Behind The Artworks: Sadistic Embodiment - Blood Spell (2020)

Watching our new lyric video for the single Catherine’s Braid, listeners and readers will quickly catch on to the activities being illustrated by our artist Demonika. The cover art depicts a freshly suspended individual broken and braided on the wheel, which was a torture/execution technique used in the middle ages in northern and western Europe. It’s quite simple and insidiously ingenious.

Look closely and you may count a specific number of fractures on the condemned individual. The lyrics in the song Catherine’s Braid explain the procedure of breaking on the wheel as well as the album’s title through the perspective of the damned.
