One enormous black sky, one enormous pit of cancelled language, one enormous voice rasping out one final, incomprehensible sentence. And it was mid-day. It was very dark. There were no stars. I think the buildings were burning.

Sean Bonney, "We are the Dead"
from Our Death



The Unholy Alphabet is a total negation of the linguistic sign. Born from a pit of cancelled language, the letters of the Roman alphabet have been torn apart, ripped to shreds to form something that is more image than sign. Taking inspiration from the illegible semantics of Black Metal—the unreadable logos and incomprehensible vocal utterances—the Unholy Alphabet is a language outside of sense. It is something from the depths that conveys more feeling than meaning. 

Made in collaboration with designer Ben King, with support from Nordic Culture Point.
