For the angels I used The Ruling Princes of The Nine Celestial Orders because it's the only hierarchy that names angels in all the orders and it uses the most commonly accepted hierarchy. It also says Metatron is just another Seraphim, while in most other texts he is called "king of angels", "voice of God" or is said to be the only angel sitting by God's side. So he got a special place on the poster. I also added Ridwan and Dominion because they are lesser known but interesting.

For the demons I used the Lesser Key of Zolomon and Dictionnaire Infernal which use most of the same demons, except Dictionnaire Infernal doesn't really put them in a hierarchy. Adramelech for example only appears in Dictionnaire Infernal, but I wanted to add him because the concept of Lucifer having a close friend is interesting.
Lilith appears in neither, but she has since become part of the lore and is said to be a princess of hell and the wife of both Asmodeus and Samael.

Information on the Tiered Heavens and the Hierarchy of Angels is on a strict need-to-know basis. Please report to the City Council for re-education.

I'm probably not the first to say this, but...I'm amused that "Metatron" is the name of an angel. He sounds like he should be leading a bunch of evil robots to conquer the Earth for its energy or something.

All religions have cult beliefs that spring from it. The Abrahmic religions are no different. So not surprised to see something like this.

As Wikipedia put it concerning Gustav's work: "This was a popularised compendium of angelology from Talmud, kabbalah, medieval occult writers, gothic grimoires and other sources."

Just surprised to see the sheer number of named angels and demons. It's a lot.

You forgot the angels Lo and Suddenly.
"And Lo, the Angel of the Lord, appeared before them . . ."
"And Suddenly, the Angel of the Lord, was before him . . ."

I should mention, Lucifer is still technically an archangel. Important point that, since even though definitely shouldn't be in the line-up (what with the whole "chucked out of Heaven" dealie) there should be like... I dunno, a note?
