Formed in the Summer of 2019, Kryptik Mutation are a group of close friends who share a love for the Extreme Metal, Horror movies, and video games. While the band take their music seriously, they try not to take themselves too seriously and embrace fun in the creation of their art. Every song has some reference or nod to a video game or horror movie, whether a favorite or a unique story they create inspired from those favorites. Musically Kryptik Mutation are a modern savage... A modern production with old and new school aesthetic alike, combining 90's Death/ Thrash with hints of grindcore and slam. Self-admittedly hugely influenced by Suffocation, the band incorporate those Long Island blasts and groove with a Texas Death/Thrash attack!

Tim Baron is an artist, illustrator, and skateboarder who resides in Indiana.

He’s designed skateboards for companies like Tony Hawk, The Property Brothers, Birdhouse Skateboards, Plan B, Creature, H-Street, and Super 8 Skateboards.

Tim designed a board for Tony Hawk that was released in the Spring of 2021 and sold out. One year later, Tim was asked to design the official “Hawk Vs. Wolf” podcast board for Tony Hawk and Jason Ellis which also sold out.

Tim has designed several ReAction figures for SUPER7. His turn-around drawings and color ways were used to create such figures as They Live, Lost Boys, Anthrax, King Diamond, and Rancid. Tim also did the card art for the Phantom Star Killer “Red Baron Banshee” edition figure.

In late 2022, Super7 released action figures of Tim’s “Astro Zombie” character as part of their ReAction figure toyline.

The discovery of skateboarding and its accompanying subculture initiated the next phase of Tim‘s creative development. Within the pages of Thrasher magazine, Tim discovered the legendary Bones Brigade, the art of VC Johnson and Jim Phillips, the frantic scratchings of Pushead, and punk rock bands like the Misfits.

This is their visual story as told through the original ephemera that helped define their legacy. Scream With Me spotlights the band’s iconic and influential album and single art, fan club merchandise, original posters, show flyers, and one-of-a-kind, never-before-seen rarities, culled primarily from the extensive collection of archivist Umberto D’Urso. 

Additionally, the book prominently features insightful contributions on the band’s legacy from members of Metallica, Pearl Jam, Avenged Sevenfold, Dropkick Murphys, and more. For more than 40 years, the band has had an inescapable influence on popular culture and Scream With Me is the ultimate tribute to the original, beloved Misfits era.

Brian Flynn is the founder and owner of Hybrid-Design
and Super7 in our beloved and foggy San Francisco. Super7 was supposed to be Brian's pet side-project but it has become something much more than simply a hobby. Super7 began in 2001 as a magazine focused on his obsessive collecting of vintage Japanese toys. Now, all of these years later, Super7 has evolved into a thriving retail brand that is still an extension of Brian’s original passion. As the Super7 company manifesto says: “No one made what we wanted. So we made it ourselves.”
