Behind The Artworks: Columbarium - Rivers Of Blood (2022)

 

We were looking for an album cover and we found this painting by Vladimir Chebakov, he is an incredible digital artist and worked for the likes of Sodom and Hideous Divinity amongst others. We adore his work and the picture was approved by all the band members, so we bought the rights to that specific painting. The turning black hole that you can see on the cover and that also comes to life in the lyricvideo for ‘Rivers Of Blood’ symbolizes the downward spiral that perfectly matches the lyrics of that song about the addiction. We will definitely work with Chebakov again for our full album and we will keep the same design with mainly green, black and yellow colors, so the single really is a precursor in design to the full album. For now, I can’t tell much more about it.
