Life

In 1995 Kurtagić founded the band Benighted Leams, which has released four albums since then. He gives, among others, Possessed , Darkthrone , Voivod and Celtic Frost , but also composers like Arnold Schönberg , as an influence. The texts of this project are in sophisticated, old-fashioned English and deal mainly with esoteric topics. Kurtagić was also co-composer - together with Aphazel - of the piece At the Infernal Portal (Canto III) for the 1996 album The Cainian Chronicle by the band Ancient and co-author of the lyrics for the album Ark of Thought (1997) by the band Deinonychus . He also designed the cover for the second album ( Stormblåst ) by the group Dimmu Borgir .

In 1996 he founded the Supernal Music label, which has since released music by the groups Astrofaes and Drudkh from Ukraine , Fall of the Gray-Winged One from Belgium, Fleurety and Mayhem from Norway and The Meads of Asphodel from Great Britain.

In the 1990s Kurtagić designed the covers for albums by a number of black metal artists , including Dimmu Borgir, Mayhem, Tormentor, Deinonychus, Ancient and others. His artistic cover work is reviewed in the book Heavy Metal Thunder: Album Covers that Rocked the World . More recently, new editions of books by Madison Grant , Lothrop Stoddard, and Francis Parker Yockey have been published with cover art by Kurtagić.
