I'm sure a similar thread has popped up during the tenure of the old Dark Tranquillity forum, but I'll post this anyway. As we all know, Nikas Sundin is a great graphics designer and responsible for the design of Dark Tranquillity albums and their web site. I'm pretty sure he's also responsible for the ThereIn video (something about the style screamed Niklas). He's been involved in graphics design outside of the band, and at least the ...And Oceans album A.M.G.O.D is designed by him. I'm just wondering if anybody knows of other stuff he's worked on, and if graphics design is his "real job"? If you're reading this Niklas, I'd like to hear from you.
 
The site was nothing but a picture of Niklas and a message that he's having a summer vacation... Thanks anyway.
I'm still looking for answers though.
 
The ones I know of:

In Flames - The Tokyo showdown
Sentenced - Crimson
Gardenian - Soulburner
Gardenian - Sindustries
Arch enemy - Wages of sin

He also made the cover for number 11 of the german "Chaos magazine"
 
He has also done the cover of Green Carnation's "Journey to the end of the night" and of the first Autumnblaze album ( I can't recall the title) and also the logo of Paragon of Beauty if i am not mistaken
 
just add to that list....
the single of Eternal Tears Of Sorrow, the Last One For Life and their last cd Chaotic Beauty (and as it has been said the new cd A Virgin and a Whore)
The Alas (absolute purity), an Amethyst cd, last Armageddon, new Arch Enemy, the Finn release for Charon's Tearstained, another band called Morr whatever, something called Passenger, Silence from Enola, the promo of Sleeping X, something called Wolf and many many others, believe me, I tried once get everything he made but it's impossible for me to keep track on his artwork!!!

nope, it was a t-shirt for the song 'angelizer', that appeared on moonspell's 'the butterfly fx'. it wasn't as brilliant as arch-enemy 'wages of sin' booklet, though, which is probably niklas at his best (apart from the artwork he did for dt, which is outstanding).

he also painted the cover for charon's 'tearstained'. if you're into sentenced, check that album out (or 'worthless' and 'as we die' mp3s), 'cause it's worth it.
