“Step Into The Light” shows us the will to survive and potential for hope. “Failure Will Follow” shows us death and the destruction of the natural order. Two diverging paths meant to represent humanity's potential to persevere and transcend or destroy itself.

The artwork concept for both of these covers came together through discussions Vincent and I had way back in the beginning of 2022. The general idea was to have two albums, one a metaphor for human potential and the other for human destruction. The deer is a symbol for the rotting planet, the birds symbolizing humanity and the maggots represent the earth fighting back (disease, global warming etc). We take from its degrading corpse and build in it’s festering guts while the next generation are slowly consumed by the maggots.
