Drenched in blood-red decay and oppressive atmosphere, this cover channels the raw brutality of Pawns—a visual descent into dehumanization, control, and mass death. Inspired by the disturbing industrial nightmare of Phil Tippett’s Mad God, the artwork reflects a world where autonomy is illusion and existence is expendable. Every texture screams suffering. Every figure is a symbol of enslavement. Like the record itself, the image offers no escape—only confrontation with the grotesque systems we’re trapped in.
