THE BEAST

As posted by No Remorse records on social media:

"Legendary American fantasy artist Ken Kelly, has reportedly died at the age of 76, yesterday on June 3rd, 2022. Ken Kelly depicted fantasy hero Conan the Barbarian alongside other warriors, creatures, battlefields and images of sword and sorcery themes. He was also responsible for creating the artwork for Kiss' "Destroyer" and "Love Gun", Rainbow's "Rising", and several releases from Manowar including "Fighting the World", "Kings of Metal" and "The Triumph of Steel". Ken Kelly also did the cover art of Eternal Champion's latest album, "Ravening Iron". It was an honour for both No Remorse Records and Eternal Champion working with Mr. Kelly and we agreed that we will do it again in the future, even if he was very selective in his projects.  "I look forward to working with you again, this painting was a challenge but now one of my best", Mr. Kelly noted once the painting was completed. Unfortunately, that will never happen but his art and legacy will be immortal. Thank you, Sir."
