Attica Rage are pleased to announce that the legendary rock artist who has designed our new logo and debut album '
RUIN NATION' cover art is none other than famed
Motorhead artist
JOE PETAGNO!
Joe Petagno created the iconic Motorhead '
Snaggletooth' logo and his most famous paintings are undoubtedly the ones that have graced almost every Motorhead album, single, video & dvd sleeve, t-shirt and other merchandise over the last 30 years. But his Motorhead creations are only a small part of his prolific painting career. Starting out with the renowned
Hipgnosis art design team founded by Storm Thorgerson & Aubrey Powell designing for
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Genesis and more, Joe has also designed album art for
Hawkwind, Marduk, Nightshade, Illdisposed, Bal-Sagoth, Krisiun, The Graeme Edge Band (ex-Moody Blues) and
The Baker Gurvitz Band (feat. Ginger Baker of Cream). Joe is also known for his science fiction book covers, notably for the Corgi SF Collector's Library edition of
Ray Bradbury's
'The Silver Locusts' aka '
The Martian Chronicles'. And now
