Behind The Artworks: Thomas Carlsen's Transmission - Redemption (2021)

After I had finished writing for the EP, and I knew what sort of concepts and moods were in the music, I approached German freelance artist Nele Diel about doing an artwork for it. She sent me her portfolio, and this one stood out to me. It was mystical, with these hooded figures in the mist, transmitting or receiving a transmission from above. I thought; perfect! It's the perfect fit. When I added the logo to the artwork, which was done by American illustrator Brian Thuringer, I felt like it really did my music justice. A worthy heavy metal album cover. And it seems people are liking it so far...!
