Here's a fun illustration for the new issue of Revolver Magazine (USA). It's for the 'Tales From the Pit' section, in which musicians share interesting stories from the road.

This one is from Soilwork’s Björn “Speed” Strid, and you'll have to pick up the December 2015 issue to read it! Many thanks to Natalie at Revolver for the great commission.

In case you're not up with metal, here are Bjorn and Ola Fink from Soilwork...
