dee Snider, Soulfly, Dark Funeral, and many others. Currently, I lead the graphic departments at AISA Music and By Norse Music, working closely with renowned labels including Nuclear Blast and Century Media. My work has been recognized globally and featured in major publications, establishing me as one of the top graphic artists in the metal world. Beyond visual arts, I’m also a guitarist in The Troops of Doom, a band founded by Jairo Guedz (ex-Sepultura), and I stay active in several other musical projects. Outside the music industry, I’m a passionate wine lover and a boutique wine producer at Treamici Vinhos, based in the heart of Brazil’s wine country - Vale dos Vinhedos, Bento Gonçalves/RS - Brazil

I first had the pleasure of working with Marcelo Vasco on "Bloodstone & Diamonds" album. Not only did he deliver in an extremely timely manner under an immense amount of pressure, he delivered some of the most disturbing, interesting and just flat-out fuckin' cool artwork Machine Head have had in some time.

We had a number of submitted ideas for the cover artwork and we felt Marcelo's was the best. We made some suggestions and the result is an awesome album cover.

Marcelo Vasco has been my personal artist for a couple of years now. I love his work. He brought a lot of new ideas and concepts to Soulfly. He is also the fastest artist I have ever worked with! I’m proud that he’s brazilian like me. He’s making a name for himself outside of Brazil.

I had the pleasure of working with Marcelo for several years now, developing ideas for artwork with Dimmu Borgir, Chrome Division & Ov Hell and I highly recommend him, my number 1 choice... A true artist with passion for his work & dark art in any visual form. Professional, fast,

effective & a good friend.
