I first had the pleasure of working with Marcelo Vasco on "Bloodstone & Diamonds" album. Not only did he deliver in an extremely timely manner under an immense amount of pressure, he delivered some of the most disturbing, interesting and just flat-out fuckin' cool artwork Machine Head have had in some time.

We had a number of submitted ideas for the cover artwork and we felt Marcelo's was the best. We made some suggestions and the result is an awesome album cover.

Marcelo Vasco has been my personal artist for a couple of years now. I love his work. He brought a lot of new ideas and concepts to Soulfly. He is also the fastest artist I have ever worked with! I’m proud that he’s brazilian like me. He’s making a name for himself outside of Brazil.
