I got this press release yesterday afternoon from Terminal press. I guess Nuclear Blast has teamed up with Terminal  Press to make a line of Band/lyric based comic book stories. The first is Dimmu Borgir. Here’s the poress release.

Terminal Press and Nuclear Blast Records have teamed up for one of the most brutal comics of the year with “Dimmu Borgir: Dark Fortress.” This is the first in a series of books influenced by the lyrical, artistic and musical concepts from Nuclear Blast’s polarizing roster of bands translated into the comic medium by the creative teams at Terminal Press.
