Behind The Artworks: All Life Ends - Miscreation (2023)

At first glance, the cover art is an unsettling tableau of an apocalyptic world, consumed by various nightmarish creatures writhing in a chaos of tentacles. These creatures, symbolic representations of fear and suffering, feast on the desolation of lost souls, creating a chilling portrait of earth in ruins. Yet amidst the stark devastation, there lies a beacon of hope, a core emitting a radiant light. This light pushes back the encroaching darkness and intriguingly, draws evil in, much like moths attracted to a flame.

In a fascinating paradox, the band uses this artwork to convey the stark contrasts that Death Metal encapsulates – the eerie, gloomy undertones and the insanity of the world, against the broadening of consciousness. This duality is emblematic of the lyrical themes that permeate their music – self-destruction, resistance against oppressive systems, and the journey toward liberation.

This time, All Life Ends collaborated with a dedicated artist for their album artwork, a departure from their previous practice of designing album covers themselves. Tata from Kumislizer Design was brought on board, thanks to his knack for translating abstract concepts into captivating visuals. Inspired by a similar artwork on his Facebook page, the band reached out to him to breathe life into their vision for the album cover.

The partnership was seamless and fruitful. Tata's professionalism and amicable demeanor made him a pleasure to work with. His keen understanding of the band's ethos led to the creation of a stunning piece of art that truly marries the music and themes of the album.

Despite its dark and sinister vibe, the artwork doesn't house any hidden symbols. It is a stark representation of the eternal battle between light and dark, life and death, a struggle as old as time itself.

The band encourages others to visit Tata's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/kumislizerartwork) for his brilliant artwork and offers high praise for his commitment and creativity. They recommend him to fellow bands in search of distinct and evocative artwork.
