Behind The Artworks: Ephialtes - Melas Oneiros (2024)

As for the artwork for the album, we asked our friend, tattoo artist Łukasz Kotula, to paint it. We showed him the lyrics of the album and explained what’s behind both the band's name (Ephialtes – ‘nightmare’) and the album's title (Melas Oneiros – ‘black dream’). Of course, we placed the figure of a nightmare in the context of many beliefs around the world. What you see on the cover art is therefore Lukasz’ vision, his very own perception of the entity responsible for the nightmare zone, the entity that sends the sleeping man into the abyss of darkness, fear and eternal terror.
