Behind The Artworks: In Virtue - Age Of Legends (2025)

When I saw the cover for Dark Tranquillity’s “Character” album, I knew I had to have something like it. So I looked up the artist, who turned out to be their (now former) guitarist Niklas Sundin. I commissioned him to create the cover art, which depicts Sisyphus breaking out of his eternal punishment of rolling a boulder up a mountain forever. He is returning to the real world, and the boulder rolls down the hill behind him. Niklas was excellent to work with, and he took the concept I gave him and really brought it into reality with such a unique flavor.
