BLOODBOUND's "FIELD OF SWORDS" ALBUM COVER STORY

Swedish Power Metal band, Bloodbound, will release its new album, "Field Of Swords" next November 21, 2025 through Napalm Records. The cover artwork was designed by the group's frequent collaborator, Peter Sallai of Mortpaintgraphics.

"Bloodbound’s own mascot character, Nosferatu, is usually the main character on their album covers. This time, the band requested that they want a more militant, warlike scene," Sallai comments. "He has to wear knight’s armor and shall fight against orcs on a dark battlefield. I always go by the band’s request, which they came up with a specific idea."

The artwork was created digitally. "I usually work with Photoshop and a digital drawing tablet/screen," the Hungarian artist reveals. "My work has always been characterized by a kind of mixed media or digital painting and it is always important that hand painting shall dominate. This image also reflects my visions, more direct and it’s like a fantasy movie poster."
