Legendary Floridian Death Metal collective, Nocturnus AD (a.k.a
Nocturnus) are about to unleash their eagerly awaited album,
"Paradox."
Drummer, Mike Browning, and his colleagues hired the talents
of Indonesian artist, Timbul Cahyono of bvllmetalart for the creating of the
detailed, Sci-Fi-oriented album cover. The original panoramic graphic seems to
be a direct continuation of the artwork created by artist, Dan Seagrave for
Nocturnus' classic debut, "The Key" (1990).
"This album is successor to The Key (1990) and so the
artwork," Cahyono explains, exclusively for And Justice For Art. "The
concept is based on 4 songs from the new album that continue with The Key
story. This album cover is one long painting for front and back cover. The
story of this sci-fi scenery is The Key character is putting the lightning bolt
symbol into a part of machinery to open a portal into the secret room full of
ancient alien machinery with Lovecraft type creatures coming through the portal
and traveling through time and space."
The artist hopes that "when people listen the album and
look at the album cover, their minds travel through time and space too. Mike
thinks the artwork is fit perfectly with the music and the story."
The original artwork was painted with acrylic and color
pencils on 185 grams watercolor paper. Its dimensions are 12 x 24 inch."
