Behind The Artworks: TWITCH OF THE DEATH NERVE - Beset by False Prophets (2021)
For “Beset by False Prophets” we decided that we would look for some existing
artwork that complimented the concept behind the release. We took the same
approach for our last album, and although it takes a lot of searching to find the right
piece, it removes the risk of commissioning something new which doesn’t end up
matching your expectations. We came across this artwork titled “To Be Born Again”
by an artist called Sandeep Karunakaran which perfectly fit the theme and vibe we
were looking for, and we were able to license it for the release. Sandeep has a really
dark style and some of his work is reminiscent of Polish painter Zdzisław Beksiński
who we’re big fans of. The scene of corrupted angels with mountains of writhing
emaciated figures straining to reach them was a great visual representation of the
concept behind the EP, which denounces the myriad false prophets and charlatans
pushing their falsehoods and hypocrisy to any audience gullible enough to swallow
them.
