Behind The Artworks: Blood Thirsty Demons - Esoteric (2022)

The artwork for “Esoteric” is taken from an 1886 book by Léo Taxil and is closely linked to the lyrics of "The Wickedness Of Man" and “The Believer”; it represents the devil, a recurring element throughout the entire release; there is also a priest who represents man's need to believe in something; these two things, as you can see in the cover, often conflict with each other and they are both part of a spiritual journey, but above all they are part of the autobiographical concept of this album that tells several fundamental passages in the esoteric life of Cristian Mustaine.
