American Death Metal veterans, Monstrosity, announced the upcoming release of a new album titled, "Screams From Beneath The Surface." The cover artwork was illustrated by Timbul Cahyono of bvllmetalart, who created the cover for the band's previous record.
"The cover concept came from [drummer] Lee Harrison. The main idea is some kind of demonic face, really evil looking, screaming beneath the surface," Cahyono says. "For the color wise he [Harrison] asked me to paint just kind of bleak and dystopian looking, since the last album was pretty colorful. Ultimately, he gave me freedom to do my thing. Overall, I wanted to make an image that will staring back at the viewers. Also, if you zoom in, you can see some sea creatures crawling around that face since this thing is under water."
The artist painted this illustration "in a traditional way, with acrylic on paper. I used thin layers of color technique. The original size is 18 x 18 inches. I also painted some images for merchandise based on this album."
The album can be pre-ordered at https://www.metalblade.com/monstrosity/
