Artwork

Joe DiVita of Loudwire said of the album's cover artwork: "There’s nothing scarier than a man who looks like he’s lived too long. The hazy, gaunt, cane-wielding figure stands in front of a sickly greenish yellow sky with one hand resting steadily on what we can only imagine is a wolf. The sunken eyes and bony hands make this man appear as if he’s risen from the tomb to perpetually stalk these grounds with his beastly companion."
