Episode 58: Pushead (Brian Schroeder)
Artwork
Pushead's style typically involves detailed skulls which are often gruesome and weathered. His work has most often been associated with the band Metallica, as seen in Metallica's "2 of One" (music video for "One"), on the album cover for St. Anger, numerous interior album illustrations, and various web graphics and T-shirt designs. Pushead has worked with a number of other musical acts including Dr. Octagon. In 1991, Pushead designed and illustrated a number of sticker inserts for a series of heavy metal and hard rock trading cards called RockCards, released by Brockum.[1]
He also designed skateboard graphics and advertisements for Zorlac Skateboards during the 80s and beginning of the 90s. Pushead was also an artist for the skateboard magazine Thrasher during the 80s and early 90s. His recent work includes a limited edition shoe released worldwide by Nike SB on December 17, 2005. Pushead designed the shoes, box, tissue paper, soles, and the tag on the shoes. He has also collaborated with Altamont Apparel, designing three T-shirts, in their Fall10 Collection.
Record labels
Pushead founded the record labels Pusmort Records and Bacteria Sour.

Septic Death was a hardcore punk band formed in Boise, Idaho by Pushead. The band played only a few shows during its active years (1981 to 1986), mostly in their hometown, though records continued to be released up to 2006. Pushead was the main singer, and designed the band's album covers.
