Obtaining the original art for our upcoming album has been a success. As a black metal band we were aiming for a specific look. The thematic elements of the album include our re-invention of: old New England occultism, and forest mysticism involving creatures real and imagined. One of the songs includes the description of moose-like god apparition with bloody antlers.
I asked my favorite artist @skinnes to get dark and make some epic art. She seemed to read our minds and her first draft was exactly what we were looking for. After finalizing it, I took our sigil-logo, applied it to the art and BOOM...we have an album cover (and tshirt art as well). Here it is:

A big thank you to @skinnes for this badass work of art.
