Behind The Artworks: Icestorm - The Northern Crusades (2023)
The album artwork was done by Piotr Arendzikowski, a Polish illustrator specializing in
historical war scenes. We didn't think he could agree to want to do the illustration for us but
surprisingly he agreed. He made quite a few sketches based on the ideas that we were
proposing, maybe one day we will publish them, and finally he understood our idea, which was
none other than to make the illustration be seen in its entirety once the physical disc was
opened. It is a battle scene in which the Teutonic cavalry is charging against the Novgorod
army, the ice partly breaks under their feet and apparently it may seem that this cavalry is
about to overwhelm, which perhaps was not entirely the case. I recommend that you visit
Piotr's Artstation as this illustrator has a spectacular talent and his illustrations could be in the
Louvre without any problem.
