New Look of Industrial Rock

Los Angeles, California,
– December 12, 2007 –
Charlie Grosso’s recent album cover photography for “Affected” has been receiving great reviews by the European Press.  “Affected” is a new project by former Prick, Kidneythieves, and Zeromancer guitarist, Chris Schleyer. Drummers Garret Hammond (Prick, Kill Hannah), and Andrew Kubiszewski (Prick, Stabbing Westward) also contributed to the new album.

“I really enjoyed working with Chris on this new project of his. It’s always an amazing experience when you get to collaborate with artists who share the same frames of reference and tastes as you. It establishes a short hand in which you can communicate easily and quickly in.” – Charlie Grosso

Creating Cinematic Photos for “Greed, Lust and Cloning,” the Film that Never Was

  • February 28th, 2011

Earlier this spring, Charlie Grosso shot the album cover and related art for “Greed, Lust and Cloning”, the musical score for a non-existent movie. The resulting album has garnered critical acclaim, both for the orchestral-electronic music as well as for its artwork.

Although “Greed, Lust and Cloning” is the soundtrack for a movie that never was “…you wouldn’t know that from looking at the CD artwork. The front cover appears to have been taken from the film’s poster, the back cover art seems to be a frame from the film itself. That’s part of what’s so cool about this release.”
– R. Scott Bolton, Rough Edge

Charlie worked closely with composer Don Bodin in concepting the art. “She was very involved and instrumental in helping me to convey what the album is about visualy.” Don states, “I attribute the success of the album in no small part to the visual impact of the photography.”

You can see more photos taken for the promotion of the album, as well as hear samples of the music at Greed, Lust and Cloning.com.
