Behind The Artworks: Arkham - Marginado (2025)

The cover artwork of ARKHAM’s Marginado EP is closely tied to the trilogy’s narrative and serves as a visual conclusion to the story. It represents the closure of a cycle that began with Ansiedad, where inner struggles not only affect the individual who suffers them but also indirectly those around them. Along this path, the figure of El Caído embodies the confrontation with one’s deepest fears.

In Marginado, the artwork introduces a new element: the labyrinth. Here, anxiety is shown trapped within the tree of El Caído, torn open by multiple hands reaching from the outside. This imagery conveys both the exposure of the illness and the desperate search for healing, while at the same time suggesting the impossibility of fully escaping from its enigma.

Visually, the cover ties together the previous two singles, highlighting the exhaustion of the person battling the illness. This is reflected in the harsher vocal delivery and the wall of backing voices that reinforce the intensity of the struggle. Lyrically, the song turns inward, delivering a message of self-reflection: to trust oneself, to resist external pressures, and to hold firm to one’s morals and principles even when circumstances worsen.
